The Giants offense will be hampered by the loss of dynamic, and play-making WR Odell Beckham Jr. as he will serve a one game suspension. Minnesota will play with a hurting Adrien Peterson who tweaked his ankle in the last game. That will put the onus on the defensive side of the ball for this one. The Vikings got back in the win column after a pair of losses, as they beat Chicago 38-17. While it would appear by the score that they found their offense, the 38 points was generated on just 350 total yards, and the Vikings had not topped the 20-point mark in their previous four games. The Vikings may be 9-5 and on their way to the playoffs, but this is a team that has over-achieved their stats, as they have been out-gained by 20 yards per contest. The Giants need to win out to have a chance to make the playoffs. New York has lost five games this season where they were leading in the fourth quarter, so the record is a bit tainted as this is a better team than the 6-8 ledger they have posted through 14 games. The Giants are now 42-17-2 ATS in their last 61 following a game where they gained 150+ yards rushing. Minnesota just 2-5 ATS after scoring 30+ in their previous game. The Giants have also played 11 of their last 16 to the UNDER on the road vs. a team with a winning home record. Minnesota is now 30-13 to the UNDER after scoring 30 points or more. Take the Giants and the UNDER.
