While Minnesota has owned this series in recent years, a meaningless game last season was won by Detroit while the Lions took care of Minnesota in an earlier game this season by a mere 3 points on the road. That one went into overtime.
The Vikings last three games have been lost by no more than 10 points (the current spread). The Lions are on a two game skid having lost to two of the best teams in the league, Green Bay and New Orleans. They remain in contention for a Playoffs spot and it this game has all the ingredients for a high scoring affair. Detroit has covered the current OVER/UNDER of 46.5 in 3 of their last 5, scoring 45 or better in games against Denver and Carolina.

Brian Blessing of Don Best TV noted that “What you get with a rookie tournament on the road is costly turnovers”.
That could provide great openings for the Detroit offense.
With Detroit having to face Oakland on the road next week, San Diego at home and Green Bay on the road to close out the season, this is the game they can’t afford to let get away. It should be a statement game. Look for this one to go OVER 46.5.
*Adrian Peterson may not play for Minnesota, and if he does, could have limited field time. Ndamukong Suh will not be available for the Lions.
