Giants-Vikings Week 16 showdown: Vikings offense seeks to build on late-season surge as Giants chase a spark
Minnesota carries momentum behind J.J. McCarthy into a New Jersey showdown with a struggling New York team, while Bet365 offers a $150 bonus on a $5 wager with code NYPBET.
Two underperforming teams collide at MetLife Stadium when the Minnesota Vikings visit the New York Giants in Week 16. The Giants are 2-12, while the Vikings sit at 4-10, each hoping to salvage something from a challenging season.
Minnesota’s offense has shown life behind rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy, winning two straight and scoring 65 points after weeks of stagnation. The Giants have flashed competence from rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart but remain inconsistent on both sides of the ball.
Defensively, New York has struggled, ranking 29th in points allowed and 30th in yards allowed, and has surrendered at least 296 yards per game this season. Minnesota, by contrast, can be dangerous near the goal line, ranking sixth in red-zone rushing efficiency, while Dart’s mobility and ball security have provided a spark for a Giants team that has struggled to finish drives.
