Giants 23 @ Packers 20
Jeremy: I know you want to be at home and all, but I don't know about the Packer fan's open, unwaivering, rooting for the surging Giants to get past a Dallas team that had been on the ropes for a month. The playoffs always have to be viewed as a "be careful what you wish for" situation.
Honestly though, I'm at a loss for words regarding the likelihood the Packers might make the Superbowl.
There are only three directions this game can go:
50 point blowout in favor of the Packers, Eli Manning throws 7 interceptions, is figuratively lynched in the media and literally lynched when he gets home to New York.
Close game that is kept alive for the Packers by a ridiculous BFR call.
Brett Favre has a meltdown of titanic proportions, throws 7 interceptions, and the worst anyone says about it is "Brett Favre may have just ended his storybook season. That's really too bad for a story to end this way for such a universally beloved figure."
Sarah: This is just plain awesome. Two years ago I could not have predicted this. We have to beat the Giants so that Super Bowl 42 can be Good vs Evil. The Giants secondary is hurt and will be no match for Favre and our wide receivers. HEE hee, I'm sooo giddy, but I mustn't get ahead of myself. GO PACK GO!
Matt: The Giants have Mannimentum! Giants 34 - Packers 17
Jon: I could see New York winning this, but I have a hard time picking them over Green Bay. Here's my take. The Packers are a well-rounded, above average team in a league full of ok teams with deficiencies. The Packers are no longer a pass only team, so it's hard to see how they won't at least contend with just about anyone. However, this will probably be their toughest game of the year, with the exception of the Dallas game. As an elite team, you aren't really tested more than 2-3 times per year in the NFL. I don't think this will be like week 2, scoreboard wise, but, the Giants will probably have to get to Favre often and be able to stop the run in order to change the outcome. Then again, maybe they'll just outscore them.

My comments for the two games: Patriots: duh Packers: duh Clearly the Patriots cannot lose. Now, I don't think the Packers-Giants game is a no-brainer, but I still would have to say that on paper the Packers are the better team. These two teams met early on, and both teams are saying that they are different teams than they were at that time. That's true. Bother teams got better as the season went on, I just think the Packers get more better. I really hope there is a really really bad BFR call that puts the Packers over the Super Bowl, because I know that would really make Jeremy happy. And that's all I care about; Jeremy's happiness:) Edit: Law of averages: The Giants have won something like 9 straight road games. Seriously, that can't continue forever. The Cowboys have played horrible the last 4 games. Seriously, that can't continue forever. What Jeremy says is true. It's not like the Giants are the easy ticket to Arizona. But I'd much rather play at home, especially after seeing how the Packers crushed a very good defense that seemed to be held at bay partly because of the weather. |

Brett Favre has won one Superbowl, been to two, and been involved in zero Superbowls "this" decade or, for that matter, has been to one in the last decade, just barely, which they lost. Also, the very fact that 90% of what is said on this website can even be called an "insult" against him sort of does more to prove "our" point. |

Chargers @ Patriots I reallllllllly thought the Colts would win last week. I didn't see the game so I'm sure how that happened but it doesn't really matter. If the Chargers want to move on they'll have to suprise me again. Look at the home field, the coaches, the xp and maturity, etc. Giants @ Packers I for one was not really rooting for the Giants. At this point in time they're clearly playing better than Dallas, so I kind of wanted Dallas to win if anything, because then Favre could win there in his career, now it might (probably even) won't ever happen. Seattle was not a good defense, they just had a cake schedule. New York's defense has been very good in the second half of the year, though they have some injuries in the secondary. If the line and other blockers (I don't expect too much 5 WR sets) can give Favre time and the Pack gets an early lead they should win though. If they get behind by 14 again I'll be a lot more worried this time since the Giants can actually run the ball. To ensure victory, someneeds to figure out the word to break Eli's hypnosis that is making him think he is his brother. |

