The Vikings broke off a four game losing streak straight up and against the point spread with a 30-24 victory over the Cardinals last week as a one point home favorite. They won the turnover battle ending plus 1 on the day, but lost the yardage battle for the third time in the last four games 290-217. The 54 points put up on the board easily crossed the 40 point total line for their second straight OVER.

The Lions returned from a bye week to record their fifth win in their last six games knocking off the Jaguars 26-19 scoring the last 10 points to get the victory. Detroit got a late field goal aided by a boneheaded encroachment call on the Jags on 4th down to get the money as a -5.5 home fav. The cover was the Lions fifth in their last six games after starting the season 1-3 against the spread. The total fell short of the 47 line for Detroit’s fourth consecutive UNDER.

These divisional rivals met back in Week 9 when the Lions got the win and the cover as a +5 road dog in Minnesota. The win by Detroit ended a mini two game losing streak against the Vikings after dropping both games last season. Over the last 10 meetings these two clubs have split the games straight up, but the Vikings have padded their backers’ pockets with a 7-3 ATS mark over the last 10 games. Wagers on the UNDER hold an edge with 60% of the matches falling below the O/U line.

Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions Prediction
Detroit has all the momentum. As mentioned they enter this game with wins in five of their last six. In comparison Minnesota has a single win in their last five games. They should have all the confidence in the world facing a team that they have already defeated this season on the road. The Lions are on a roll at home winning four straight with the only loss this season at Ford’s Field by one point to the Titans in an injury filled game in Week 2. The host is undervalued.
Free Pick:
Take Detroit -2.5
