The New York Giants will be facing the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. What are three keys to defeating the Packers?

The marquee matchup of the Wild Card weekend is the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers game. Both the Giants and Packers have been playing well heading into the playoffs, and many believe the winner of this game could advance far in the NFC.

This matchup will be a classic matchup of a great defense against a great offense. After spending a lot of money this offseason, the Giants have one of the best defenses in the NFL. They really excel at stopping the run, but their secondary is also filled with talented players. Against the Packers, they will need all of those talented players on defense to shine.

For the Packers, their formula to winning is on the shoulders of Aaron Rodgers. As one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, Rodgers is capable of beating any team in the NFL. Also, he can light up even the greatest of defenses.

The real determining factor in this game might come down to what the Giants offense can do. Despite having a lot of talent, the Giants offense has been a disappointment throughout the season. The Packers defense doesn’t put much fear in anyone, but the Giants offense has shown no signs of coming alive.

While Sunday should be a great game, here are three keys to the game for the Giants if they hope to pull off an upset win.
