Stephen Nover's NFL Saturday Big Ticket
(NFL) NY Giants vs. Minnesota, 12/24/2022 1:00 PM, Score: 24 - 27
Point Spread: 4.00 | -101.00 NY Giants (Away)
Result: Win
Don't be fooled by the Vikings' 11-3 record. They have outscored their opponents by just two points and have a losing point spread mark.

The Vikings are fat and happy having already won their NFC North Division after coming from 33 points down to beat the Colts in overtime last week.

Minnesota coach Kevin O'Connell has already said his priority is having a healthy team ready for the playoffs.

The Giants have more urgency. They are off a key, confidence-regaining road win against the Commanders to put them in the playoff hunt.

Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley can produce enough numbers against a Vikings' defense that ranks last in total yards and 28th in scoring defense to keep the Giants firmly in this game if not pull the outright upset.
