| San Francisco, CA (MySportsbook) - For the second time in five seasons, New York Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes got a chance to win the NFC Championship in overtime. He's 2-for-2.

Tynes kicked a 31-yard field goal after the 49ers fumbled a punt in overtime, lifting the Giants to a 20-17 victory on Sunday and sending them to Super Bowl XLVI to face the New England Patriots. "A classic football game," said Gian |

The other team, last year's Green Bay Packers, will not have a chance to join the New England Patriots as the only repeat Super Bowl winner since 2000 because of their 37-20 loss to the Giants this pas |
