The Packers enter the playoffs with as much momentum as anyone, riding a six game winning streak, all must win situations too.
New York was not expected to be an elite team but their defensive improvements led to a very strong regular season. Only Dallas had more wins in the NFC.

Kick off is set for 4:40 PM ET with New York looking for some revenge. They lost at Green Bay in week five. This is probably the best game of the weekend.
New York Giants
It is going to be a cold day on Sunday but the Giants are going to need to heat up their offense.
All season long the Packers have struggled in the secondary so even though conventional wisdom says run the ball in cold weather the Giants need to get their passing attack going.
With weapons like Odell Beckham Jr, Sterling Shephard and Victor Cruz somebody should be open on most plays. They will run the ball to keep the defense honest but really it is going to be on Eli and this group to get the job done.

The Giants defense has shown up all season long – they are second in points allowed and only gave up 23 in the loss to GB earlier in the season.
They have playmakers at every level but it is unknown right now whether pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul will be able to answer the bell.
The secondary is filled with ball hawks who will have a change to make plays against Green Bay’s pass happy defense.
Even though they lost to the Packers earlier in the season this is a good matchup for New York.
Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers basically made a prediction the Packers could win six games in a row and make the playoffs and then led the way.
He has been amazing with 15 TDs and no interceptions over that span – in fact he hasn’t thrown a pick since week 10. Similar to New York this team struggles to run the ball.
They will jam it in their just to keep the defense honest but they are not expecting much. Geronimo Allison is a receiver with some size that has come on of late.
Rodgers is looking to him more and more.

The Green Bay defense has some nice pieces up front but they are not great. They are the second worst pass defense in the league thanks to injury and ineptness and they are exposed in that area nearly every week.
The run numbers are good but you can’t put much stock in them.
To give their secondary a chance they are going to have to be really good up front and put pressure on Eli – the sacked him 4 times in the earlier win. I can’t remember the last time Clay Matthews had a really dominant game.
This would be a good spot.

4* Free NFL Betting Prediction: New York +4.5
The previous game between these two was a push with the Packers at -7. Interestingly despite their hot play the number is even smaller this time around. I think it is well justified this is a FG game and I am calling for the upset.

Look for the offenses to heat up at the game goes on. New York makes a few more big plays than Green Bay and ultimately comes up with the toad victory, setting up a rematch with Dallas that we all want to see.
