The New York Giants (8-5-1) will visit the Minnesota Vikings (11-3) at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Saturday afternoon.
Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 4-point road underdogs and that’s where the line remains as of this writing.
Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 16 matchup:
Expert | Pick | Score (if applicable) |
Dan Graziano (ESPN) | Vikings | N/A |
Mike Clay (ESPN) | Vikings | N/A |
Laura Rutledge (ESPN) | Vikings | N/A |
Pete Prisco (CBS) | Giants | 27-26 |
John Breech (CBS) | Giants | 23-20 |
Jared Dubin (CBS) | Vikings | N/A |
Nate Davis (USA TODAY) | Vikings | 27-23 |
Lorenzo Reyes (USA TODAY) | Vikings | 21-14 |
Bill Bender (Sporting News) | Vikings | 28-24 |
Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News) | Giants | 20-17 |
Although many anticipate a one-score game on Saturday, most of the above panel seems to believe the Vikings will edge the Giants. But this group is actually giving them a better shot than other league experts, who are picking Minnesota at an 86% clip, according to NFL Pickswatch.
Fans have things even more lopsided than the experts. They are picking the Vikings at 89% and believe the Giants’ playoff berth is still at least a week away.
