MR. LANG'S ANALYSIS
I just can't back TJ Yates in this spot in as hostile enviornment as you will ever see.
Let's get past the home victory over the Bengals for their first playoff win in the team's history. Congrats.
However, if Matt Schaub can't go in here and stay within single digits regardless of how close the game was in the 4th quarter, then a rookie isn't going to either.
All I've heard is Adrian Foster this and Adrian Foster that but this game will fall into the hands of Yates against the Ravens defense.
This team in this stadium on this day hosting a home playoff game for the first time in years is to much to overcome for a rookie QB.
How soon we forget their loss at winless Indy. How bad Yates looked. How they couldn't get it into the endzone.
This game will be close for awhile but I just believe it's going to be the relentless pressure of this Ravens defense against a rookie QB that will eventually do them in.
It's a big number. It's risen. However, a double digit win is there for the taking with the rested Ravens defense.
The bottom line is this: If T.J Yates plays error free football for 60 minutes and keeps this a single digit game so be it. I will move on and get ready for the conference championship games next week.
For my dollar, I just don't see it. Not today. Not against this defense. Not in this stadium.
The Ravens are 4-1 ATS last 5 as a playoff favorite and on the flip side the Texans are 1-4 ATS last 5 meetings versus this Ravens bunch and that was with Matt Schaub.
All home team by double digits early this afternoon.
MR. LANG'S ANALYSIS
I just don't see them losing this game.
It's been a great run for the Giants. Great run. Huge run.
However, on this day against this offense and this secondary, playing man to man defense they can't match up for 60 minutes.
Will Eli make plays? Sure he will but it won't be enough to match Aaron Rogers at home.
This is a Green Bay team that is averaging over 30 points a game at home and I have no doubt they will get over 30 at home today.
The only question I have is can the Giants get me over 20 against this defense today. I believe they can.
With this line and the Giants offense being pretty darn good I am not messing with a backdoor as we have seen multiple times during the season and the playoffs in years past.
But at the end of the day I just don't see Eli outplaying Rogers in Lambeau. Not today. Not ever.
And with 2 weeks to get ready for the Giants front 4 I believe the Packers will attack where the Giants are most vulnerable. Linebacking corp.
Let's take the Packers down to just winning, call for a high scoring game and be done with it and not have to sweat the 4th quarter.
Home team rolls in this one late this afternoon.

Guest handicapper Mr. Stu "The Source" Feiner reports in. He had the 49ers winning outright, well, yeah. For $100,000 you can buy his parlay. To save you from PayPal hassles, he has a parlay on the Green Bay Packers and the Baltimore Ravens. Now that we know his big parlay is on Baltimore and Green Bay, we feel better about our Texans + 7 1/2 bet! Check out Stuies video blog. Stu, you are a funny guy, too bad neither of your picks covered. Stu: Parlays are for losers:

Guest handicapper Al "The Hook" DeMarco checks in. The Hook has the Baltimore Ravens and as usual buy the half point (the hook) to get the play to Ravens - 7. Good thing his customers got the hook for the push, but wouldn't it be better if he had the winning side for a win without buying a point?

Guest handicapper Steve "No Clue" Budin checks in from here in Las Vegas. Mr. Budin had a 100 Dime Teaser on the Ravens and Packers. Stevo, I hope you did not actually bet that! His last 100 dime bet was on LSU +2 1/2 over Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game. That bet lost too:
