Staff picks for Falcons-Giants

BARBARA BARKERGIANTS 31, PACKERS 28

Giants peaking at the right time and have a QB who has shown he can win in bad weather in Green Bay.

JIM BAUMBACH

PACKERS 34, GIANTS 10

The comparisons to 2008 end here, as Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is simply too much for the Giants to handle.

PACKERS 20 (OT)

Lawrence Tynes' 47-yard field goal puts the Giants ahead on their first possession of overtime. The new OT rules give a clearly rusty Aaron Rodgers a shot to answer, but a Corey Webster interception clinches the victory for the visitors.

RODERICK BOONE

PACKERS 38, GIANTS 20

Greg Jennings hasn't forgotten the Giants' 2008 NFC title game victory and the Packers will ride an emotional wave to a win.

BOB GLAUBER

GIANTS 35, PACKERS 27 Giants showed they can keep up with the Packers in a narrow loss last month. With the defense playing better and the running game much improved, they have enough to get it done on the road.

KIMBERLEY A. MARTIN

GIANTS 34, PACKERS 31

Green Bay's secondary gets burned trying to make a big play, which results in Hakeem Nicks doing Aaron Rodgers' ''Discount Double Check'' move in the end zone.

TOM ROCK

GIANTS 38, PACKERS 35

The Packers rally to tie the score with under a minute left on a touchdown and two-point conversion, but Eli Manning completes four long back-shoulder passes to drive the Giants to field goal range and Lawrence Tynes kicks a game-winning 31-yarder as time expires.
