I am very bullish on the Vikings this year, especially because of their coaching staff. Defensive coordinator Brian Flores is expected to bring out some complex blitz packages and coverages in Week 1, taking advantage of the weakness of the Giants' offensive line. With Jones struggling under pressure and the Vikings' secondary ready to pounce on any mistakes, I foresee a challenging game for the Giants.

 In terms of quarterbacks, Darnold's potential has been boosted by his previous experience with Kyle Shanahan and now with Kevin O'Connell. I firmly believe that Darnold is an upgrade over the Vikings' previous quarterbacks. Additionally, with players like Jordan Addison rising in his second season and the threat posed by Justin Jefferson, any quarterback will be set up for success. Talent wise, this Vikings team has much more to offer and I think as long as they keep their game plan simple, they'll have a ton of success. I worry about how many play makers the Giants have, and when they go down, I don't trust Daniel Jones to be able to throw the deep ball and crawl back. 

 Play the Vikings on the road here in Week 1 to get the job done.
