In the first round of the NFC playoffs, the New York Giants will visit the Minnesota Vikings in a rematch of a regular season matchup. Minnesota narrowly escaped with a win over the Giants earlier in the year, and the Giants will look for revenge to advance to the Divisional round. In our NFL betting picks for Super Wild Card Weekend, we break down this Giants vs Vikings matchup in Minnesota.

Giants vs Vikings Betting Pick

This game will be played at US Bank Stadium, with the date and time to be determined.

Why Bet the Vikings:

Minnesota already beat the Giants at home already this season, winning 27-24 in their December matchup. Justin Jefferson had 12 catches for 133 yards and a score in that game, and the Giants’ inability to stop elite receivers will be a factor again here.

It is also worth noting that Saquon Barkley had 84 rushing yards in that regular season matchup. However, he only had 57 yards on the ground until breaking a late touchdown run that gave the Giants a cover, but not a win.

Minnesota is 8-1 at home so far this season, and have been great in one-score games, which this game could end up being.

New York Giants

The New York Giants had nothing to play for in Week 18, opting to close out the regular season by resting several key starters. Davis Webb led the offense at quarterback, in a game the Giants lost by one possession to the Philadelphia Eagles, who locked up the NFC East title and number one seed in the NFC as a result. Now, the Giants will put their starters back into action in hopes of taking down the third-seeded Vikings.

For the Giants, there are two major questions to answer in this game. First, can they generate enough offense with Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley to compete in this game? Second, can they slow down Justin Jefferson enough to make this game more difficult on the Vikings than they did the last time these teams met?

Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings beat the Chicago Bears in Week 18 of the regular season. While that win did not help the Vikings move up to the second seed in the NFC, it did give the Vikings something positive to go into the postseason with. Now, the Vikings host the Giants for the second time this season, hoping to improve on their near-perfect record at US Bank Stadium.

Minnesota is an incredible 8-1 at home this season, a record that has included memorable wins over teams like the Packers and an historic comeback over the Colts. To move to 9-1 at home on the season, Minnesota will need to win the turnover battle over the Giants again, as they won that facet of the game by a 2-0 margin over the Giants in December.
