don't they have something like a 9-1 road record so far this season? I think that the kid's got a legitimate case.....I mean, it sucks that their defence is crippled by all those injuries, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they not only cover whatever the spread is for next week, but also win it outright.

First of all, that's a fluke. Secondly, with Brett Favre playing like he is, the forecast calling for 11 degrees Fahrenheit as the high, Eli playing in the cold against arguably the best defense in the league, and the Lambeau crowd as probably the most knowledgeable and most faithful in all of sports, there is no chance for the Giants. I don't know if they'll cover, but they will not win. Eli is going to look like Peyton at Foxborough on Sunday, and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

Spot on Shifty. and no, they won't cover.

I couldn't be more glad that Dallas failed, and T.O crying afterwards..

(8) San Dieego SUPER CHARGERS...San Dieego SUPER CHARGERS!!! (8)

I hope you're all singing it with me on Sunday. Yeah we're going against a dynasty and one of the best teams in NFL history, but then again Baltimore, Philly and the Giants had them on the ropes so why can't we knock'em out?

Why in the hell do Charger players have to trash talk, like the Pats need more incentives. (referring to Olshanki's "WHO!? the Patriots, oh believe me they know whats up" and also Philips constant jabbering with fans)

Well, you can make a case for them having a weak-ass sched, but to call their remarkable away record a "Fluke" is I think just unfair and wrong. Also, I realize that East Rutherford ain't like the Tundra of GB in the dead of winter, but it also ain't no San Diego or nothing, bro, so this supposed weather advantage is rather misleading and needs to be put to a rest already because the Giants consistently play in bitter, frigid weather also.......I'm not delusional. Of course Lambeau is an enormous home field advantage, it's just that after having watched the Giants last 4-5 games, I'm really optimistic about this squad, man. Everyone that I've been hearing about is saying that GB is gonna role them. Role them like they did to the Seaturds, and I'm not buying that, man. The Seaturds have always been a horrendous team playing away from home in the playoffs, and they didn't seem to adjust to the playing surface after the snow came pouring down, which led them to overrun a lot of plays and miss otherwise easy tackles.......anyway. My heart's definitely with the Packers, but my money's on the Giants to cover.....or maybe the over? I was expecting the spread to be more than a touchdown to be honest....more like 10 or something......hmmm

Now I know why I dislike the Cowboys. I always had this notion that they were evil.

Proof.

Hitler is a Cowboys fan.

^^^ hahahaha

It all makes sense...

More proof.

I wouldn't touch any line or prop on this game. I think Eli is going to throw 6 INTs.

Man, you know I love you, bro, but you and the Peckerhead nation are obscenely underestimating the Giants and their defence. Did you not see what they did to Romo? If he wasn't under pressure on every play, he was certainly being touched up. Also, Eli has been more composed and analytical in the last little while, man. He doesn't have to force **** and attempt a Herculean feat in order for the Giants to stay competitive or win.


as of right now, the over at 39.5 is looking delicious to me.....deliciously foolish. It's been steadily droppin' because of the pulverizingly cold temperatures that the weather guessers are calling for......if I had any balls and conviction in this **** that I'm spewing, I'd be laying my dough on the moneyline at +315....I certainly don't like that +7.5 spread and the over/under is kinda gay lookin'..........hmmm

Dude, the Packers dropped 35 on the Giants in week 2 in the Medowlands. Since then we have actually started to run the ball. The Packers have allowed the least sacks of anyone this year, and last week Pro Bowler Patrick Kearney was turned into a spectator by our right tackle Mark Taucher. Chad Clifton will do the same thing to Osi. Don't you remember the last high profile game we had with the Giants, where Strahan was so neutralized in the last game of the season, that Brett took a dive to give Strahan his record breaking sack?

Shifty you gotta get over week 2. The Giants are NOT the same team you guys faced back than. The Cowboys beat us twice during the season.
Again underestimating the Big Blue will not be a healthy bussiness. I just hope we pull this upset and than go for the mother of all the upsets.

I see where you're coming from and I can't refute your reasoning as to why the Pack is gonna role in this one with any substantial evidence other than to say that the Giants are unbelievably hot and are flourishing just at the right time. You have to remember that they had one of the worst starts of any team this year, so that early game against the Pack isn't nearly indicative of where they are as a team right now, man.

The Packers threw on 80% of their snaps back then!!! They actually have a running back now! They aren't the same team either! We fumbled twice on our first two snaps and still blew out Seattle last week!

I'm done until we rock the G-Men.

By the way, Osi had one of the best Cribs I've ever seen on MTV.

Guys, I'm in Milwaukee, and it is ******* COLD today! Green Bay is about 100 miles north. I just heard the estimate for game time is 1 degree Fahrenheit and a wind chill of -12. Delicious.

EDIT: "He is from Mississippi, but holds a 43-5 career record in games played in temperatures of 34 degrees or lower at Lambeau."

Donald Driver!!!!!! Go! Pack! Go!

By the way, this is the third coldest game on record in NFL history. The Giants' bench is supposed to be heated, but it's "broken"

Tom Coughlin looks like he's going to get frostbite on his face.

will they get the fieldgoal??
4 seconds left?

nope..... OverTime

Missed it!

Damn, it looked like he kicked a block of cement.
