The Packers match up so well with the Giants it is sick. The pack have a great defensive front to stop the run and they can also put the pressure on the QB. The Giants can throw the ball at times, but they dont run into corners like the pack have week in and week out (Bigby, Harris, Woodson, Collins). Which leads me to my strongest argument and that is the secondary of the Giants. We will come out in five wide and throw to Jennings deep, Jones and Driver short, and the dont forget about Brandon Jackson and the screen pass. I think Jackson will have another TD this next week on a reception. GOOD LUCK PACK – even though I don’t think you need it”!!!!

Actually, the Packers are a different team too with the way Grant has been running. And we gave him up for a 6th rounder…

Green Bay and the Giants are peaking at the right time so this should be a good football game. The weather may be a factor since it’s cold in NY but not Green Bay cold!! Favre is something like 42-5 when the kickoff temp is below 34 but they’re running into a team that thrives on playing on the road. The biggest question for the Packers will be if Favre can avoid sacks and not turn the ball over against the Giants pass rush. The Giants aren’t the same team today that they were in week 2 without Jacobs and not having a defensive identity at the time, but I still believe the Packers are the better team. The question for the Giants, as always, will be which Eli shows up…the pre-NE game Eli or the post-NE game Eli.

Should be interesting.

A Green Bay/New England Super Bowl would be one of the most anticipated games in NFL history.

I’m not optimistic about a Chargers upset unless LT, Rivers and Gates can get healthy fast. They’ll need to run the ball effectively and get a score or two on defense/special teams to get the win.

It will be interesting to see how the Giants play at Green Bay after the Packers blew them out earlier in the season in New York. When I did my fantasy defense article, the Giants were one of the few teams that played better D on the road, so maybe they do better away from the constant pressure of New York.

We don’t get to see the Pats/Colts and Packers/Cowboys rematches, but a Pats/Packers Super Bowl is much more likely. The anticipation of that game would be HUGE. America’s QB vs. Belicheat and his band of annoying All-Stars.

I just hope GB can get by the Giants.
