Don't expect a big afford out of NY, Manning may play a half and than Carr takes over. The defense has got to know Sheridan is a lame duck DC and won't be back next year, they won't risk injury for him and besides there's not much to play for. There are a group of players who won't be back come Sept and will be cleaning out their lockers come Monday morning.

My own spread is MINN -3 with the points line @ 45. But this is only on tues but i dont expect it to move to much come Sunday a.m.

my logic : vegas is forgetting MINN does not need to play starters whole game. they are not getting a bye!!! it will end close.

 GIANTS

Vegas is forgetting something??  Haha I don't think so.  I agree with you, though.  G-Men

    Could not be anymore wrong about the Giants intentions in this tilt, brother! The G -Men play for Coughlin, and not Sheridan. Why would you suspect the Giants to be resting players- they're not going anywhere soon! This is their SB. Besides, they've pretty much have "owned" the Vikes in recent years, especially against the number. After blowing the Chicago game, and an expected Philly victory, wave good bye to Favre and companies' playoff hopes!!

CORRECTION----

My bad i got my schedule wrong @MINN 1pm , PHI/DAL is at 4pm! still I got MINN -3

The Giants are in for a LONG day ! Miiny get's it started right now !!!!! They will once again give the vike fans HOPE!!!!!

The Giants will play hard here.  This will be a close game.......The Vikes need to win and Philly lose to Dallas to get a bye.  The Giants getting that many here is insane!!!  The Vikes are not in prime shape right now and not playing well.  Giants will show up and give effort......might not win but should stay within 9!!

i just dont see the vikings turning it on all of a sudden.. yes i do think they will play better but i also think the giants will play better too.. i mean the giants cant play any worse then what they showed last week..  the giants definitly cover this and possibly can win this game.. in the end though i think itll be a high schoring game.. vikings win 36-31

Coach Brad Childress confirmed that the Vikings will not be resting their starters against the Giants Sunday.

NYG/MIN UNDER 47.5: Minnesota in the last 4 weeks, have scored 21 per game (17 or fewer twice). In the last game, the starters will most likely come out in the 4th qtr. The g-men, meanwhile, are 13-3 UNDER on the road when the total is 45 points. (4 units).

This is a must win for Minnesota.

Giants will offer little defensive resistance.

Just hope Favre or AP does not get hurt or they're done! They maybe done anyway.

y would minny not play starters for the whole game   u dont know what ur talkin bout they gotta win to get the #2 spot  so flush ur theory down the drain  

   Earning a bye week is not grounds, and definetely NOT a "must win" scenario under any circumstances! If the G-Men lay down like dying dogs, and the Eagles @ 4 o'clock say we're not getting our uniforms dirty, so we'll let the Cowboys beat us for a 2nd game TY, and win the division from them, THEN the Vikings will be very motivated. With that being said- -----PLEEEEZE get real! There's an excellent chance of the Giants playing a hard fought ,close game, possibility being motivated the avenge a beating to Minny from LY. The G-men are very familar have played close, competitive contests the past several seasons, of which they've had the upper hand as far as the number is concerned. Once the pass rush, starts pressuring Favre, Childress would have to be a damn fool to risk his "franchise QB" to injury! I'm thrilled that many people are betting against me-- I sure could use their money!!

Too many variables here...Watching and hopefully learning..Thats it...

Giants may try but they won't outscore Minnesota

I just have Minny -.5 (teased with Indy +15) so they better close this out well in the dome!

Just Score Baby!!   VER  47.5  

Going with Minnasota here, They are playing for the 2nd seed and I dont think they wanna lose their last 3 heading into the playoffs,plus the giants are done!

Minny -9
