Combined, about 48 points are expected, which could be 26-22 in favor of the Vikings.

According to the latest oddsmakers' report in Las Vegas, the Vikings are 3-point favorites for this game.

Minnesota surprised and won the NFC North with ease, including eight games with less than 3 points that they ended up winning and, despite the criticisms, they will have to make the leap in quality to return to a Super Bowl.

Nobody was betting on the NY Giants and they had a great season after securing their wild card ticket a week earlier, so they rested some players in the last game against the Eagles.

In order not to burden Kirk Cousins with the entire offense, he will have to have his ground game as his main ally and essentially what Dalvin Cook can do both on the ground and as an outlet as a receiver. In the 2022 regular season he registered

If the Giants want to think about winning, they will have to establish their ground game and what Saquon Barkley can do will be fundamental to keep the purple offense off the field. The running back had 295 carries in the regular season, for 1,312 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Despite being champions of the NFC North division by a wide margin over the Lions and Packers, the reality is that the Minnesota Vikings have left some doubts because their defense has conceded many points and had many turnovers that, throughout this game, they will have to avoid in order to think of leaving Minneapolis with the victory.

Few were betting on the New York Giants from the beginning of the season and they gave one of the biggest surprises by making with a roster not so good in terms of talent, a competitive team on both sides of the field and secured their pass to the Playoffs on the penultimate date. Now the key will be to establish the ground game and prevent the game from being decided by the arm of Daniel Jones in order to transcend in these Playoffs.

The New York Giants vs Minnesota Vikings match will be played at the U.S. Bank Stadium, in Minnesota, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 16:30 pm ET.
