minnesota vikings 20 vs detroit lions 30

ANALYSIS

The Vikings look to continue their win streak as they head to Detroit in an expected shootout.

The Lions offense has played very well as of late, scoring 28+ in each of their last 4 games. They have also won 4 of their last 5 with their loss being by just 3 points to the Bills. In last week’s 40-13 destruction of the Jaguars, Jared Goff threw for 340 yards and 2 TDs, connecting with Amon-Ra St. Brown for 114 of those yards and both touchdowns.

The Vikings are 10-2 on the season and sit comfortably atop the NFC North. In last week’s win over the Jets, Dalvin Cook ran for 86 yards and a TD on 20 carries. Justin Jefferson got locked up by Sauce Gardner for the most part, but still managed 7 catches for 45 yards and a TD. One could consider it lucky that the Vikings even won the game, as they had 287 total yards of offense to the Jets 486.

Minnesota are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games. The total has gone OVER in 14 of Minnesota’s last 20 games. Minnesota are 9-1 SU in their last 10 games. Minnesota are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against Detroit.
