NFL Playoffs: NFC Championship Green Bay Packers vs New York Giants

January 20, 2008

Last year around this time, everyone was wondering whether or not future NFL hall of famer Brett Favre should retire, most people said he should hang them up and go out as one of the toughest, passionate quarterbacks all-time, but man how he has proved everyone wrong leading his Green Bay Packers one game away from his third Super Bowl appearance.

Earlier in the NFL season, it was projected that Green Bay and the Dallas Cowboys would almost certainly be playing in the NFC Championship game, but with the impressive play by Eli Manning and his tenacious defense, the Giants are surprising everyone on their road to the Super Bowl.

Green Bay will be the obvious favorite to win Sunday’s game at a really, really cold Lambeau Field, but New York has been somewhat of an ultimate underdog by being underestimated the entire season from coach Tom Coughlin on the hot seat to questions on whether Eli could lead this team to the promise land, so you can never count these boys out, but with Brett Favre playing the best football maybe ever, it will be either an all out battle between these NFC powerhouses or a blowout much like Green Bay’s last game against the Seattle Seahawks last weekend.
