The Minnesota Vikings, who garnered a critical win last Sunday night, will face another division foe today in the Detroit Lions. The game is scheduled for 1:00pm ET at Ford Field in Detroit, MI. NFL Picks at SBGglobal.com have the Vikings as a big -10 road favorite.
Lions Breakdown: Detroit is staring a winless season right in the face and the prospects for a win are rapidly dwindling. The Lions are now 0-12 after getting smoked by the Titans 47-10 on Thanksgiving and it is hard to see them favored in any of their remaining games (Minnesota, Indianapolis, New Orleans, and Green Bay). Detroit has averaged just 16.9 points per game while allowing a league worst 32.8 per contest.
Vikings Breakdown: Minnesota is now 7-5 and in first place in the NFC North following their 34-14 defeat of the Bears on NBC's Sunday Night Football. The Vikings stout brand of football has led to them winning four of their last five games, the average margin of victory being 11.5 points. Brad Childress's team is holding opposing ground games to just 73.1 rushing yards per game.
The Minnesota defense will be without the services of defensive tackles Kevin Williams and Pat Williams this weekend as they have been suspended by the league for using a diuretic that contained a banned substance. Both players are appealing the suspension.
NFL Picks Betting Trend: The Vikings are 10-0 straight up in their last 10 games as a favorite against the Lions.
