Undefeated teams in December + New York Giants = ???

Well it's that time of the year again, if you're a Giants fans, the feeling of "here we go again" comes around. However Giants fans I will deliver some facts for you to ponder about as your Giants prepare to face the NFL's best team in 2011: the Green Bay Packers. But this isn't the first time that a team who is trying its might at history, has faced a Giants team who's fighting for a playoff spot at the Meadowlands. Remember the 1998 Denver Broncos and the 2007 New England Patriots as examples of what can happen this weekend. One good, one bad, but where will the Packers fate go on Sunday?

Fact #1 - 1998 Broncos 13-0 going into the Meadowlands

The Broncos we're going into this game as favorites against the Giants, who had nothing to play for and was just waiting to end the season. Going to Giants Stadium, I am sure the Denver Broncos, let alone the whole country, wasn't expecting nothing less than the Giants winning on the road. Kent Graham game-winning drive against the King of all comebacks, John Elway, helped the Giants defeat the Broncos on that very weird December afternoon at the Meadowlands. End Result: 13-1

Fact #2 - 2007 Patriots 15-0 going to the Meadowlands

The Patriots had came into this game needing one more victory to become the 2nd NFL team in history to go perfect in the regular season. The Giants gave the Pats all they could, but at the end the Patriots were too much for the Giants on that cold December night at the Meadowlands. However, this may have come at a cost. The Patriots may have showed too much to the Giants, as they lost the the same team 4 weeks later in the Super Bowl. End Result: 16-0 (However a few short weeks later the Giants got the Patriots back in Super Bowl 42.)

Which lead me to this week's opponent: 2011 Packers 11-0. 

Well if the Giants need a win, this would be the best week to get it considering that they have a huge divisional showdown in Dallas after this game. The Packers come into this game as hot as the other two teams did, so can the Giants find a way to stop history for a 3rd time? Most would say that this is the only chance the 2011 Packers have at losing this season, as the same was said in '98 and '07. With the Packers playing a schedule that would favor history, the Giants are fighting for their playoff and division chances for 2011. Not to mention a possible coaching change if they don't make the playoffs. One thing about the Giants under Coughlin is that they usually stand up to challenges like this, so to say that they can't win this game is playing into the Giants hands.

End Result: 12-0 or 11-1??? If you doubt the Giants ability to stop history, just ask the 98 Broncos and the 07 Patriots........history could be in trouble this December weekend at the Meadowlands.
