Giants-Redskins was the easiest selection last week — a stress-free, 24-3 Lock. Giants-Vikings, however, is shaping up to be the toughest call of Week 5.
The Giants come in riding a Big Blue wave of hope after rookie QB Daniel Jones turned 0-2 and the Eli Manning era into a distant, fond memory. Through four games, they have averaged 21.8 points per game, which actually is higher than the Vikings’ 21.0. The Giants even have done that without the services of Saquon Barkley for the past game and a half.
After giving up 91 points in the first 10 quarters to the Cowboys, Bills and Buccaneers, they have yielded just six points in the past six quarters to the Bucs and Redskins.
