Poll- Packers VS Giants

[GrnBay007]

It's very apparent to me that the person who created this thread has little success in the sports gambling world; at least she pays up her debts though

LOL nice that you finally admitted that!! Now it would appear you are the only one that has not paid up.

I've told you over and over I'll send the gal over to do the lapper whenever you want me to

Seattle's defense came in to Green Bay with just as many superlative adjectives...and the weather and Green Bay OL absolutely dominated them.

I would expect the same thing to happen next weekend. It won't be a fast track, and that will favor the Packer offense and defense IMO.

Green Bay, if it plays like it has the majority of the season, will win this game by double digits.

The first Packers-Giants game this season was pretty close until the 4th quarter. I think the Pack will win but it will be tougher than a lot of Packers fans think.

The injury factor in the Giants secondary combined with the strength of the Packers passing attack and the fact that G.B. has been home over the past 3 weeks while the Giants have been crossing all over the country playing emotionally draining football games is the reason why I think the Packers will win this one by 7+. Home field advantage is so huge in this one. G.B. is rested and healthy while the Giants have been battling the injury factor and travel. The Packers should win this game. Sure, the Giants could win but the Packers should win. They have talent and circumstances in place to clinch a trip to the Superbowl.

I agree.

If Green Bay was a team that was going to fold under pressure, going down 14-0 after 5 minutes on your home turf is as good a place as any to do so.

However, Green Bay showed the composure and confidence of a true title contender.

The Giants are a good team...but they were playing on fumes that last quarter against Dallas. They got a huge win, but it reminded me A LOT of the Packers beating SF in the regular season before they got dumped by ATL in the playoffs a few years back. It takes a lot out of you to win big games like that, and I'm not sure the Giants have much left to give.

True, the Giants have had to travel for their playoff wins, but so did the 2005 Steelers. They didn't have to travel as much but did have to win at Cincinnati, at Indy and at Denver before beating Seattle in the Super Bowl.

Yes, but the Steelers were a team that had a much more complete team IMO. They relied almost exclusively on a dominant run game, and had a great defense. The Giants have an OK run game and an OK defense.

It isn't the travel that would worry me as a Giant fan. It is the level of endurance. The Steelers beat teams in 2005 by forcing their will on them by and large. The Giants haven't done that. The Giants have had to scrap and claw...and eventually you run out of juice.

Even though the Giants won, I think you could literally see that juice coming up empty late in the game. Their offense couldn't move the ball a lick when they had the chance to ice the game...and Dallas had chances to win that game, but shot themselves in the foot several times with poor penalties and frustration.

not gonna vote......don't want to anger the gods.

There is only one God - so you have upset him already.



Fortunately, He is also a Packer fan.
