The Patriots, riding a nine-game win streak, are heavy favorites against the Giants, who have lost six straight and who were the lone team eliminated from playoff contention prior to Thanksgiving.

After missing New York’s last two games due to a concussion, Jaxson Dart has been cleared to return and is expected to start against New England. The rookie quarterback is understandably eager to return for a primetime matchup.

The Giants lost lead back Cam Skattebo, but they’ve still been efficient running the ball with Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary. New York heads into this matchup ranked ninth in the NFL in rushing. The Patriots have the No. 2 run defense, but struggled last weekend without defensive tackle Milton Williams.
