The New York Giants may have evened their record to 2-2 not he year, but that doesn’t mean they’re in the same league with the big boys — yet.
Oddsmakers have made this week’s opponent — the Minnesota Vikings (2-2) — a 4.5-point favorite over Big Blue for this Sunday’s game at MetLife Stadium. The over/under has been set at 44.5.
The Vikings lost to the Chicago Bears, 16-6, at Soldier Field on Sunday and have wins over the Atlanta Falcons and Oakland Raiders (both home games) with losses in Chicago and Green Bay.
The Giants were blown away by the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills to start their season and were on their way to another humiliation in Tampa Bay when rookie Daniel Jones brought them from back from 28-10 down to a 32-31 victory. They still needed the Bucs to miss a field goal to secure the win.
On Sunday, they overwhelmed a depleted Washington Redskins team, 24-3, at home, which Las Vegas is obviously taking into account by making them underdogs this week.
