This article has been updated to reflect Sunday afternoon’s pre-game lines<\/em><\/p>\n

The trick to winning an NFL playoff game is giving the ball to your best player and letting him do his thing. For the New York Giants today, will that player be Saquon Barkley? Or Daniel Jones? Or both?<\/p>\n

Against the NFL’s second-worst passing defense, the correct answer is probably some combination of the two.<\/p>\n

Barkley ended the regular season as the NFL’s fourth-leading rusher with 1,312 yards. But he has not rushed for more than 87 yards since Nov. 13 — two months ago. Jones ended the regular season with 708 rushing yards to go along with his 3,205 passing yards, which ranked 15th among NFL quarterbacks. Barkley caught 57 passes, tied with Richie James for the team lead.<\/p>\n

As they prepped for Sunday’s NFC wild-card game by turning up the speakers at full blast at practice to replicate the noise they will experience in Minneapolis, coach Brian Daboll and his staff were scheming a game plan. Thinking like a coach and using common sense and creativity will help you wager on this one, in which the line sits at Giants -3 at all nine of New York’s nine licensed sportsbooks.<\/p>\n

Kickoff is 4:30 p.m. EST, with New York looking for its first postseason victory since 2011. Minnesota last won a playoff game three years ago, needing overtime to defeat the New Orleans Saints. Anyone wagered the game Friday,the 13th, overcame triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13).<\/p>\n
