3. Stop the run

The Giants defense has been great against the run all year as they are tied for third in rushing defense giving up just 88.6 yards per game. The Packers are 20th and rushing offense, but have had success as of late running the ball with Ty Montgomery. If the Giants can shut down Montgomery and the Packers running game and keep them one dimensional, the Giants will win the game.
