Vikings Playoff Depth Chart — vs. Giants

Here’s the Vikings Playoff Depth Chart — vs. Giants, with Sunday’s game three days away.
The Minnesota Vikings are three-point favorites at home this weekend against New York. The purple team hasn’t hosted a playoff game since 2017 — you might remember the game and its ending — while the Giants haven’t tasted playoff football since 2016.
The Vikings have beaten the Giants four consecutive times. The last time Minnesota lost to New York was the “Josh Freeman Game” in 2013.
The Vikings injury report actually looks pretty decent as of Wednesday. Garrett Bradbury, the team’s starting center, is the big question mark. He’s missed five straight games with a back injury.
