3. I'm guessing the results will be the same as the last time the Packers and the Giants
met in a championship game:

Packers 16, N.Y. Giants 7
1962 NFL Championship
Dec. 30 at Yankee Stadium, New York

In a raw, cyclonic setting (13-degree temperatures and 40-mile-per-hour winds), the Packers led the entire game, a primitive, hand-to-hand struggle. Ray Nitschke, the game's eventual MVP, proved the principal frustration to New York, seeking redemption for a shutout humiliation in the '61 title game. Early in the contest, Nitschke deflected a Giants pass, triggering an interception that blunted the drive at the Green Bay 10. The linebacker also recovered two fumbles, one that led to the Packers' only touchdown, and another that set up a 29-yard Jerry Kramer field goal, whose trio of three-pointers provided the eventual margin.

The Giants' only TD came after blocking a Max McGee punt in the Green Bay end zone, midway through the third quarter.

A battered Jim Taylor, engaged in a fierce battle with New York's Sam Huff, set a (then) playoff record with 31 rushing attempts, good for 85 yards.

GB - FG J.Kramer 26
GB - Taylor 7 run (J.Kramer kick)
NY - Collier blocked punt recovery in end zone (Chandler kick)
GB - FG J.Kramer 29
GB - FG J.Kramer 30
