NFL: NFC Championship Game Preview

New York Giants (10-6)

Green Bay Packers (13-3)

As fate would have it, the Green Bay Packers are playing out of this world and much of it has to do with the play of Brett Favre. For many years now, people have questioned his decision to continue playing and made reference to the fact that it only hurt the franchise in the long run but I think those same critics are pretty hush mouthed right about now. Those same Packers are on the doorstep to the Super Bowl and the only thing standing in their way is the New York Giants.

To be honest, a lot of people aren’t giving New York a real chance to win this game considering what the conditions are going to be like this weekend in Green Bay but records speak for themselves. The Giants have only lost one game on the road all year (including the playoffs) and that is the sole reason why they have a shot to win this game. Weather won’t be much of an advantage to either team and it will come down to who can execute better but it’s a toss up for me either way. I’m not a fan of either team and all bias aside, I guess I have to pick the team that would make for an entertaining Super Bowl. So, with that said, I’m taking the Green Bay Packers in a close one. Brett Favre deserves it after the season he’s had but shout out to Eli for silencing his critics. His time to shine will come but this year belongs to Brett.

Final Score: New York 14, Green Bay 24
