Vikings Visit Giants in Battle of the Basement Monday Night<\/strong><\/p>\n The NFL schedule makers can\u2019t predict the future and if they could they likely wouldn\u2019t have two teams with a combined 1 win on the season battling on Monday Night Football. That\u2019s why they play the games (I hate that saying!!!). <\/p>\n Minnesota (1-4) at N.Y.

Buy Razor Ray’s NFL FOOTBALL Picks Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The 0-6 New York Giants, off 10 gays rest and a loss to the Chicago Bears welcome the 1-4 Minnesota Vikings Monday with seemingly little hope on the horizon \u2013 Eli Manning is having a historically poor start to the season and the Viking will turn to their third franchise QB of the season when Josh Freeman makes his Vikings debut. Although there isn\u2019t a ton to play for Monday night, there is plenty of intrigue ahead of this showdown.<\/p>\n Ugh! So long Christian Ponder and thanks for starting a couple games Matt Cassell. But it\u2019s time to move over and let Josh Freeman have a crack at turning the miserable season around. Remember, Freeman had his chance with a decent roster in Tampa Bay and we all know how that went! Truth be told \u2013 his numbers dating back to the last half of last season are bad \u2013 he may not be the guy that most thought he\u2019d be heading into this season.<\/p>\n We can\u2019t blame the QBs solely \u2013 Greg Jennings is about the only pass catcher worth mentioning (and he is clearly a third tier wideout) and Kyle Rudolph has been a bust \u2013 who are the QB supposed to get the ball to?<\/p>\n We have to look at the coaching in Minnesota as well. When you have a guy like Adrian Peterson, there is no excuse for poor offensive play. The passing game just has to be a compliment to Mr. Peterson and the coaches have not found a way as of yet to get this accomplished.<\/p>\n Minnesota\u2019s defense ranks 31st overall \u2013 they have been brutal and unable to slow average offenses all season long. They are 30th against the pass and 30th against the run. They lost their leading tackler Harrison Smith and now comes word that their only real talented linebacker Desmond Bishop is out for the year. Not good for you Vikings fans! [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n The Giants\u2019 faithful has pointed toward the lack of a decent running game for their 0-6 start. How do you explain their loss last week against Chicago then? Brandon Jacobs \u2013 ya Brandon Jacobs rumbled for 106 yards in the loss. The offensive line has been\u2026 offensive and Eli Manning has thrown an almost unbelievable 15 interceptions \u2013 that\u2019s why the Giants are losing! And then there\u2019s the defense!<\/p>\n New York’s defense has been absolutely brutal this year – no matter how much they have scored it hasn’t been enough! No team has allowed more points through six weeks than the New York Giants. The Bears scored 27 points against them last week – the first time all season a team didn’t score 30 on the G-Men. Their pass rush has evaporated – they have a league worst five sacks on the year – unbelievable.<\/p>\n : <\/p>\n A few trends to consider:<\/p>\n \u2022 Over is 7-1 in MIN last 8 Mon. games. Check this out – The Vikings are 1-11 in their last 12 primetime games and have been outscored 358-182 in those games. I think the trend continues Monday \u2013 the Vikings are simply a one trick pony. Stop Adrian Peterson and win the game. Eli Manning, Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks and Ruben Randle vs. Josh Freeman in his first start as a Viking, Greg Jennings, Jerome Simpson and Kyle Rudolph. Who do you like?
