New York has had a case of the Mondays the last five seasons, putting together a 3-5 SU/ATS record since 2011 under the Monday night lights. In 2015, the Giants split a pair of Monday contests, but they were throttled as a road underdog at Philadelphia last October, 27-7. The Vikings haven’t been much better on Mondays, losing five straight since December 2009, including a 20-3 drubbing at San Francisco in last season’s opener.
The Vikings are the only 3-0 squad left in the NFL as the Giants invade U.S. Bank Stadium to close out Week 4. Minnesota has won each of the past two weeks as an underdog against NFC playoff teams from last season, as the Vikings are seeking their first 4-0 start since 2009. Meanwhile, New York looks to rebound after melting down in the second half of a home defeat to Washington in Week 3.
The Giants stormed out to a 2-0 start with a pair of victories by a combined four points against the Cowboys and Saints. However, New York couldn’t hold onto a 21-9 lead in last Sunday’s 29-27 home defeat to Washington as 3 ½-point home favorites. Eli Manning put up 350 yards through the air for New York, but the Giants’ quarterback was intercepted twice, including getting picked off in the final minutes of regulation. Odell Beckham, Jr. recorded his first 100-yard receiving game of the season, posting 121 yards on seven catches, but the Giants’ wideout has yet to score a touchdown in 2016.
Minnesota keeps rolling in spite of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and running back Adrian Peterson sidelined. The Vikings capitalized off a Week 2 home underdog victory over the Packers to knock off the Panthers last Sunday. Minnesota cashed outright as six-point underdogs in a 22-10 triumph at Carolina, as the defense held the defending NFC champions scoreless in the final three quarters. The Vikings barely busted the 200-yard mark offensively, but received another non-offensive touchdown thanks to a 54-yard punt return for a score by Marcus Sherels.

The Vikings are playing their second game at brand new Bank Stadium, but Minnesota has fared well at home since the start of 2015. Minnesota posted a 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS record last season, while going 10-3 SU/ATS since November 2014 at home. The defense has been terrific in this stretch for the Vikings, limiting nine of the last 11 opponents to 18 points or less, while the UNDER has cashed eight times.
The Giants were embarrassed the last time they faced the Vikings in December 2015, falling 49-17 as seven-point underdogs. Minnesota picked off Manning three times, while Beckham sat out due to a one-game suspension. Peterson rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown, as the Vikings relied on kicker Blair Walsh to connect on five field goals. The Giants have lost each of their past three road meetings with the Vikings since 2008, but New York did knock off Minnesota in a neutral site affair in 2010 when a snowstorm destroyed the room of the Minnesota’s incredible success under their third year head coach, “Mike Zimmer probably has NFL Coach of the Year locked up already given the hurdles the team faced with the revolving quarterbacks and the loss of the team’s most notable player in Adrian Peterson. Since taking over in 2014, Zimmer’s Vikings are 27-9 ATS and you can add an 11-2 ATS mark in the preseason for the Vikings under Zimmer for an over 77 percent proposition supporting this team since the start of the 2014 season.
New York will step up against a defensive foe as Nelson highlights the inferior defenses that “Big Blue” has faced, “The Giants have played three down-to-the-wire games this season to sit at 2-1, but they have faced defenses that rank 25th, 30th, and 31st in yards per play. This will be a big step up in class for an offense that produces yards but not always points with the Vikings rating as the best defense in the NFL in many categories at this point.”
