Last Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings made history by winning the division again after four campaigns and coming back from a 33-0 deficit to win the game.
For the first time since this season began, Minnesota’s offense passed 500 total yards despite totaling only 92 rushing yards and losing three fumbles to the Indianapolis Colts’ defense.
While Kirk Cousins threw two interceptions at the start of the game, he finished with 460 yards and four touchdown passes. Minnesota is now seventh in red zone efficiency at 63.5% and ranks amongst the top seven in passing yards, and touchdown passes.
In the game against the Colts, most of the points came from turnovers on offense, Minnesota’s defense is the team’s main challenge.
Within the circuit, they are second in average yards allowed per play with 5.9, second in passing yards allowed with 3, 903, and have scored 20 passing touchdowns.
On the ground, things get better for the Vikings as they allow a decent average of 4.4 yards per rush. But many of those stops hurt the squad, and they are second in penalties committed with 99.

The New York Giants, by staying in sole possession of the NFC’s second wild card, with their away win over the Washington Commanders, took an important step towards the postseason.
Stepping up their defense after allowing 28 points or more in three of the previous games was vital. Stealing two balls from Washington was significant because although the Giants aren’t very good at recovering fumbles, they now have 17 this year.
New York will need to improve their average of 5.8 rushing yards per play they allow to opponents, including the yards per rush they allow with 5.4.
It is good that the Giant’s defense has bounced back because they have the worst offense in the NFL. This team hasn’t scored more than 27 points in a game this season.
Against Washington, they totaled just 288 total yards and have the fourth-lowest number of passing touchdowns with 13.
In this aspect, the Giants’ strength is that they lose few balls on the ground, they are the 6th best team in total yards and touchdowns.
Minnesota Vikings VS New York Giants Winner Predictions
Today’s game is between two teams whose defenses allow a lot of points, in spite of being headed for the postseason.
New York Giants’ offense still needs to score over 27 points on the season, scoring just once.
Minnesota Viking’s offense needs a break with one of their foot in the postseason and the fight against the Eagles for the best record in the NFC almost lost.
Four out of the last five meetings between these two teams have ended in the Under.
This year, New York has been in an Under in eight out of its 14 games, while in two it equaled the point line.
Final prediction: Under (NY 20 – Min 26)
