Why Bet On Minnesota?

There are a bunch of good reasons to back the Vikings in this NFC North divisional battle. First, Minnesota has won two straight, so they’ve got some momentum going coming into this affair. More importantly, the Vikes have put 28 points or more on the board in each of the last two weeks, including a fantastic effort in their stunning 38-20 smackdown win over Philly this past weekend. Then, there’s the fact that quarterback Kirk Cousins is in good form – for now. Last but not least, the Vikings have a stout rushing attack that ranks third overall and they have an elite defense that ranks sixth in points allowed (15.5 ppg).

Why Bet On Detroit?

There are also some good reasons to back the Lions in this one. First, Detroit is playing at home against a division rival so we should see a good effort out of the Lions. Then, there’s the fact that Detroit has been solid, if not necessarily great, on both sides of the ball in averaging 23.8 points per game (13th) and giving up 23.6 points per contest defensively (18th).  Last but not least, the Lions will be looking for revenge after getting swept in the regular season by the Vikes a year ago while scoring an identical nine points in each loss.
