How would the Giants be the favorite? It is at Green Bay and the Packers have been the better team all season.

I have such mixed emotions all week about this game.

As one of you said above, I think the key is the run game in this. God knows WTF will happen on both sides with the passing game.

Something I didnt know last night on Inside The NFL, Cris Carter said that Lambeau is the only stadium in The NFL with a heated turf. So basically he said you are running on frozen dirt.

So, IMO, You run Brandon Jacobs, Ahmad Bradshaw and freakin Droughns all day and take your chances with Strahan, Osi, Kavika MItchell and Pierce up Brett Favres butt all day.

For Eli? Go back to what's been working and ride your veteran workhorse Amani Toomer. THrow short routes because Toomer is great at the RAC yards and he's always where the defense isnt.

Then use BUrress for long pass yardage.

SO, should be a good blizzard game.

Cool

The Packers are difficult to defeat at home. That is why I think that the Packers will win this game.

I like the Packers to win too...Eli has been playing very well this post season and I am just waiting for him to slip up and be the inconsistent Manning we are all use to watching...well this weekend may be the day because the Packers D (#1 ranked this post-season and #11 in the regular season) should give the Giants a good test. The running game will be important in these conditions...but remember that teams use screens and short passes as a supplemental running game as well...I like the Giants real rushers better then GB but I can see Favre with some screens and dink and dunk passes, then suddenly opening up the Giants D in a big play. So it comes down to who will be the better team and maybe it's more of a wish because of my immense Giants hatred, but I'm going to take the Packers to win and cover…GO PACK GO!!

I waiting for Favre to be the inconsistent gunslinger we saw last year, if we grab a lead AND hold Ryan Grant early, the picks will come and the Giants will prove everyone wrong AGAIN! We have only won 9 straight road games you figure someone would give us a little respect.

Giants 24----Packers 21

Patriots---Giants Super Bowl!!!

Why do you keep saying the experts didn't pick them?? Almost all of the experts picked them in the Tampa Bay game, it was about half and half for the Dallas game, and you might be right about this game because I didn't really watch the pregame to see if anybody picked them, but that still would only be one game where they weren't picked.

Favre lost me 50 bucks. How many times can you give the game away with all the chances you had. especially at home winning the toss with a legendary QB i dont see how Favre found a way to blow it with that awful pass.

Never shoudlve bet against the leagues best sack team and pass rush.

Even though they didnt sack Favre? Pressure is a bitch.

Same will be so for Brady in the Superbowl.

The G-Men are for real. And are not to be taken lightly.

Ugh...in OT when you get the ball first you win nearly 70% of the time (or something like that)...I really wanted the Packers to make it so at least I would have a team to root for...a passionate hatred for the Giants and Patriots...I guess I hate the Giants just a little more, so go Pats...I can't believe I just said that...

The Patriots haven't shown me in the playoffs why they're any different than the Bucs, the Cowboys, or the Packers.

Anyone that thinks the Patriots are gonna just roll the G-Men?

I'm willing to open up BIG on points bets on the side for this.
