As we have written ad nauseum this week, the New York Giants were beaten soundly by Minnesota on Sunday. They had chances to put more points on the board but failed to do so, the G-Men lost 28-10. Big Blue had little success on either side of the ball as evidenced by the fact they were singlehandedly outgained by Vikings running back Dalvin Cook, 218-211.

• QB Daniel Jones – 21/38, 182 yards, 1 touchdown, 1 interception.
• WR Darius Slayton – 4 receptions, 62 yards, 1 touchdown.
• S Antoine Bethea – 11 tackles.
• S Jabrill Peppers – 5 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 forced fumble.

This Week

It’s hard to imagine a scenario where the New York Giants can realistically win this game. According to the betting lines, Big Blue won’t be anywhere close. This may be one of the most complete teams of the Belichick/ Brady era. They can move the ball either on the ground or through the air. New England’s defense can be stifling against a fully staffed team. Consider the G-Men will be without their top three offensive weapons Shepard, Engram, and Barkley, and you can see why the spread is so big.
