New York at Minnesota

The Vikings offense has been tailing off of late anyway and with the onset of week 17, it may not be a full game for the starters. This team was averaging 31 points per game through 12 weeks, scoring below 27 just once. In the last four weeks, they have dipped to 21 per game, scoring 17 or fewer twice. The Giants defense has taken a lot of punches this season, but they have a history of responding after allowing 30+ in their prior game. The last 16 times they have allowed 30+, they have gone12-3-1 UNDER in their next game including 4-1 this year! Under Tom Coughlin, the G-Ment are 10-2 UNDER on the road in a game with a total between 45 and 49 points and 12-3 UNDER off a double-digit home loss. Overall the Giants are 13-3 UNDER on the road in their last 16 when the total is posted above 45 points. The Vikings struggling offense and solid defense has resulted in six of their last seven failing to reach the total. They have to avoid the loss here, or they could lose their first-round bye in the playoffs. I like this one to go UNDER the total.
