1/20 NFC Championship NY Giants @ Green Bay -7.5

[Spartacus]

Note to Cheeseheads everywhere – the Giants are on a mission and are 9-1 SU on the road this season. Either Bret Favre or Eli Manning will be the NFC starting QB in Super Bowl XLII after both turned in inspired performances in victories last weekend. The Packers have won four of five meetings since 1995, including a September 35-13 rout at the Meadowlands. New York comes in looking to avenge that defeat and win their third straight playoff game as a road dog.

Oddsmakers currently have the Packers listed as 7-point favorites versus the Giants, while the game's total has not yet been posted.

The Giants defeated Dallas 21-17 as a 7-point underdog in last week's NFC Divisional matchup. The combined score fell UNDER the posted over/under total (47.5).

Eli Manning passed for 163 yards with two touchdowns for New York, while Amani Toomer caught four passes for 80 yards with two touchdowns and the defense stymied Tony Romo the entire second half.

Brett Favre threw three touchdowns to lead the Packers to a 42-20 win over the Seahawks in the Divisional playoffs. The Packers covered the 7.5-point spread, and the combined score sailed OVER the posted total of 44.

Favre completed 18-of-23 pass attempts for 173 yards, and Ryan Grant carried the ball 27 times for 201 yards with three touchdowns in the win.


Team records:
New York: 10-6 SU, 10-6 ATS
Green Bay: 13-3 SU, 12-3-1 ATS

I've been pulling for favre all season I'd like to see the guy go out on top..........maybe he will be the guy that brings down the patriots dynasty...........but would he retire if he won? I doubt it the guy looks like he could play 5 more years and with the caliber of crappy QB's in the NFL he's way above and beyond most of the younger dude's! JMO

The Giants are starting to give me shades of the Colts from last year. They entered the playoffs with everyone thinking that they were no-hopers but had strongly patched up their weaknesses.

Still, GB has looked solid almost every time that I've seen them this year. They looked very solid last week, once the first minute or so was over.

Hoping for Eli to come back to reality.
