The New York Giants wrapped up their 2008 season with a 12-4 record and a first-place finish in the NFC East. By the time the New York Giants ended up at the playoffs, they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles and were done for the season. However, it was a strong year for the New York Giants and 2009 also looks promising for this team.

The New York Giants always turn to quarterback Eli Manning to help them through each season. Eli Manning has a quarterback rating of 76.1 and a touchdown-interception tally of 98-74. During the season, Eli Manning was named as the November NFC Player of the Month and he also made it to the Pro Bowl in 2009. Of course, the New York Giants and Eli Manning were coming off of a hot 2007 season where they captured the Super Bowl title.

This game will be a big one for both the New York Giants and the Minnesota Vikings. The New York Giants are predicted to win based on their strong performances in the past several years, but the Minnesota Vikings will not want to end their season and a final home game with a loss. Back in 2008, the Minnesota Vikings played the New York Giants for the final game of the season. This was a nail-biter in which the Minnesota Vikings were edged out by a single point and the final score was 20-19. With this memory, the Minnesota Vikings aren't ready to lose such a close one again and the match-up should be intense.

This is the last Minnesota Vikings game of the regular season and could be the tipping between making or missing the play-offs. Minnesota Vikings tickets for this game are already going fast. It will be held on Sunday, January 3, 2010 at the Metrodome. If you'd like to be there, purchase your Minnesota Vikings tickets today!
