Betseeker’s expert tipsters have you covered for the best NFL tips and predictions for every game of the NFL season.

The Vikings are complete frauds and it would not surprise to see the Giants upset the NFC North champions.

Best Bet

Giants +3
Line

The Vikings finished the season with a 13-4 record, and, remarkably, a negative point differential.

It sums up a season where Minnesota were so often the beneficiaries of remarkable luck, a soft schedule, or both.

That luck was seldom more evident when these sides played in Week 16 and the Vikings won with a walk off field goal from 61 yards. They needed this despite winning the turnover count 2-0.

The New York Giants have arguably been the NFL’s most improved team under first year head coach Brian Daboll. They finished the season with a 9-7-1 record (an even better 13-4 against the number) despite having one of the least talented rosters in the league.

The reality of this game is, despite the win loss records there is nothing between these sides. Therefore, with the points the Giants look a compelling play.


Same Game Multi

Giants + 3, TJ Hockenson, Richie James over 50.5 Receiving Yards

The Giants have given up more than 56 yards per game to tight ends, the ninth most in the league. Hockenson abused the Giants when these teams met in Week 16, ending up with more than 100 yards.

James has been a consistent target out of the slot for Daniel Jones and has been putting up good numbers late in the season. He should get his chance against the Vikings poor secondary.


Value Bet

Giants -5.5
Alternate Line

When the Vikings lose, they lose big, an it would not be a surprise to see Big Blue cause an upset here.
