NFC Championship Preview


The story here will be the weather. Call it global warming or just a normal upper Midwest winter but at game time it will be right at zero degree in Green Bay as the Giants take on the Packers. If the wind picks up it will feel much colder. How the team cope with the weather will decide the game. Green Bay is no stranger to the cold. The Giants haven't played in the weather like the Packers did last week and the last few weeks of the season.

The Giants have the offense that could be successful if the wind is an issue because of Brandon Jacobs and his punishing running style. But Favre is always a factor because his ability to improvise on the run always give the Packers a chance. The Giants have the unproven Eli Manning who has the look of a loser. He doesn't carry himself like a confident NFL QB. I have no faith that Eli will lead the Giants to a win.

My pick: Green Bay by 10. The weather -15
