I’m kind of a Giants hater.

What can I say? I’m a product of my environment. See, I went to college (and currently live) in upstate New York. This means that I know a lot of Giants fans. On Sundays we used to sit in our room and listen to the Giants fans in the hall freak out whenever the Giants would blow a game – and they blew a lot of games. My friend and I would sit in our room watching it all unravel on television and silently pump our fists as the Giants lost. It was incredibly fun.

That being said, I don’t really hate the Giants this season. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I really dislike Tony Romo and I’m glad I wasn’t subjected to another week of his stupid face. I don’t know.

Bad news for the Giants though – The Packers are really good. When Brett Favre said all those months ago that this was the most talented Packers team he’d ever been on, maybe we should have listened. The guy knows what he’s talking about. He has been in the league since the merger.

Did you know Ryan Grant started the season with the Giants? He did. I looked it up. On the internet. Grant probably won’t have a replay of last week’s performance, but as long as the Packers give him the rock he should find success again.

Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw might have some problems though. The Packers have the number 1 rushing defense in the playoffs and with the frigid conditions Eli might not be able to throw down field to set up the run.

Brett Favre on the other hand was born on the dark side of the moon in a blizzard – the man lives in Green Bay and he sleeps with the windows open. Favre has a chance to return to the Super Bowl and all that stands in his way is Eli Manning and the New York Giants. So he’s got that going for him – which is nice.

Final Score?

Packers 27, Giants 22

I’m off to the bar to root against the Giants. See you (down in the comments) later.
