Pick em.

Lions are playing tonight and will be pulling for them against the Green Slime but anyway, the Schedule makers give the Vikes their first three division games on the road but hey we get to look forward to them all coming into Minneapolis in December to finish the season. I Don?t want to be too big of a homer but if Cousins gets time the Vikes are going to be a tough out and that offensive line played very well yesterday against the Eagles.. Look at the Vikings losses, both on the road but both on grass and cousins took the heat even though pass protection was atrocious, still can?t believe cousins threw pick at end against Packers. I believe the Vikes will win the division if they win this game. Vikes have beat Detroit 3 times but they have improved, they can run the ball better and they have a good defensive line. I?m leaning Vikes cause it?s indoors but I?m waiting to see. Could have a big play in another North game?

Detroit Lions (2-2-1)

Biggest weakness: Run defense


The Lions have showed improvement in almost every area compared with a season ago, but they've struggled against the run. They are allowing 4.84 yards per carry (26th in the league) along with 124.8 yards per game. They allowed over 100 yards rushing in every game the first month of the season and had given up five rushing scores entering Monday night against Green Bay. -- Michael Rothstein ESPN

Dalvin Dalvin Dalvin!

Oh yeah the kid Mattison was a pretty nice third round pick up. He would be a ROY candidate had he been our starter.

Play action should also come into play here..

I am worried that the NFL tries to make one up to the Lions. I would have felt much better had the Lions won that one Monday night..

I also worry about Detroit big receivers against our grabby corners mainly Golladay on Rhodes.. Vikes have sacked Stafford a ton over the years, let?s hope it continues

Who?s talking Lions Super Bowl? Has a team never covered at home after a tie? I only care about this week.

Vikings getting lots of love and hopefully the Boys in desert start giving back a little
