The Divisional Playoffs continue on Sunday when the New York Giants travel to Wisconsin to take on the Green bay Packers.  The game is scheduled for a 4:30 pm start and it will be televised nationally on FOX. Currently the odds have the the Packers favored by 7.5 points with the total sitting at 53 points.  

Free Analysis: Green Bay also got the better of New York in a late-season meeting held at MetLife Stadium back on Dec. 4, outlasting the Giants in a 38-35 thriller that featured five lead changes and a combined 716 passing yards and seven touchdowns from all-star quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Eli Manning.That hard-earned triumph helped the powerful Packers claim the coveted top seed for the conference playoffs and set up the club's first postseason contest at home since the 2007 NFC Championship, in which the Giants foiled what turned out to be Brett Favre's final appearance in a Green Bay uniform by coming through with a 23-20 overtime decision. Green Bay will have heavy hearts heading into Sunday's home meeting with the Giants after the tragic death earlier this week of offensive coordinator Joe Philbin's son. His body was recovered from the Fox River by divers on Monday, and preliminary autopsy results showed that the younger Philbin drowned. The Giants have expressed their best wishes to Philbin and the Packers. New York has permitted just 30 points during the three-game tear and comes into Sunday's tilt with no shortage of swagger, as illustrated by All-Pro defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul's bold guarantee of a win this weekend. The Giants (10-7) will be trying to exploit a Green Bay defense that ranked last in the NFL in the regular season, although the unit produced a league-high 31 interceptions. A New York offense that's relied extensively upon the strong right arm of Manning (4933 passing yards, 29 TD, 16 INT) has displayed far more balance during the stretch run, and the team had its inconsistent running game operating at maximum efficiency in last week's big win over Atlanta. The diverse backfield duo of 264-pound punisher Brandon Jacobs (571 rushing yards, 15 receptions, 8 total TD) and slasher Ahmad Bradshaw (659 rushing yards, 34 receptions, 11 total TD) combined for 155 yards on 28 carries as the Giants wore down the Falcons.  New York is 8-0 this season when eclipsing 100 rushing yards in a game and extremely difficult to defend when it can move the chains on the ground with regularity. The Giants defense had its problems this year, but down the stretch they have been very solid as they have allowed just 10 ppg and 292.7 ypg in their last 3 games. While the Packers possess one of the NFL's most lethal aerial attacks, the Giants counter with a fierce pass rush that accounted for 48 sacks (tied 3rd overall) during the regular season and has been especially formidable as of late. New York has also racked up 13 sacks during its current winning run. Rodgers, 2-0 against the Giants, threw for 45 TDs and 4,643 yards with six interceptions and an NFL-record 122.5 passer rating this season and he will be throwing to a solid corp of WR's , led by Jordy Nelson and his 68 catches for 1263 yards and 15 TD's. James Starks (578) leads a weak ground game that is 27th in the league. Moving the football hasn't been much of an issue for teams facing a Green Bay defense that permitted league worsts of 299.8 passing yards and 411.6 total yards per game over the course of the regular season, and the Giants gained 447 yards in last month's see-saw affair. McCarthy has compiled a 5-2 record in the postseason, while Coughlin upped his career playoff mark to 9-7 with last Sunday's verdict and is 5-3 in such games while with the Giants.

Free Pick: Gonna look to the Over in this one. The Giant defense has been super down the stretch as they have allowed just 10 ppg in their last 3 games, but 2 of those games were at home and today they are on the road where they have allowed 26.9 ppg on 396.4. Today they face a tough task as the Packers have averaged 40.1 ppg and 417.9 ypg at home this year. The Packers defense finished the year last in the league in both total yards (411.6 ypg) and passing yards (299.8 ypg) and it got worse down the stretch as they allowed 484.7 ypg overall and 347.7 ypg passing in their last 3 games. The Packers have also allowed 27 ppg in that stretch. The Giants put up 447 yards on the Pack in their earlier meeting and they come in putting up 28 ppg and 403.7 ypg in their last 3 games, so they should have another big day vs this weak Packers defense here. This will be a shootout just like the earlier matchup, which will give us a comfortable play on the OVER here.
