The New York Giants (0-0) will host the Minnesota Vikings (0-0) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday afternoon.
Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 1-point home underdogs and things have only gotten worse since then. As of this writing, Minnesota is -1.5.
Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 1 matchup:
| Expert | Pick | Score (if applicable) |
| Dan Graziano (ESPN) | Vikings | N/A |
