GB -9? Is this line for real?

I took this play early. NYG +9 over GB. This line is an absolute gift. Giants defense has been playing much better. I do not see the Packers winning this one by more than 1 score, if at all.

f, I thought it was gonna be 10.5

gb off the bye week vs giants secondary seems like a bad combo

i also thought the falcons would beat the giants today but the fact that gb played the giants helps the packers being at home more then it does the giants, which everyone is kinda saying

gl with what ever you play

Yes, cause that would mean they are the team that had the bye, and GB is the team that played in the wildcard round.

??!! giants were a 6.5 dog AT HOME a few weeks ago, gotta expect them to get at least 3 more on the road, plus factor in the bye and I'm shocked it isn't 10+.

you are nuts to have expected such a low line for the 15-1 packers who have the highest scoring offense in the nfl and the mvp of the league in rodgers, not to mention the whole mystique of lambeau field in the playoffs.

Yes, they were 6.5 dogs last time, but only lost by 3 and some would say they outplayed GB in that game and should have won, therefore maybe that 6.5 point line was a bit inflated and should have been lower. Giants are healthier now(especially defensively) also. I agree, Mind thinking it should be 3 or 4 is ridiculous, but I thought it would be 7 at the most...

That was back in week 13, and the Giants weren't playing as well. Even still, after that result (Packers squeaked by with a win), this divisional round line seemingly doesn't take it into account.

Lambeau mystique? Last I checked, the Giants won in Lambeau in the playoffs 3 years ago.

Maybe, but mark my words. I'm predicting a Giants victory next week in Lambeau. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they blow them out. Yes, blow them out.

It is up to 10 at some shops. No big surprise here. Joe Pub gets suckered in again. Here comes a middle.

Pats were -12 when the Giants took them down after losing to them during the season.

Giants should of beat the pack this year. Gonna be a good game.
