EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Forecasters predict cloudy skies but light wind Sunday when the New York Giants face the Minnesota Vikings for the NFC Championship.

Meteorologist Bill Goodman of the National Weather Service in Mount Holly said Friday he expects clouds and temperature in the 43- to 47-degree range throughout the game, which kickoffs at 12:30 p.m.

Goodman expects winds from the southwest of about 5 mph.

"It's good game weather," he said. "It wouldn't give anyone a real advantage, plus the stadium is sheltered from all sides."

A Giants fan, Goodman said he expects his team to pull out with a tight victory. They "need more offense, then I would feel more confident," he said.

He expects rain after 6 p.m. Sunday.
