Dave Portnoy’s ‘Packers by a Zillion’ Doesn’t Ring True as Giants Secure Narrow Victory

While Dave Portnoy is often hailed as a football stalwart, sometimes even he can get his predictions wrong! Ahead of the heavyweight clash between the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers on December 12th, Portnoy stood firm behind the Packers. The Barstool Sports owner even claimed the Packers would take the game “…by a zillion“. However, the Giants trounced the Packers in the showdown with 24-22.

The Giants’ star QB Daniel Jones has been out of the action due to an injury. Hence, the New York team had to opt for a rookie Tommy DeVito as they hosted the Packers. Understandably, Dave Portnoy was sure that the visitors would trample over the NFC East powerhouse.

Dave Portnoy’s prediction for the Packers saw a downhill

Despite his predictions and resolute support of the Packers, the Giants challenged Portnoy’s hopes as the hosts took the high-stakes game by 24-22. As the Giants retained the edge at halftime, humorous scenes on the stands made Portnoy take to social media to express his frustration.

In a short video clip uploaded by the man himself, we can see a bunch of elated Giants fans having a ball during last night’s game. As the match went into halftime, the fans couldn’t hold back their wide smiles as they were seen planting jubilant kisses on each other’s cheeks.

Dave Portnoy understandably wasn’t particularly pleased with his own predictions and advised himself to “Next time just go with it Dave“.

Portnoy’s mundane feelings can be comprehended even better given how his favorite team has been performing this season. After Tom Brady’s departure, the Patriots have been on a slippery slope.

However, it’s not just the Patriots or the Packers who have let Portnoy down this season. Amidst Tom Brady’s former team’s downfall, Dave Portnoy announced his support of the Cincinnati Bengals. But they didn’t reciprocate either and Portnoy’s large wager on them ahead of the Bengals’ Ravens match last month resulted in a massive financial loss for El Presidente.
