Interesting thought here...was talking to a buddy this week and he was saying the Giants are "so underrated, they're overrated." I see in the Giants a team that does the same thing every year. Come out of the door like gangbusters, lose in the mid season to Pop Warner teams, then win a few and get into the playoffs, and are dangerous.
Defense is superb, offense is well balanced.
That said, I think people are forgetting how good Rodgers is.
Furthermore, this will be a microcosm as to what "wins" in the NFL. Offense or Defense. It's no secret the league wants O to win. Pack, Saints, Pats....vs. 49ers, Gints, Texans, Ravens. We'll see.
Good luck with your wager my friend.
Stay thirsty.
