Trentwannabe Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I'm really looking forward to this game. Always fun to watch Jefferson play and I haven't seen much of the Giants this year outside of highlights. I'll be rooting for the Buffalo connection in this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr A W Niloc Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 If Mike Zimmer were still in Minnesota we could bill this as "talent versus coaching" and I'd take Brian Daboll in a heartbeat. However, Kevin O'Connell is half a league better than Zimmer and (even though he may still be half a league behind Daboll) that should make all the difference. Vikings by double digits. I wouldn't be surprised to be wrong, though. The Giants have a unique ability to puke the field green in the regular season before going on a tear in the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I'm going bold and saying that Minnesota wins this one somewhat comfortably. Minnesota by a touchdown to 10 points 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyJoeDavola Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Minnesota will start fast, then fade for the next two quarters. The key for NY is to either have a substantial lead or be prepared to hold down the 4th quarter resurgence. If the Vikings aren't up by 10 after the first quarter it could be trouble. In the end I think the Giants win this one. Teams this season have fared much better against the Vikings the second time they have faced them. 27-21 NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holds up for 2/3 teams they've played twice, with the 1 other team being the Bears, who played Nathan Peterman and David Blough at QB the second time.

Yea, I don't really count that final game since both teams pulled many players. Cousins didn't finish the game either so its not a real good game to judge. But the other two games showed a fairly striking change from game one to two. Is that familiarity with the new scheme for the Vikings? Homefield being flipped? Coincidence? Likely a combination, but having some experience going against a new coach and system is never a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Kyle Brandt's (GFMB) deep dive into Kirk Cousins late game 4pm window W/L record as a Viking (5-9) , Redskins (2-9) and Spartan (3-6) was funny to watch. 10-24 🍺 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should have been the wake up call to our team. Green Bay eliminated themselves though and Minnesota is in it. The Vikings just have to move forward and play their hearts out. Skol!

While Kirk's per game averages at 1pm and 4pm games aren't too different, the win/loss record is. It's a really good thing they didn't choose this game for Monday night. DJ is like 1-9 in primetime games, and we all know how notoriously bad Kirk is on Monday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinerNation21 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Either the Vikings win this game by 2 points or they lose by 25. Either way, I'm leaning Vikings, but don't feel comfortable with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Since this is the least talked about game, you can pretty much guarantee it'll be the craziest game this weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically most games involving the Vikes end up being the craziest game of the weekend. That’s a given at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
