NFC Championship...Are You Kidding?

Early in the year, I had a survey on my blog that asked how games the Packers would win this year. Some people were optimistic, but most answer were in the 7-9 win range. Not too many people envisioned the Packers winning 13 games and being one game away from the Super Bowl. The Packers should be able to handle the Giants easily, but this game scares me.

Pros

• The Giants have a lot of injuries, especially in the secondary. If we line up with some 4 or 5 WR sets, I think we can create major match-up issues.
• Ryan Grant can't do worse than two fumbles in three carries. If the weather is bad, we should have a solid running game.
• Favre is remaining patient and is not forcing anything.
• The Packer run defense has picked up.

Cons

• The Packer D-line needs to get pressure on Manning. They have struggled in pressuring the QB as of late. Manning with time to throw could be dangerous.
• The Giants are peaking at the right time and they are just a scary team. Despite being underhanded, they do what it takes to win.

This is not en exhaustive list...feel free to add your thoughts. I think the Packers can pull this one out. But, it will be closer than people think.

Packers 31
Giants 21
