New York Giants @ Minnesota Vikings NFL Week 14 Free Picks

New York Giants @ Minnesota Vikings NFL Week 14 Free Picks: For a team that struggles with keeping their quarterback clean, the Minnesota Vikings should find their hands full when the Giants come to visit this Sunday. With just 4 rushers most of the time, the Giants put a lot of pressure on opposing quarterbacks – and that should make things tough for whomever is playing quarterback for the Vikings, if it’s the old man, Brett Favre, or Tarvaris Jackson. Favre, as many know, has 18 interceptions this season, and Jackson threw three in one game last week. If anything, having a mobile guy back there gives the Vikings a better shot –but I don’t see that better shot meaning much in the end.

The Giants’ yearly slump is over as they got a lot of things corrected two weeks ago when they came back and beat the Jaguars in the 4th quarter. That carried over to last Sunday’s game (at my expense) against the Washington Redskins. The Giants dominated the Redskins so much that Splinter felt the need to suspend a guy that didn’t even play in the game. Awesome.

I’m always afraid of the Giants this time of year, but they seem to have their rushing attack figured out and their defense is playing good football. For a team that makes a lot of mistakes, like the Vikings, this is a match-up that should go the way of the Giants – even if they are playing on the road. I’ll take the Giants by a touchdown or two – hopefully they don’t dominate and win by just 2, like the dang Colts did on Thursday Night.
