When the Vikings have the ball: BENCH QB Christian Ponder. In his last eight games, Ponder has totaled 6 TDs and 8 INTs.

Expect him to return to his weekly top-5 ways against a bottom-10 Giants pass defense in what’s sure to be a track meet. BENCH All RBs. Obviously, the only guy you can give any … Continue reading →
