Our trusted projections expect the Minnesota Vikings offense to be the 4th-fastest paced team in the league (context-neutralized) right now, averaging 27.15 seconds per play.The Vikings have played in the 6th-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the league last year, which ought to result in lower pass volume, higher running volume, and reduced passing offense effectiveness when facing windier conditions in this week's game.While Sam Darnold has accounted for 2.8% of his offense's rush attempts in games he has played last year, the projections expect him to be a much bigger part of Minnesota's ground game in this game at 12.5%.The Giants defense has produced the 3rd-worst efficiency against opposing ground games last year, surrendering 4.90 adjusted yards-per-carry.
