THG is making the NFL playoffs as simple as can be. By breaking down the most important aspects of this weekend’s second round playoff games, we already know:
- The New Orleans Saints will beat the San Francisco 49ers.
- The New England Patriots will destroy the Denver Broncos.
- The Baltimore Ravens will prevail over the Houston Texans.
Now, let’s finish off the quartet by forecasting the Green Bay Packers vs. the New York Giants…

EMBARRASSING ACTION BY EX-STAR:

THE VERDICT: Sorry, Giants fans. While a common upset choice, New York simply doesn’t have what it takes to hang with Green Bay, failing to win a single category and only pulling out a couple ties due to Bon Jovi and a wide receiver who spent time in jail. The Packers take this one, 3-0-2.
WHO DO YOU THINK WILL WIN?
