11/16: GMEN +7: Three blown leads this season, and Brian Daboll is out of a job. Yet another head coach in New York threw in the towel on Monday when Big Blue fi red Daboll. The former Buffalo Bills’ offensive coordinator was seen as an offensive innovator, but saw a quick decline after a promising first season. Mike Kafka will serve as the interim head coach. Daboll’s fi ring marks the fourth mid- or late-season ousting of a Giants head coach since 2016 (after Ben McAdoo, Pat Shurmur, and Joe Judge), highlighting the franchise’s instability – posting a combined 53-104-1 record (.338 winning percentage) since Tom Coughlin left in 2015. After a surprising 10-8-1 rookie season, the Giants went 9-25 in the final two full seasons under Daboll. Two words best describe the Giants’ effort behind him: sustained mediocrity. Interim head coach Mike Kafka was recently mentioned as a candidate for the head coaching job in Tennessee. On Monday night, Green Bay’s offense was a total disappointment, managing only 13 points at home against Carolina, adding to the ongoing curiosity about why the Packers have been so average. It’s also notable that on Monday night, the Packers suffered their third loss of the season when they held an opponent to 16 points or fewer points. It doesn’t help that QB Jordan Love hasn’t thrown a touchdown pass in his last 73 pass attempts. While interim head coaches rarely get the permanent job, those who do often have a short leash, as owners quickly second-guess their choices at the first sign of trouble. It’s good that Kafka has friends in high places in the NFL. The bottom line is, Green Bay is 1-9 ATS in games when both teams come off a nondivision matchup. We’ll see how the Giants respond to Kafka. You might be surprised.
