    Discuss.

    I am totally unsure about this one. This may, surprisingly be the best game next week.

    I feel fairly confident in this one. The Giants are a great story and they find ways to win, but Green Bay is just far more explosive and has way too many weapons for a depleted Giants secondary. Yes, I know Dallas had a lot of weapons too, but the Packers have been a much more efficient offensive team of late than the Cowboys, not to mention the obvious advantage of Lambeau.

    I think the Chargers have a better shot than the Giants, honestly.

    I think the Giants are playing great and this will be a close game. However, I look for Favre to pull it out late. The Packers secondary is outstanding.

    I have been saying for a long time, to anyone who would listen. That Brett Favre is gonna find a way to beat the AFC Champ in the Super Bowl. I still hold to that.

    The Packers negate the giants pass rush by throwing quick short routes.

    The giants were lucky against the cowboys the game came down to their defense beating the cowboys offense....and not Eli Manning. Once the packers get up by 2 scores early in the second Eli will get picked off 3 times and it'll be over.

    Gotta go with the Packers. The Cowboys sputtered to the finish line and it caught up with them today. The Packers are playing well and Favre will abuse their secondary.

    G-Men a HELL of a finish but, ... they crash with a thud because, the Pack rarely lose in the playoffs at Lambeau. Only recent exception Vick and the Birds a few years back. So, for cinderella the clock strikes midnight next Sunday. The Pack look like a team of destiny this year and could very well win it ALL!

    gotta wonder about the GB running game if the weather is horrible up there. Can Grant continue this run? Cause the Giants should be able to run it btwn Jacobs and Ahmad whatever his name was.

    But I'll take the Pack in a big win anyway..

    They didn't have many problems last night.

    The Packers O-Line did a great job against Kerney and the Seahawks' pass rush, if they can repeat that performance against the G-Men, the Giants could be in for a long night.

    34-17 Packers

    Your "for entertainment only purposes" early line is GB (-7)(42)....

    My advice is take the Pack in the snow...lay the points and build on to your house (or with the piddly amount of money I can afford betting..treat yourself to a nice Golden Corral buffet)

    It would be a nice story if Favre slays the the mighty Patriots and goes out like Elway. Not that he said this would be his last season.

    Well! Thanks a lot for messing it up for those of us who haven't seen the games, OP. :rolleyes:

    You just HAD to be the thread starter in BOTH, huh, Lil Pun? :p

    Man I hope its like -10 degrees.

    The Giants have won 9 straight road games its going to be a tight game IMO.

    This might be a game for the ages right here...Packers and Giants. In this case, NFC actually has better and more intriguing match up than the AFC.

    GB secondary is the only one that stands a chance against NE. The hits that they put on the SEA wideouts were intense. I don't recall a missed tackle either. I want GB-NE badly...

    Favre will eat up the blitz packages with short outs, and the Packers WR's will murder the beat-up NY secondary.

    Packers by 10.

    Go Pack Go!
