Officially, this is an NFC wild-card playoff game featuring a No. 4 seed (the Packers) and a No. 5 seed (the Giants), and in the past, such a matchup could be dismissed as early postseason fodder. Not this time.
This is a big-time matchup with one especially appetizing confrontation looming: Aaron Rodgers and his high-flying passing attack going against the surging and talented Giants secondary. It is a battle worthy of a Super Bowl confrontation and the way it swings likely will determine which team moves on.
The Packers own the unofficial designation as The Team No One Wants To Play.
