Using Zero rankings, Giants are 6th and Packers are 12th overall through entire 2016 regular season.

Same rankings over last four games.
Giants are 7th overall, 20th in offense and 3rd in defense.
Packers are 2nd overall, 2nd in offense and 15th in defense.

Aaron Rodgers has played against the Giants in the playoffs before. At Lambeau Field. On Sunday. At 3:40pm CST. He threw only 2 TD's and an INT.

The referee for that game was Bill Leavy.

Packers had 4 giveaways and just 1 takeaway in that game. Rodgers, Ryan Grant and John Kuhn each had fumbles.

Packers come into this game riding a six game win streak and the Giants lost to the Eagles before beating the Redskins in their season finale.

Packers put up 23 on Giants earlier this season at Lambeau Field and got 20 the last two playoff games vs Giants at Lambeau Field.

Some will say the Giants game earlier wasn't even that close because of the late Beckham TD. Shush.

Unfortunately the table will get a broken leg Sunday ...

Giants 30
Packers 20

Last time the Packers played the Giants in the playoffs, the Packers had been rested 2-3 weeks. They were cold. I also believe the tragedy involving the death of Joe Philbin's put a dark cloud over the team that week. I'm not saying the Packers are going to win (though I think they will), but I think I've seen too much stock being put in the past two games the Giants played at Lambeau in the playoffs. That last game was 5 years ago. Eli is still capable of being a great QB, but he doesn't feel like the same player to me. The key is to force him to make mistakes and get him rattled.

I think that if the Packers can put a whole game together, all 4 quarters, we will be OK.
Have to keep the foot on the gas the WHOLE game. No let ups. No "prevent (your team from winning) defense". Keep Manning running for his life.
It would be nice to actually BEAT these guys in the playoffs for a change.

Living in Giants and Eagles country as I do, I am never going to live this down if the Packers fall prey to the Giants in the postseason again. 🤬

The 2007 season matchup was the NFC Championship Round.
The 2011 season matchup was the NFC Divisional Round.
THe 2016 season matchup is the NFC Wild Card Round.

Freaking Giants could get the damn hatrick at Lambeau Field!
