The New York Giants against the Green Bay Packers in a playoff game at Lambeau Field— a grouping of words which, over the last nine years, bring good vibes to Giants fans. Twice since 2008 the two teams have met for a playoff game at Lambeau, both times the Giants came away with season-extending victories and went on to win Super Bowl titles.
The same story lines that carried into those meetings are applicable this Sunday. The Packers won the regular-season meeting, just as they did in 2007 and 2011, and are arguably the hottest team in the NFL at the moment, as they were then.
