"The Packers have won six straight games after their quarterback suggested they could run the table after the team was stuck in a mid-season slump. While Rodgers' prognostication now makes a great sound bite, it does nothing to slow the positive momentum the Packers have gained in the market and with the media. The Packers were an overwhelming favorite with the division on the line last Sunday night in Detroit and they didn’t let down their backers, as they covered easily as a 3½-point road favorite. The Packers defeated three playoff teams on their current stretch but two of them, the Texans and Lions, failed to reach double digit wins. The other W's were against Minnesota, Chicago and Philadelphia. The Packers blew a 17-point second half-time lead to the Bears and the Vikes nearly snuck in the backdoor as a six point dog. Green Bay has had some major problems all year in their pass defense that ranks 31st in the league. Their offensive line has given up 35 sacks this season compared to a Giants team that ranks third in the league in pass protection."
"The Giants are making headlines heading into their Wild Card Playoff game in Green Bay. Their wide receivers, led by Odell Beckham Jr., took a little trip to Miami after the Giants Week 17 win at Washington but nobody had the sense to keep the camera phones on the shore. Not to be outdone, New York's highly touted secondary gave themselves the “N.Y.P.D.” moniker (for New York Pass Defense) which sent the talking heads into a tizzy on whether the name was an “homage” or “disrespectful” to the police force it was borrowed from. All of this makes for some good reading/radio but none of it means anything when it comes down to what's going to happen on the field. The Giants lost at Green Bay in Week 5, 23-16 in a game that was never really in doubt but they did force a push with a late fourth quarter touchdown. Even though that game was months ago, we've heard the case made that if Green Bay could cover a touchdown when they were playing bad, covering this number should be no problem now that they're rolling. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. The Giants are this year’s Broncos. Only the Rams, 49ers and Bears scored fewer points in the NFC than the Giants but only the Patriots allowed fewer points than the Giants. It all comes down to the defense holding their opponent low enough that the Giants offense can score just enough to win. Defense wins championships though and that makes the Giants dangerous and the points appealing."

I think the Giants are way overrated. This game looks more like the pittsburgh game from earlier this year than any other for the Giants. Their offense is pretty bad and awful on third down. They can't run he ball and their defense has been solid but I think overrated. If it's all about playing your best at the right time I'd have to say Green Bay is hitting on all cylinders. If Giants fall behind they don't have the offense to come back IMO. Taking the best qb in football at home.
I totally get where your coming with the giants on offense and lack of. Greenbay secondary is weak and if eli has any time they will have plenty of opportunity to have huge plays. As far as greenbay playing mind blowing football im just not buying into it. If the packers blow out the gmen it will be because the gmen beat themselves. As far as strength of schedule i dont see an advantage as far as conference i lean giants. Giants defense last week gave up 10 points to washington who has been putting up large numbers all season . The giants offense was lame last week and play calling terrible. Greenbay destroyed seattle and i just dont see a repeat of that kind of performance by
the giants. Steve spagnoli is the real deal and doesnt get enough credit for the giants defense. if defense is what wins then im a total homer to take the 5points against a very vanilla greenbay thats playoff hopes came down to beating detroit and hoping redskins lose.
