The spread indicates that oddsmakers believe this game will be significantly closer than the 28-6 final we saw last season at the Meadowlands. Several things can factor into this, such as the timing of the game (Week 16) and the possibility of severe weather (December in New Jersey).
The moneyline highlights that the Vikings are currently the slight favorites and will find a way to win this game in New Jersey. Notably, the moneyline favors the team with the stronger chance of winning, regardless of where the game is played. While they routed the Giants last season at the Meadowlands, they are only slight favorites in preseason odds, but that can change as the season goes along.
The Giants can beat the Vikings if they can establish the run and keep the ground game going. That will be significant with Tyrone Tracy Jr. getting the load and rookie Cam Skattebo getting some looks. This sets up the playaction for new quarterback Russell Wilson to make plays. The defense must prevent Justin Jefferson from dominating them down the field.
The Vikings can beat the Giants if Aaron Jones runs the ball efficiently, setting up quarterback JJ McCarthy for success. Finding Jefferson for some open looks is essential. Likewise, the defense must apply pressure, as they did last season, when they forced the Giants to commit two turnovers.
