The odds of the New York Giants strolling into Minneapolis and picking up a much-needed win were obviously greater if Odell Beckham Jr. were in uniform. Manning heads into Week 16 tied for third among all QBs with 32 passing TDs. Barr has 61 tackles, 2.5 sacks, five passes defensed, one interception and three forced fumbles in 12 games this season. The Vikings may be catching the Giants at the wrong time. Win or lose, they would play the Packers for the NFC North title in Green Bay the following week. The Vikings are eighth in points allowed, 13th in yards allowed, and seventh in passing yards allowed. The Vikings won all six of those games, two-thirds of their victories in a 9-5 season. “It’s the time of the year where teams are playing their best football, and I’m glad that we’re on the upside of that right now and have momentum heading into this next game”.

The Houston Rockets had their best defensive performance of the season in a victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night. Pierce scored 12 points in the season opener and hadn’t reached that mark again until erupting for 20 points Saturday in Utah.
The Minnesota Vikings may already be in the playoffs by the time they take the field Sunday night while the New York Giants know they won’t have a chance to join them.
The Vikings have made the rise from pretender to contender in one season and are looking to close out the season on a roll, against a Giants team that has had some epic fourth-quarter collapses this season. The combination of Randle, Dwayne Harris, Shane Vereen, and Rashad Jennings are going to have to truly step up and provide a considerable amount of help as the loss of OBJ will truly be missed. So roles could be elevated for Myles White, Hakeem Nicks and Geremy Davis.
“We didn’t have any timeouts, couldn’t afford to get tackled in bounds”, he said. While both are athletic, Prince Amukamara and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie should match up well against them. “When you watch him, he’s really good at if you make one mistake up front, he’s really good at finding it. And when he finds it, he finds it so quick and he’s out, and he makes you pay for it”.
This could be another good opportunity for the Vikings offense, and in particular for quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to build on his last two performances. NY averages 3.4 yards per carry on the road, ranking 29th in the league.
As the Giants and their fans prepare for these two must-win games, here are some important Do’s and Don’ts.
But the Vikings have their eyes set on an even bigger prize than the playoffs, and they will keep working toward that goal. This will be the first meeting at the team’s temporary home at TCF Bank Stadium.
