Giants vs Vikings: How to Watch, Odds, History and More

In this story:
The New York Giants' amazing 2022 season rolls on this week with a Christmas Eve day game at the Minnesota Vikings.
This week's game certainly has no shortage of storylines. At stake for the Giants is a chance at earning their first postseason berth (assuming they also get losses from any two of the Lions, Seahawks, and Commanders) since 2016.
The NFC North winners, who are coming off an emotionally charged and somewhat miraculous win last week against the Colts in which they erased a 33-0 halftime deficit, are trying to keep pace with the Philadelphia Eagles for the No. 1 seed and accompanying first-round bye in the playoffs.
Check in with Giants Country during and after the game for complete coverage.
