Summary:
Minnesota has the best turnover margin in the NFL so it’s no surprise that they are (3-0) to start the season. The Giants offense has struggled early on and they have turned the ball over way too much. This could be troublesome against a top 3 defense in Minnesota that’s clicking on all cylinders. Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford is playing at a high level despite only being with the team for a few weeks. Minnesota was dealt a huge blow when star running back Adrian Peterson suffered another major knee injury. This should be a low scoring game and that favors Minnesota playing at home.
