Play: Point Spread: -4.0/-115 Green Bay Packers
The NY Giants, coming off a week 17 win over the hapless Washington Redskins, go on the road to take on the Green Bay Packers who are locked away the NFC North crown last week with a win over the Detroit Lions. The Giants have been up and down over the last two weeks of the season but come into wildcard weekend with momentum after winning a game where nothing was really at stake for them. The Giants have been doing well recently thanks to their defense but are about to be severely tested as they go on the road to take on the high powered Packers offense. Eli Manning had an extremely pedestrian day against Washington but in something of an interesting trend the Giants ran the ball 40 times for 161 yards, a huge departure from the 88.3 yards per game they managed over this season.

The Green Bay Packers come into this game as one of the hottest teams in the league and with Aaron Rodgers having fulfilled his guarantee to run the table in the regular season it is not time for them to try and translate that to the postseason. The Green Bay Packers passing game has been incredible over the last six games of the season but now have to take on the stingy Giants secondary. Green Bay is a team capable of running the ball quite well and defensively they should not be too worried given how lackluster the Giants have been offensively. Look for the home team Green Bay Packers to get the win and cover on Sunday behind their stub QB and offensive weapons.
