The Cold Hard Truth! NFC Edition

Well football fans, this weekend is going to prove who the real men are. The New York Football Giants rolled into Dallas and showed them who the real men are. A team that can somehow just dominate on the road stood up and took their shots and in the end won the game. NY won because of Eli and Strahan. They did it without Tiki, which makes me a happy man. Eli has shown some kind of confidence on the road that is so unheard of. Before this year the fans, the experts, and the Giants front office must have been wondering if they made the right move to trade Phillip Rivers for Eli. But now, they sit one game away from the super bowl and have only Brett Favre to go through to get there.
We can Break down both teams, their offense, defense, special teams. We can do that all we want, but the cold hard truth is that weather and the identity of the QB on that day will win the game. Brett Favre could throw 5 touchdowns, but he could also throw 5 picks. Eli could do the same thing. No one knows. I would love to sit here and say that Jesus Favre will earn an NFC championship ring and send the Giants on their way. But who knows.
What I do know:
It will be zero degrees come kick off time. ZERO! The Packers have home field, but you can not be ready for zero degrees. So throw out the advantage.
I also know that all the experts are picking the Packers to win. ESPN.com's so called "experts" are straight across Packers picks. Their Pregame show analysts are all Packers picks. So advantage Pack right? Wrong...
The Giants played in the toughest division in the NFC. They won on the road when most teams buckle. Now 9-1 on the road through the playoffs after taking out the Boys and the Bucs. Coughlin has rallied his team to impressive wins in both playoff games.
I know that this Eli Vs Jesus aka Favre will not be the real story line. This game will come down to Brandon Jacobs Vs Ryan Grant and Special Teams. The Giants will also not allow Ryan Grant to run for 200 yards. They will also not allow him to fumble the ball twice in the 1st quarter and still win the game.
Lastly, the game will come down to turnovers. And this is how I will pick the game. Green Bay is plus 4 for the year in Giveaways and takeaways, while the Giants are -9. The Pack are clear favorites, but the playoffs have shown this new NY team. The Giants are protecting the ball and creating turnovers. They have 3 picks and 1 recovered fumble leaving them plus 4 in the 2 playoff games. The Pack was negative 1 against Seattle last week and that will not win this game.

The PICK: Brett Favre throws 3 td's and Grant runs for 1. Favre turns the ball over once but Grant will not. Eli plays well but the biggest game of his career proves to be just a little too much for him as he does not throw a td. The Giants end up losing this one 34-27. What a game but the NFL gets what they want with Favre playing in the super bowl.

oh yea and by the way. Tiki Barber sucks... Why don't you talk some more shit on Tom Coughlin and Eli now that the Giants are winning without you! God's way of punishing you is putting you next to the Bus and Collinsworth every week. A personal hell no man should have to deal with.
