There is at least one New York Giant who won't mind a sloppy field on Sunday.

With rain in the forecast in San Francisco, it's likely going to be less than ideal conditions for the NFC Champions Game. Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw hopes that rain could perhaps lead to a more run-oriented attack.

"We don't pay attention to conditions," Bradshaw said. "If it's a rain game, hopefully we run the ball more. Dig your cleats in and keep digging."

Bradshaw will be getting his first crack at the 49ers and their excellent rush defense, as he missed the first game with his broken foot. In that game, the Giants rushed for 93 yards on 29 carries, with Brandon Jacobs leading the way with 55 yards on the ground.

The shifty running back has been a key cog on offense for the Giants thus far in the postseason, rushing 26 times for 126 yards (4.8 yards per carry) and also catching eight passes for 43 yards. He hasn't reached the end zone, but has been a big reason why the Giants are averaging 133.5 yards on the ground per game.

The Giants will surely be tested against a San Francisco defense which ranked first in the NFL this season, allowing just 77.3 rushing yards per game. The 49ers held the Saints to just 37 rushing yards in their 36-32 win last Saturday.

"They're a great defense," Bradshaw said. "We have to stick to our game plan, we got a lot to handle linebackers-wise, they're great linebackers. They got a great (defensive backs) core. All I can do is go play my game. We've got a great plan going into the game, I think we'll be fine."

The running back added that his team has a lot of confidence heading into this game, and believes that playing the 49ers once already will help the team. This will be Bradshaw's second time playing in an NFC Championship Game.

"We played them, we got a lot of stuff on film and I just let the coaches handle what our game plan is going to be," Bradshaw said. "If we execute, we'll be fine."
