1) Vikings have arguably the very best defense in the NFL. It is a bit too early to call that, but that is what I have seen with my own eyes. If you want to look at fantasy points, Vikings are #1 with #2 way behind. The better defense at home is the one thing that will win you cash if you are not dealing with a huge point-spread.
2) Vikings playing at home in prime-time in that new gorgeous stadium. It is already certified to be the loudest stadium in the NFL. The high tech ceiling reflects all noise... it was topping 120 db last week there. The fans need to learn to be quiet while offense is on the field. Giants fans do not travel and if you think that means nothing in the NFL you missed the Dallas game yesterday at San Francisco... it was like another home game for the Boys
3) Bradford gets plenty of hate from most fans... I never have seen it that way. Legit veteran pro QB, and now he has a very good team that loves he is there. He is playing the best football of his career. Bridgewater may be great someday, but he is not there yet. Bradford is a upgrade.
4) No LT - no problem. LT is past his prime, way past. I know "he is a freak"... he is getting old. It showed in the first 3 games. He was averaging about 2 yards per rush. Now the new kid Jerick McKinnon gets the rock, this guy is the best athlete on the team says those that know him best.
5) Stephon Diggs... if I need to explain this you have not been paying attention.
6) Eli is hot and cold... and you know he is more likely playing a stinker against a very good defense
7) You need to look at strength of schedule. Vikings have 3 wins and 3 covers against decent teams. Giants lost at home last week to WAS while coughing up 29 points
BOL to everybody. I really don't think this game will be competitive in the 2nd half. If Vikings fail to win by 10+ points I will be surprised.
