Prediction: Detroit Lions – 2.5
Minnesota Vikings (5-0, 5-0 ATS, 1-4 O/U) will be defeated by the Detroit Lions (4-1, 4-1 ATS, 2-3 O/U) in this NFC North matchup.
The Lions are coming off a significant 47-9 away victory over the Cowboys, having won three consecutive games. Their offense, which is spearheaded by Jared Goff, is a formidable force, averaging a league-high 424 yards and 30.2 points per game. The Lions’ offensive capabilities are further enhanced by their robust rushing game, which is bolstered by the presence of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs.
The Vikings’ defense has been their greatest asset, allowing a mere 15.2 points per game. Nevertheless, the Lions’ well-rounded attack, notably their robust passing game, should be able to capitalize on the Vikings’ 30th-ranked pass defense, assuring them of their chances.
The Lions also held an advantage in this divisional competition, as they had won both of their games against the Vikings the previous season. The Lions’ -2.5 spread should be considered the most advantageous wager in this game as a result of their recent success.
