New York Giants at Minnesota Vikings Final Betting Prediction

The Vikings have an offense that’s difficult to defend against. Then again, Brian Daboll is one of the top strategists in the NFL.

For sure, Daboll will have a plan together that prevents Kirk Cousins from lighting up the scoreboard. Almost as important?

Daboll will throw some wrinkles into the offensive game-plan to unleash Saquon Barkley. The Vikings’ defense has struggled for most of this season. It will struggle again on Sunday.

The New York Giants find ways to win. Don’t expect a Joseph last second bailout in this game. Brian Daboll will have the perfect strategy on both sides of the ball to knock the Vikings out of the playoffs. Backing NYG straight up is the best play.
