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!

beast (2h) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (11h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (15h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (17h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.
