The highest-trafficked non-Texas city is NY (just 2 percent of visits), which makes sense considering a Giants win over the Packers, combined with a Lions loss at Seattle in this weekend’s NFC wild-card games would send the Giants to Dallas.

The New York Giants will play the Green Bay Packers in an NFL Wild Card game on Sunday, start time at 4:40 PM ET, at Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The Dallas Cowboys’ regular season could not have gone much better.
Ultimately, the third dance between Dallas and the Giants may hinge on the Giants winning their third playoff game in nine years at Lambeau Field.
Earlier this year, the Packers beat up the Giants at home. When it all came together, they destroyed the Eagles on the road, smothered the division-winning Texans and Seahawks at home and took care of business in three consecutive divisional games to wrap up the regular season.
Some might say that any quarterback or running back could be a star playing behind the Dallas Cowboys’ offensive line.
For the Giants’ defense, locking down Green Bay’s wide receivers is only half the battle. With so many cornerbacks injured, Green Bay must be able to make the Giants offense one-dimensional. The remarkable 21-year old rookie led the National Football League in rushing this season despite not even being in uniform this past weekend against Philadelphia! In 12 games, he tossed 28 touchdowns compared to only two interceptions, with 3,554 passing yards (only about 114 yards short of Dak Prescott’s 16-game total, to put that in perspective). He only threw 7 interceptions this season and had a quarterback rating of 104.2.
The NFC playoff picture is set for the 2016 NFL Playoffs.
While the Cowboys would never admit that they “want” one of their potential opponents over the other two, the Lions present the clearest path to victory.
Yesterday we looked at the New York Giants and the obvious concern they raise. The same applies to Zenner’s receiving ability: six catches for 66 yards across the two games, but still the touches decreased as the game went on. Surgically accurate. And if the Cowboys face them again you can bet it will be a completely different game – a shootout.
What’s your power rankings for teams that are good/bad matchups for Cowboys in playoffs? I sat there with my friends, a few die hard cheeseheads, and actually had the audacity to doubt Aaron Rogers since even they were wondering if their guy had lost whatever made him so great in the years prior.
What should the Packers expect from the Giants this week?

NY may have the better record than the Giants, but NY did not win its division. Will history repeat itself?
