At a -7-point disadvantage, the Giants are enormous underdogs in this week's game, suggesting much more of an emphasis on passing than their typical game plan.The Giants have called the 3rd-most plays in football this year, totaling a staggering 61.0 plays per game.The New York Giants offensive line grades out as the 8th-best in football this year in protecting the quarterback, which has a positive influence on all passing game stats across the board.The New England Patriots defense has been gouged for the most touchdowns through the air in the league to wide receivers: 1.25 per game this year.This year, the stout Patriots run defense has surrendered a mere 0.33 TDs on the ground per game to opposing squads: the lowest rate in the NFL.
