NFL Week 13 Picks: Packers Set to Deliver NY Giants Last Crushing Blow

Tom Coughlin has tried to distance himself from the thought that the New York Giants are once again imploding at the end of the season. That will be impossible to do after this Sunday. 

The Giants are at home this week, and that is about the bulk of the good news. The Packers come in with swagger, offense and comfort aplenty. If the Giants are pressing at the moment, the Packers are working under the exact opposite sentiment. 

When you show such promise at the start of the season, a late collapse is going to be rough to explain to the fans, especially when you consider how battered this team was at the start. 

The injuries were supposed to shelve the Giants from making any advances in the division, yet they flourished. After finally getting some personnel back, they falter in a big way. 

A three-game losing streak is a wake-up call, but a fourth loss headed into the last few games of the season would be a disaster. 

You get the sense that this team who has been down this road before is ready for the wheels to come off, and that is where the Packers come in. 

The Giants were just torched by Drew Brees and the Saints. I submit to you that the Packers are deeper on offense and employ a better quarterback in Aaron Rodgers. 

I will take a team that is relaxed and confident over one that is struggling and gripping any day. There is still hope for Coughlin to correct his team. If he does, he keeps his job. 

After seeing his defense lapse against Brees and the Saints, I just don't see it. This club is close to calling it a year mentally. The only thing that makes that a certainty is another blowout loss. 

Again, that is where the Green Bay Packers come in. After this weekend, we will be able to cross the Giants off the list once again. 

Better luck next year, when the Giants employ a new head coach.
