Giants-Vikings odds, Week 16: New York expected to lose ninth straight

The 2-12 New York Giants have lost eight straight games. Oddsmakers think that streak will reach nine against the Minnesota Vikings in NFL Week 16, with FanDuel Sportsbook establishing the Vikings as 2.5-point

favorites.

Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET game is at MetLife Stadium. The half-empty stadium and apathetic crowd at MetLife in last week’s loss to the Washington Commanders, being at home won’t be much of an advantage for the Giants against Minnesota.

The Vikings are 6-8, last in the NFC North. Minnesota, though, has won two straight games after losing six of seven. Minnesota defeated the Commanders, 31-0, and then the Dallas Cowboys, 34-26. In those games, second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy threw five touchdown passes, just one interception, and had his two games with passer ratings above 100.

The Giants are 0-4 since Mike Kafka became interim head coach following the firing of Brian Daboll.

New York enters the weekend holding the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
