The Giants have made it simple for themselves if not easy. Win Sunday in Green Bay and you are in the playoffs...guaranteed the six seed, and maybe better if others things happen.
The G-Men will re-visit the site of their 2007 NFC Championship game, and hopefully have some more good memories when they leave. The Packers will have Aaron Rodgers back in the line-up Sunday, but will still struggle to move the ball on the ground. They had some success against a very iffy New England defense last week, but I don't expect that success to continue against a not too happy Giants defense. Look for the obvious to happen here. The Packers will have no running attack except the mobile Rodgers who is coming off his second concussion of the season, and might be a bit hesitant to pull the ball down and run. The pass rush will need to be at it's best, and the pressures exotic. I do not expect any sort of hangover for this defense or this coordinator.
The Offense will continue to gel with the old and new pieces coming together, and will need a strong effort against a very talented Green Bay defense. They rush the passer well, and the offensive line will be tested yet again. Look for the Giants in the cold to run, run ,and run some more. The wide-outs will need to make some plays, but the main weapons this week will be Bradshaw and Jacobs.
This should be a very good game. The Packers have no chance to make the playoffs with a loss....and the Giants want to change the conversation from last week to one about who they will play and where once the post season begins.
Root hard for the Saints to lose......they will need to lose to Atlanta and Tampa the next two weeks to give us the 5th seed......assuming we take care of business Sunday afternoon.
