The New York Giants will be celebrating their 100th season of NFL competition on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Will the Giants beat the Minnesota Vikings and add to a festive atmosphere, or wreck it by opening the season with a loss at home?
FanDuel lists the Giants as 1.5-point home underdogs to a Vikings team that went 7-10 a season ago.
The Giants enter the season optimistic that they will field a better product than the 2023 team that went 6-11 after a horrid 2-8 start. The Giants added wide receiver Malik Nabers with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. They — again — revamped their offensive line. They traded for star pass rusher Brian Burns.
GM Joe Schoen tried and failed to trade up in the draft for quarterback Drake Maye, and the Giants committed to at least one more season with Daniel Jones at quarterback.
The Vikings will be quarterbacked by Sam Darnold. He won’t be threatened this year by first-round pick J.J. McCarthy, who is out for the season after knee surgery.
