Why Bet The Jefferson Over
✅ Justin Jefferson was the biggest statistical producer at the wide receiver position in the NFL this season. His season long averages of 7.5 receptions per game and 106.4 yards per game are simply other worldly. His receptions over of 6.5 is the best bet for Jefferson in this game, but his yardage prop of 91.5 yards is absolutely worth a look as well. In 9 of the 10 games this season in which he had 7 or more receptions, Jefferson also cleared the century mark in yardage. This may be a great spot to parlay the two together as well.
✅ One of Jefferson’s best games of the season came against these same New York Giants. The Giants have been uneven all season when it comes to slowing wide receivers, and Jefferson was able to take full advantage. His 16 targets in that game were a season high, which he turned to a season high 12 catches for 133 yards. I fully expect a repeat in an even more important win or go home scenario.
Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings are the team in the league whose overall ability does not fully reflect their record, and not in a good way. The Vikings earned the 3 seed in the NFC, but they are widely not considered truly viable Super Bowl contenders. Even if they advance past this matchup with the Giants, they will be signifcant underdogs against either the 49ers or Eagles.
New York Giants
The Giants continue to surpass expectations this season That is mostly in part to the strides taken by quarterback Daniel Jones and the coaching of Brian Daboll. The Giants were considered highly unlikely to make the playoffs, but have proven naysayers wrong. The offense continues to be competent with Jones, despite having what is arguably the worst group of pass catchers in the league. The Giants are very live in this game.
