    Giants vs Packers Preview and Prediction

    When the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants meet, it’s a matchup between the proverbial unstoppable force and immovable object. The force in question are the Packers who have finally kicked the monkeys off their backs especially in quarterback Aaron Rodgers’s case as he’s returned to his MVP-caliber form and finished with 40 touchdowns to lead the league while finishing fourth in passing yards and QB rating. On the other hand, Eli Manning is a rollercoaster of a quarterback to say the least. He has great games and terrible ones and it’s been this way for him for most of his career but in his two Superbowl-winning seasons, he delivered when it mattered most.

    He is also backed by an elite defense that ranked second in points allowed. In a battle of beasts of offense and defense, the winner may just win it all.

    My Team's Next Match

    Eli Manning defines “clutch” especially when it comes to the playoffs. The younger Manning brother could be on his way to a third Superbowl assuming his 2007 and 2011 form shows up. Manning has a career 59.7 completion percentage and 83.7 QB rating in the regular season but it goes up to 61.5 and 89 in the postseason. Rodgers meanwhile has logged NFL-record QB ratings in the regular season (104.1) and still rates highly in the postseason (98.2) though he has been ho hum in his last three playoff appearances. It goes without saying whichever quarterback performs wins this for their team.

    If offense wins games, defense wins championships. It’s hard to bet against the Packers at Lambeau Field in the playoffs especially when Aaron Rodgers and the fourth-ranked offense are finally getting things going.  But the Giants have something special going on this year: their defense. The Giants have allowed the second-fewest points in the NFL including limiting the mighty Cowboys to a season-low seven points. Both Eli Manning and Aaron Rodgers have won two playoff games at Lambeau Field and despite Eli’s mercurial nature, he has this amazing habit of saving his best performances in the postseason as his two Superbowl rings attest.
