The Giants have not looked particularly good in their last couple games and are coming off a bye. They're a dangerous team, especially given their defensive front and the Packers struggles on the offensive line.
Here are the 6-4 Giants to date:

We need to give some recognition to the good to great job being done by the defense against opposing QBs. For the season thus far:

Total 217 389 2660 33 216 14 12 55.78% 6.84 76.21
Alex Smith significantly over performed while Drew Brees, Andrew Luck and Sam Bradford all slightly over performed their season averages. Otherwise, not so much, sometimes by a lot. If they can keep Eli in a funk this week it will surely help matters.
The Packers are ranked second in sacks at 33, behind Denver and just ahead of Cincinnati.
The Dope Sheet says the Packers are first in the league in rushing yards allowed per game since the 4th game (after getting gashed in the first three). I'll take their word for it because I'm not going digging for that information.
Sunday night should be quite a battle.
