Two teams that fans love to root for to beat the Patriots, but only one of them will survive. You might even hear the argument from some folks that the winner of this game wins it all.

But that’s not necessarily true.

New York has been the only kryptonite to phase the Dallas Cowboys this season, exposing them for what they are when up against a truly elite defense.

Outside of the Giants, Dak Prescott hasn’t had noticeable discomfort and other issues, as he’s lost twice to them already.

Green Bay, on the other hand, comes into the game winners of six straight, division champs, and a chance to win in front of their home crowd.

Additionally, Aaron Rodgers could see the Falcons or Cowboys with a win, setting up a highly-anticipated match up between teams that don’t like each other.

The New York defense is where the problems begin for Green Bay. Not everyone was able to stay healthy all season, and all it takes is one mental mistake against the Giants for them to make you pay.

If they can get into Rodgers’ head, Eli Manning will have a much easier time getting the other offense rolling.

Finally, Odell Beckham Jr. will be a factor, but not the deciding one.

This game will be more of a grind out to the last play.

Prediction:

31. Final. 10. 49. 13
