Squares are yapping about how Green Bay is done and how much hotter Washington is, yada, yada. Sharps know that teams enter playoffs on two-game or more losing steak 11-4 against the spread, 10-3 when opponent is off win.

Another angle says go with colder team based on last six games is 65-37 favors GB. Teams entering postseason having lost at least 6-of-10 and opponent off win are 3-0 all-time against the spread.

So the Giants last two Super Bowls notwithstanding, the belief that teams need to be hot entering the playoffs does not stand up factually. Washington is on the playoffs literally because someone has to win the NFC East. Packers 2nd toughest strength of schedule in NFL compared to Redskins 23rd so feel free to count out Aaron Rodgers at your own risk.

Look for underachieving Eddie Lacey to get this wakeup call and explode here.
