Vikings at Giants picks: It comes down to Sam Darnold vs. Daniel Jones
Members of the Pioneer Press sports staff who cover the Vikings forecast Sunday’s season opener on the road against the New York Giants:
Dane Mizutani
Vikings 23, Giants 20: It’s not going to be pretty, but in the end, Sam Darnold outduels Daniel Jones ever so slightly, and Will Reichard nails the game-winning field goal as time expires in his NFL debut.
John Shipley
Giants 29, Vikings 18: Outside of Justin Jefferson, there is little reason to expect much of anything from the 2024 Vikings, so it’s hard to pick them to win their opener on the road.
Charley Walters
Vikings 21, Giants 20: Vikings QB Sam Darnold, thanks to Justin Jefferson, begins his quest for NFL comeback player of the year over a shaky Giants QB Daniel Jones.