I'd like to point something out for the Packer fans on this site regarding Jeremy's analysis of the game. Jeremy mentioned 2 scenarios: one has Eli Manning throwing 7 ints and getting slaughtered by the media, the other has Favre throwing 7 ints and getting consoled by the media. Now, this can't really be taken as an insult of any kind except to the media. Now, I'm one that generally isn't going to slaughter someone no matter how bad they play. For the most part I think Favre has played well enough over the years where a 7 int performance can be looked at as "man, that's too bad." It wouldn't be his first bad playoff performance, but he's still in a way earned the right to have a bad performance be sort of "glossed over". Eli on the other hand hasn't really done anything to earn a pass with the media, so a bad performance on his part would be fuel for the "give him the boot" or "burn his house down" type media coverage that is so often given to high profile athlete's that don't live up to our mostly unrealistic expectations. Eli Manning was supposed to be the next great QB before he was even drafted. In fact, I think even he thought so because he felt the need to turn down the lowsy Chargers franchise in favor of the Giants. Because he hasn't performed like a hall of famer in his 3rd year, he is falling way short, and it seems like no performance can live up to what writers and fans want him to be. Favre on the other hand came out of nowhere, got good fairly quickly, was (pardon me) the best for about a 3 or 4 year stretch, and has since sort of coasted off that stretch. Favre never had expectations to meet. He played in Green Bay which is about as media-friendly of a place as you can get, compared to Mannings surroundings of New York. I'm not going to be a "Favre apologist" here, although I will say that for all the "bad games" or "bad plays" he's made over the course of his career, you could probably find about 5, 6 7, or 8 unbelievable plays or games that make up for that. Anyway, that's not my point. In summary, Jeremy wasn't criticizing Favre in anyway way (or were you, sometimes I can't tell). He was pointing to two similar scenarios involving two different people and fans and writers reacting in opposite ways. Personally, if Manning threw 7 interceptions, I don't think I would say the media slaughter was rightfully so. That's kind of just me. I don't complain when Favre gets heaps of praise, partly because I'm a Packer fan, but moreso because I'd rather compliment someone for doing good or assume they had a bad day if they did bad. If someone is truly horrible, sure, I'll say it, but 1 or 2 or a handful of bad games or bad plays doesn't merrit some of the vitriol that the media often lays down. (note: most of this doesn't apply when they are talking about Vikings players. Because, come on, who doesn't like hearing their rival team get the smack laid down on them?) |

Somehow Charter managed to spin it so now they look like heros for giving us HD just in time for the Packers playoffs hoping we will forget about the NFL network debacle.

No. Fox 25/48 is working on upgrading to a digital signal. The FCC is only demanding a move away from analog to digital, there's no where that says it has to be HDTV. Fox 25/48 is viewed as one station by fox national so Fox won't buy them the equipment for both. It's likely that we just wont get HDTV for a long long time on our fox just because we happen to live in an area covered by a station owned by people constantly on the brink of bankruptcy. |

Also, going into this season Favre was 12/20 in the playoffs with 1.7 TD's a game and 1.3 int's. Those aren't terrible numbers but they aren't beyond reproach. He'd had 14 int's in the playoffs this decade (6 games). Brett has had some epic bad games and plays in the playoffs. Obviously you could say he's offset good games with bad, but who couldn't you say that about? Someday in the not too distant future Peyton Manning will pass every one of Favre's records, yet up until last year the media was merciless with the "can't win the big one" type comments, and I read an article talking about how perhaps this year is "regular" Manning and LAST year was the fluke. Weird stat. The Packers only have 4 playoff victories when Favre throws an INT. He's thown an INT in every playoff loss. |

Im going with the Packers and Patriots, but knowing the Packers extremely good luck, the chargers will somehow beat the patriots and lose every talented player they have in the process. Also the University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona will be crushed in a storm and the NFL will decide to move the super bowl to Green Bay! Keep in mind: the Giants have won 9 straight road games. (only road loss this season week 1 to Dallas) Ryan Grant is the key to victory for the packers, if the Giants stop Grant they have a chance. |

I think the Moss battery incident is somehow traced to a member of the Packers staff. Someone probably paid that woman to distract Moss. I didn't realize that the Arizona stadium was called the University of Phoenix Stadium. I was thinking to myself, They don't play in Sun Devil stadium anymore, they built a new one. Then I remembered that the University of Phoenix is the online university, so it's just another corporate stadium name, for the most part. Plus, I'm pretty sure the University of Phoenix does not have a football team for the Cardinals to share the stadium with. |

Chargers 12 @ Patriots 21
Jeremy: There are two big reasons the Patriots have to worry about this game that stem from one key factor. The Packers are still in the playoffs. This means one of two things. 1) The all injured Chargers will find a way to sneak past them because all the best teams have to be eliminated before they get to the Packers. 2) The Patriots will win the game but lose Tom Brady and Randy Moss in the process...just because that's how life seems to work out for the Packers.Sarah: The Chargers lost a lot when they won against the Colts. I haven't had time to look at the status of people, but LT and Rivers both got hurt. They are also just banged up on general. Plus I think the Patriots are like 16-1 or something. Oh, they're undefeated? I did not know that. Well, maybe this game will be even harder for the Chargers based on that little bit o info.
Matt: Randy Moss is clearly a locker room distraction for the Patriots. I think that they should trade him in the off-season. I hear the Chiefs are willing to give up Napoleon Harris.
Jon: It's kind of sad, in a sports kind of way, that we didn't get an Indianapolis - New England rematch.
