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!

Zero2Cool (23h) : Woo-hoo

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Wife of reason posted on the in/out thread on fleaflicker that both she and vor are in

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last
