Pioneer Press staffers who cover the Vikings take a stab at predicting Sunday’s game against the Giants in New Jersey:
Dane Mizutani
Vikings 23, Giants 16: J.J. McCarthy has shown growth over the past couple of games while facing some struggling defenses on the other end. That trend will continue this weekend.
Jace Frederick
Vikings 17, Giants 13: Do I think JJ McCarthy will play well again? No idea. But pretty sure Brian Flores will make Jaxson Dart’s life miserable.
John Shipley
Vikings 29, Giants 17: It’s been 25 years since the Vikings rolled into the Meadowlands as favorites in the NFC Championship and lost 41-0. This won’t exactly serve as revenge, but it will help set an optimistic tone for next season.
Charley Walters
Vikings 21, Giants 20: This could be J.J. McCarthy’s fifth victory in nine starts if he performs the way he did in Dallas last week. Big game for the kid.
