Here’s how you can watch the Wild Card matchup between the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers on Sunday online
On Sunday Jan. 8, beginning at 4:40 p.m. ET, the Green Bay Packers will host the New York Giants. While New York technically has a better record than Green Bay, by virtue of winning the NFC North, the Pack has a home game at Lambeau Field. Such is the dilemma facing the NFL playoffs over the past few seasons.
Aaron Rodgers leads the hottest team in the NFL. After starting their season 4-6, Green Bay won its last six games to win the division. Over that time, Rodgers has thrown zero interceptions and 15 touchdown passes. He has inserted himself into the NFL MVP conversation with his incredible play down the stretch. Rodgers led the league with 40 touchdown passes and had one of his most productive seasons in terms of passing yards.
On the other side of the field, the Giants will be led by their stellar defense. It’s worth noting their offense has woken up at a very convenient time. Against the Washington Redskins, the Giants had a great rushing attack. Hopefully for them, this carries over into the playoffs.
Eli Manning is his usual unpredictable self. When he’s great, he’s one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. But when Manning’s bad, he’s outright terrible. There’s rarely a middle ground with him. Here’s all the info you need to watch Sunday’s matchup.

Expect a very close game between two teams who are quite capable of making a Super Bowl run, especially in a relatively weak NFC. However, the advantage has to be with the Packers since they are at home.
