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.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.When it comes to the safeties' role in run defense, New England's unit has been one of the most skilled this year, profiling as the best in the league.
