The regular season has ended, and we are now reaching the final stretch as the Wild Card Games take place.

For this match, we are visiting the U.S. Bank Stadium as the Minnesota Vikings and the NY Giants clash to put it all on the line as one of them makes their way to the Divisional rounds. 

The last time these two teams met was on Matchday 16th, and the Vikings managed to get the victory 27-24.

Now that everything is on the line, we will have to see if the Eagles will be coming in to return the favor or if history will repeat itself.

One way or another, we are not keeping our eyes away from the matches all the teams fight to remain in the run to the Superbowl!

Why Bet on Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings head into this matchup 13-4 for this season. 

The last time they stepped on the gridiron, the Vikings got the victory with a final of 29-13 against the Bears.

Their defense hasn’t shined so far but their offense has been handling the job well enough to get them to the playoffs.

Kevin O’Connell led his Minnesota Vikings to the NFC North crown following back-to-back losing seasons. 

Why Bet on New York Giants

The New York Giants come into this matchup with a record of 9-7-1 for this season. 

When they last took the field, the Giants took the field against the Eagles and went home with a loss by a final score of 22-16, so it is not the momentum they likely wanted to start the playoffs.

Final Betting Analysis: Vikings vs. Giants

Minnesota needed a 61-yard field goal as time expired to defeat New York in Week 16, but the Giants still covered as four-point underdogs in that game.

At MyBookie.ag, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors Vikings at -168, while Giants start at +136.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if New York repeated that offensive showing since Minnesota ranks 31st in total defense and 28th in scoring defense. 

The Vikings are the worst defensive team in the 2023 NFL playoff bracket, as they allowed the most points and yards of the 14 playoff teams.

We are, however, thinking that the Vikings will manage to not only get the win once more but actually crush the Giants and make a statement on their path to the Divisional Round.

Likewise, our pick for this game is a Vikings win, and, in addition, we suggest the SPREAD bet on the Vikings at -3.

Look for a straight win on the Moneyline Minnesota Vikings. If you put $100 on the Vikings at -168, you’ll be looking at a $59.52 win with a total payout of $159.52.
