will stay with 28-17. Jones, saquon, the wrs/TE, and D make plays and carry us to a victory - and get 2-3 turnovers and keep everything in front of us; and a few sacks.
This game can go either way. I think that the two best skill players on the field are gonna stand out: Jefferson and Saquon. I think Jefferson gets it done in OT against our DBs. The matchup is just too much to ignore, especially with Wink's blitzing style of D. Adoree and McKinney will help the Giants immensely, but I think with this bein indoors and in Minny, that our OL will struggle a bit--particularly Neal, who's banged up. The Giants' Special Teams scare me in this game too, especially our punter and punt returner.
The Vikes' OL is banged up and I think Sexy Dexy and Leo are gonna fest on them, especially Sexy Dexy. KT is rounding out into form and Ojulari is back. Cook worries me though and the Vikes going to a quick passing gam to set up deep shots to JJ is what I think will happen. Landon Collins might have himself a game this week, but I wonder if it'll be enough against Hockenson, who killed he Giants when they last played three weeks ago in Minny.
All in all, out of all of these matchups, this is the game of the week to me. I give the Giants' coaching staff the edge, but the homefield in Minny will make a difference IMO. The Vikes prolly are gonna feel motivated because of all of the disrespect they're getting in the meia. They went 13-4, wich is nothing to sneeze at. The Giants have a 3-6-1 record in their last 10 games, with those three victories coming against the Texans at home, the colts at home, and the Foreskins on the road. The Giants are NOT some awakening juggernaut.
I think the odds of this game favor the Vikes (55/45). If the Giants can limit the Vikngs' strengths, they have a good chance to win. I just don't think the secondary will hold up enough against JJ and that Cook will have some big plays too. DJ, Barkley, and AT will be there all day on offense though. I just think the troika of JJ, Hockenson, and Cook will be too much to overcome. I think it'll be anybody's game in the 4th quarter. The Giants can't afford to behind by more than a score though. That would change their approach entirely and probably result in turnovers. The Giants' D needs to force some too in order to win, especially on the road against such a high-powered opponent.
Lots of detail in your prediction, but I can guarantee that the Vikings will not win by 4 points in Overtime.
Betting nugget: New York was a league-best 13-4 against the spread this season, including 7-1 against the spread on the road. New York has covered four straight games -- and four straight road games.
1. The Giants are healthier than they were a few weeks ago.
2. It’s hard to beat the same team twice in the span of a few weeks.
3. The Giants are due to win a playoff game. They’ve been so all or nothing in their recent playoff appearances.
With that said, the Vikings are the best team in the NFL winning close games. So the Giants need to come out and play crisp, jump out to a lead and control the game.
Is our destiny? Then probably get ousted by San Francisco but it’s lining up perfectly to take out the birds
I try not to get ahead of myself but my mind has wandered to that scenario. Tomorrow will be a very tough game though.
I often believe that in order to overcome a long stretch of losing to a team, you need to do it in dramatic fashion to break the hex. The Giants haven’t won in Philly since *2013*! In order to get out of this funk it will require something big, like knocking them off on the road in the divisional.
Thanks I appreciate that
Gano with a last possession game winner leaving too little time for Minnesota to have a chance to retaliate.

However, tomorrow will be tough enough.
DJ
425 yds passing (mainly short passes that go the distance)
3 TDs passing with 2 10+ yd rushing TDs, 1 int
KT
2.5 sacks, 2 FF
42 - 28. GEEEEE MEN.
Giants 26
Vikings 24
I predict the Vikings to start with a 7-0 lead but lose momentum to a costly turnover. Giants take advantage. Ballgame.
