The Packers opened as 3.5-point favorites over the Giants in next Sunday's Wild Card round matchup (4:40 p.m., FOX). The line is warranted because the Packers are home, have won six straight games, beat the Giants earlier this season and are led by brilliant quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
But the Giants were bigger underdogs in both the 2007 and 2011 playoffs when they went into Lambeau Field and upset the Packers en route to Super Bowl titles. If you're looking for a reason why the Giants pull off the playoff hat trick at Lambeau, start in their defensive backfield.
