The New York Football Giants were never going to go to the Superdome and outscore Drew Brees indoors on astroturf. But they can outscore the 49ers outdoors on grass. As for the Packers, the Giants lost to them 38-35 at home during a time of the season when their defense was confused and playing lots of backups. Last week, the Giants’ defense surrendered zero points. If the Giants’ offense plays as well as they did in the first meeting with the Packers, the G-Men will win this game today and head to Candlestick Park for a chance to go to the Super Bowl. If the Giants get to the Super Bowl, they’re almost certain to face either a rematch with the Ravens or a rematch with the Patriots. Either way, I’ll be ecstatic. But it starts with the game today on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. Go Jints!!

Longtime lurker and Packer fan here. I expect a good game, but you’re not the only team getting healthy, and the Falcons were not a great team. May the best team win.
Too bad the Packers overlooked the Chiefs. They will not overlook the Giants. I’m hoping green and gold.
Welcome. Sorry about the circumstances.
Jason Pierre-Paul is a beast. I’m looking forward to seeing how much the Giants’ D can slow down Rogers.
WI native and Packer fan here. I know the Giants will throw the kitchen sink so I hope the Packers make the needed adjustments. I expect a close game.
You need to pinch yourself, Booman. You’re dreaming.

Gonna hafto say I hope the Packers beat the doo doo dog mess out of the Giants, particularly Brandon Jacobs and Justin Tuck.
>>But they can outscore the 49ers outdoors on grass.
well they could, though they didn’t earlier this season.
it’s been an interesting weekend of football so far. One shootout, one blowout, one low scoring defensive struggle.
With 6 and change to go, following the turnover and quick score, things could be going better.
Except for the very very very ridiculous roughing call, a good drive.
The Giants got screwed by the refs repeatedly in that game.
The Packers hurt themselves with dropped passes, but the might have had 3 points all day if not for the refs stinking up the joint.
And no holding calls on the Packers? I saw a lot of holding, not if it called.
WHOAA! THE BIG GAMBLE.
Whoa, that wasn’t very good.
Congrats, Boo. Giants will be going to SF, and possibly to the SB.
Thanks, man. The Niners looked scary-good against the Saints, but the Giants aren’t going to be denied by Alex Smith. Tom Brady, maybe. Or Ray Lewis. But not Alex Smith.
