Josh Jacobs Primed for Heavy Workload Against Struggling Giants Run Defense

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is projected to exceed his 78.5 rushing yards prop against the New York Giants. The Packers' offense has struggled recently, scoring only 20 points in their last two home losses, and has been hampered by injuries to key pass-catchers like Tucker Kraft and Matthew Golden. In a game where Green Bay is a seven-point favorite and may look to re-establish the run, Jacobs is expected to receive a significant workload. The Giants' defense ranks 30th in the league with a 44.9 run-defense grade, despite a strong pass rush. Over the past two weeks, Jacobs has averaged 38 carries and gained 72% of his yards after contact, forcing eight missed tackles, even in games where Green Bay trailed significantly. This favorable matchup suggests Jacobs will be heavily involved as the Packers aim to bounce back.
