Lions vs Vikings Prediction:
Division games are never a guarantee, but the darn Vikings are playing great football and I just don’t see the Lions having much of a chance at all. These two NFC North teams will be battling away as usual rivals do, but Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings should be well rested after their bye week and the emotional win the following week against the Packers. As I predicted before the season started, the Vikings will make it to the Super Bowl this year and Brett Favre is proving me right. The Lions are coming off another loss last week against the Seahawks, and their defense has been really struggling. Although the current football point spread for this game is 17, I predict the Vikings offense will be far too much to handle against the Detroit’s defense. Vikings win by a wide margin and put up lots of points.

Vikings Beat Point Spread and I take the Over
