Giants-Vikings Week 1 odds: Giants are the underdog at home

Giants will look to get season started on a good note

If you cared to look at betting odds throughout the offseason, you would have found that the New York Giants spent most of that time as the favorite over the Minnesota Vikings in their Week 1 game this Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

That has changed.

With Week 1 here, the Giants are 1.5-point underdogs to the Vikings, per FanDuel. The Giants are +128 on the moneyline, and the 41.5-point over/under is -110.

The Giants will not only be at home, they will be throwing a 100th season of NFL competition party. They will be wearing their much-discussed throwback uniforms for the only time this season. They will also be celebrating the full release of their top 100 players in franchise history.

The game itself will be the culmination of a weekend celebration that will begin on Friday with a FanFest at the stadium that will be attended by many of the players on the franchise’s top 100 list. There will be a 5K and Kids Run on Saturday in which some Giants legends will participate.

On Sunday, the Giants will host the Vikings at 1 p.m. The Giants will be hoping for a better result than last year’s 40-0 season-opening loss to the Dallas Cowboys, and for a more promising start than the 2-8 record they compiled in last year’s first 10 games.
