• Giants vs. Vikings Week 1 opening odds: The Giants open as favorites at home

    The New York Giants will open the 2024 season as 1-point favorites at home against the Minnesota Vikings, per Draftkings Sportsbook.

  • Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers dominate the Giants

    Eleven months ago, the Dodgers and San Francisco Giants looked like two franchises headed in somewhat different directions. In June, a surging Giants team came to Dodger Stadium, swept a three-game series in dominant fashion, and jumped their intradivison rivals in the National League West — marking the clear nadir of the Dodgers’ slow start to 2023.
