NFL Picks: New York Giants at Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football
Okay, I was wrong about the Philadelphia Eagles making next week meaningful. Instead, I think the New York Giants will win an otherwise meaningless game so they can continue to say “if only” this season. I also think the NFL needs some viewers next week, and keeping the Atlanta Falcons alive while sacrificing the undefeated season storyline means only a Minnesota Vikings loss can make next week look important. The fix is in folks.
Why else would “the greatest coach of all time” choose to kick after winning an overtime coin toss?
60% of the public money is in on the Vikings against the spread. The New York Giants’ best player is out from suspension, which makes the Minnesota Vikings the logical pick. The Vikings can clinch a playoff berth with a win here.
Once again, I’m trusting Z-Code and the Las Vegas public money trackers. Z-Code says there is a 97% chance at +7, and I’ve got the line at +7.5 for -115. So, with the computer saying > 97% odds here and the storyline feeling so complete, I like it. Further, the New York Giants have a decent run defense and can focus on Adrian Peterson. I think their corners can shut down middling receivers and give Teddy Bridgewater trouble.
I know they might be feeling deflated now that this game means nothing, but I think the New York Giants are playing good football and will cover +7.5.
Giants 28 – Vikings 27 (Giants +7.5)
