The Vikings were the most profitable over team to back this season, as 11 of their 17 games cleared the total. Seven of their nine home games went over, including their first meeting with New York.
Minnesota’s propensity to play high scoring games is the direct result of a disappointing defense. Only the Titans allowed more passing yards than the Vikings this season, while Minnesota ranked tied for 30th in points allowed.
Daniel Jones shredded them for 334 yards in Week 16, and is an excellent bet to clear over 241.5 passing yards in the Giants vs Vikings player props.
New York was just 7-9-1 to the over this season, but both of the games they played indoors did eclipse the total.
Giants vs Vikings Moneyline Splits
As far as the moneyline market goes, the ticket count favors Minnesota, but more money is on New York. The Giants are drawing 55% of the moneyline handle as +135 ‘dogs, as most bettors clearly view this Vikings team as vulnerable.
New York has won 13 of its 21 playoff games outright as underdogs, while Kirk Cousins led teams are just 1-3 all-time in the postseason. Cousins has averaged only 193.5 yards during those four games and less than one touchdown pass per start.
His woeful 12-18 primetime record is well documented, and while this contest may not take place under the lights, it is an island game that will draw the eyes of the entire football world.
