GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers are set to take their maiden voyage to London. Well, actually, they’re flying to London to face the New York Giants on Sunday. Kickoff is at 8:30 a.m. Central.

The Packers will leave Green Bay on Thursday. The rest of this week’s plan is top-secret. It’s as if traveling to a football game is like protecting the president.

“I’d rather keep it kind of in house just in case somebody’s listening to this,” coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday.

“I think a lot of it is who handles this trip the best is going to be able to play to the best of their abilities,” he added. “I know from my own experience – and we’ve had a lot of coaches on our staff that have been over there before and done it certain ways – I’m not saying what we’re doing is right. We think, obviously, it’s the right thing to do, but there are a lot of adjustments you’ve got to make.”

Here is this week’s viewing plus a handful of notes to help get you ready for this historic game.

Packers-Giants Betting Guide

The Packers are 9.5-point favorites at SI Sportsbook. They are the second-biggest favorites on the board. The over/under of 40.5 is the second-lowest of the week. The Packers are only 7.5-point favorites at FanDuel Sportsbook. In early betting, 74 percent of the money and 56 percent of the bets are on Green Bay.

At SI Sportsbook, Green Bay is +1000 to win the Super Bowl, unchanged from last week. In the NFC Championship race, the Eagles (+300) are the favorites, followed by the Packers (+350) and Buccaneers (+450). Last week, they were all tied at +350.

At FanDuel, Aaron Rodgers is +2300 to win MVP. That is down sharply from +1000 to open the season and +2000 from a week ago. Romeo Doubs has the third-shortest odds to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year at +700 and Rashan Gary has the third-shortest odds to win NFL Defensive Player of the Year at +950.

- Led by NFL rushing leader Saquon Barkley, the Giants are No. 1 in the NFL with 192.5 rushing yards per game and No. 2 with 5.75 yards per carry. They have two of the three best rushing days of the season, with 262 yards in last week’s win over Chicago and 238 yards in the Week 1 win over Tennessee. Even in their lone loss, to Dallas in Week 3, they rushed for 167 yards.


- Handling Barkley will require sound tackling. Green Bay’s leading tackler, linebacker De’Vondre Campbell, missed only four tackles while making 145 tackles last year. That’s 36.3 tackles per miss. This year, Campbell has 36 tackles but missed six. That’s 6.0 tackles per miss.


- Speaking of missed tackles, Green Bay running back Aaron Jones has been electric. Of the 29 running backs with at least 40 carries, he leads the way in PFF’s elusive rating, a metric that measures the success of a runner “independent” of his blockers. He is second with 4.42 yards per carry after contact on the strength of 18 missed tackles. He’s on pace for 76.5 misses; his career high is 49.


- Green Bay beat New England on Sunday, thanks in part to starting quarterback Mac Jones being inactive with an ankle injury and backup Brian Hoyer exiting with a concussion. For the Giants, starter Daniel Jones has an ankle injury and backup Tyrod Taylor has a concussion. Jones might play, but how much of a factor will he be after averaging 6.23 yards per rush to start the season?“Daniel is feeling a little bit better today. We’ll just see how that goes,” Giants coach Brian Daboll told reporters on Monday. “I just think each day we take a look at him. He can throw from the pocket just fine. Obviously, he has another skill-set that you can utilize, whether that’s move the pockets or zone-reads. So, I’d say the first thing we do is make sure he’s as healthy as can be, and if he can do the things we need him to do for that game plan, then we talk about it. If he can’t, then he can’t.”Against Chicago, Barkley played some wildcard quarterback. Davis Webb, a third-round pick by the Giants in 2017, is on the practice squad.


- The Giants are the only team in the NFL without an interception. The Packers, who have one interception, have a league-low six passes defensed. Rasul Douglas has a team-high two.
