Kirk Cousins guides a hungry Minnesota Vikings team eager to win their first playoff game since 2019, as they host Daniel Jones and the New York Giants, embarking on their first playoff game since 2016.
The Sunday afternoon Wild Card Weekend matchup is a rematch from Week 16, a 27-24 Vikings win in Minnesota. Cousins and Jones combined for 633 pass yards in that one.
Oddsmakers at NFL betting sites are expecting points to be scored here, too. The Over/Under for the game is 48.5 points, the highest total of Wild Card Weekend. Minnesota is favored by three points in the latest Giants vs. Vikings odds.
Bookies.com NFL handicapper Adam Thompson – focused on hitting over 60% of his NFL picks for a fourth-consecutive season – reveals his NFL betting picks and props for this NFC rematch.
Giants at Vikings Point Spread Pick
Minnesota’s defense is always a concern, but the Giants don’t put pressure on defenses, opting to keep things conservative. Minnesota can outscore conservative opponents, especially at home. New York is also just 2-6 vs. playoff teams, including the loss to these Vikings.
When it comes to playoff experience, Cousins and Co. have it, Jones and his cohorts don’t. QBs making their first playoff starts are 17-36-1 ATS over the last 20 years. The Vikings aren’t without flaws, but this is a good matchup and we’ll lay a field goal with them at home on betting sites.

Giants vs. Vikings Over/Under Best Bet
This is a big total, and it makes sense considering Minnesota’s potential on offense and its defensive struggles. Vikings games had hit 49-plus points in six of the last seven weeks, the Giants have had 48 total points in five of eight games.
According to the numbers, however, it’s a little high. Combined with road/home splits, these teams are averaging 47.5 ppg while allowing 47.0. We have a much better grasp as to who wins this game and by how much, compared to how many points will be tallied. Shy from the total in favor of other wagers. Pass.

Giants vs. Vikings Moneyline Pick
The Vikings are -165 on the moneyline, while the Giants are posted at +140. New York certainly has reasons to believe it has a chance here. Minnesota against the spread has been only 7-9-1 but it’s a perfect 11-0 straight-up in one-score games.
We’re siding with the Vikings to cover, but to win might be the better play if you don’t mind the tighter line, especially if it jumps past -3.5 on their end. We like Vikings moneyline but prefer the spread scenario overall on sports betting apps.

Best Giants vs. Vikings Player Props
Kirk Cousins, Under 0.5 INTs
Odds: -140 at DraftKings
These are semi-lofty odds, but the Vikings do or die by their QB. When he tosses at least two TDs, his team is 8-1. His team is 7-2 when he doesn’t toss an INT. He threw just four INTs in nine home games. On the flip side, the Giants’ defense has just six INTs in 17 games – the lowest total in the NFL.
Dalvin Cook, Over 70.5 Rushing Yards
Odds: -105 at BetMGM
The Giants rank 27th in run defense and 31st in yards per attempt, a whopping 5.2. Only once in 10 games did Cook finish under 70 yards when he averaged at least 4.0 yards per carry. Feed the beast against this defense.
