| Giants | Category | Packers | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Offense | checked | The Packers have an explosive running game; one that's hard to take away when you consider their talented passing attack. | |
| Defense | checked | With Harris and Woodson healthy plus hard-hitting safeties, this is the best secondary in the league. | |
| Special teams | checked | The Packers didn't kick any FGs on Saturday, but you have to favor their experience in playing in really bad weather. | |
| checked | Coaching | Tom Coughlin has this team playing extremely well and believing that it should be in the Super Bowl. | |
| Intangibles | checked | How will the Giants handle bad weather? Late in the season, Manning really struggled in nasty conditions. | |
| Wild card | checked | Can Strahan and Co. do what the Seahawks didn't – make life uncomfortable for Favre? |
