Minnesota Vikings vs New York Giants Same Game Parlay Picks

The stage is set for the expanded NFL wild card round this weekend, and we are taking a comprehensive look ahead by putting together a meticulously researched Minnesota Vikings vs New York Giants same game parlay.

With these two teams having met each other on Christmas Eve, and just three points separating them at the final whistle, this looks to be one of the closes games of the wild card playoff round.

This is reflected in the current NFL betting markets, who have the Vikings pegged as slight favourites at -163, although New York head into Sunday’s game off the back of a 28 point win over the Colts in Week 18.

Three selections combine to make our NFL wild card same game parlay for this match-up, and while we have tipped the Vikings to secure safe passage in their quest for a first ever Super Bowl, the meeting just over a fortnight ago suggests this could be the most evenly matched game of the weekend.

Minnesota Vikings vs New York Giants Same Game Parlay Pick 1: 1st Half Winner – New York Giants

• New York Giants’ are 9-7-1 and they head into this weekend as slight underdogs against a Vikings side who have lost just four games in the NFL this season.
• Despite our overall prediction siding with Minnesota, we are tipping the Giants to head into half time with the lead. They have a respectable .559 winning percentage while leading at the break, which is considerably less that the Vikings who rank in the top five. However, they trailed by just three points at the end of the second quarter in the repeat of this match-up back in December, after a Greg Joseph field goal edged Minnesota out in front.
• The Vikings have allowed the second-most passing yards per contest this season with 265.8, and if New York’s playmakers can race into an early lead, this could be a shrewd selection that holds considerable value.

Minnesota Vikings vs New York Giants Same Game Parlay Pick 2: Minnesota Vikings Total Points Over 25.5

• The Vikings will need to put up points after the break and we are tipping them to do just that by hitting their implied total for the game, which is set at 25.5.
• The hosts have hit this mark in 10 of their 17 regular season games so far, and it is often required in order to offset their defensive struggles having conceded over 220 points in their previous eight.
• Kirk Cousins was integral at QB as the Vikings edged the Giants last time, and will need a special performance one again. He clocked in with 299 passing yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions, while Justin Jefferson had a helping hand with 130 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Minnesota Vikings vs New York Giants Same Game Parlay Pick 3: Minnesota Vikings -3 Handicap Win

• The Giants had a very mixed run-in to the end of the season with six losses in 10 games, including the meeting with their wild card opponents, and we think Minnesota will just edge the contest in what could well be a narrow affair.
• The Vikings, although unpredictable at times, have had a very strong season with 13 wins, and it would be hugely underwhelming for the crowd packed into the US Bank Stadium on Sunday to see them fall at the first postseason hurdle.
