The Giants came good at the end of the regular season to edge out the Cowboys for the NFC East Crown. They will be a dangerous foe in the postseason, lead by Eli Manning who had another stellar season, and there are many similarities between this year and their 2007 Super Bowl run.

New York will be full of confidence for the first ever playoff game at the MetLife Stadium but they have been somewhat below par at home going just 4-4. They have a strong passing game with Manning and the emergence of wide receiver Victor Cruz who has been dominant, but they have the league's worst rushing game which can leave them a little one dimensional at times. They will also have to improve on defence in order to progress against a lethal Falcons offense.

The Falcons will return to the postseason with a 10-6 mark, one year removed from entering as number 1 seed only to be humbled by eventual champions Green Bay. They have a more balanced attack than they Giants but will have to have a huge task to stop the Giants passing game, if their defence plays like it has done as the 29th ranked in the league then Eli Manning will be able to pick off the passes and run up the score.

Atlanta have the ability to cause an upset, especially if Matt Ryan can find Roddy White and Julio Jones with the consistency he did during the regular season. The Falcons are three point outsiders on the spread but have the ability to beat the Giants defence. The difference maker should be Manning, the Pro Bowl quarterback showed just how dangerous he can be pulling apart the Cowboys and he should lead the Giants through in a high scoring battle. The over 47 points looks a good bet at 10/11 and also for the game to be the highest scoring of the weekend at 2/1 looks a possibility too.

Recommended Bets:

Match Odds: Atlanta Falcons (13/10), New York Giants (4/6)

Best Bet: 1st scoring play - New York Giants touchdown @ 13/8

Worth a Punt: Victor Cruz first touchdown @ 7/1
