The Detroit Lions are playing good ball right now with an offense that's on fire, but this line does feel a bit strange to me. The Minnesota Vikings have the second-best record in the league and have won 9 of the last 10 meetings against the Lions. Yes, the Vikings have defensive issues, and you could argue they're not as good as their record indicates. However, let's not act like the Lions have great balance, as they're 32nd in both total defense and scoring defense. It feels like we're getting free points with the better team. Give me the Vikings.
