Detroit at Minnesota

The Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings are both in play to win the NFC North. The top and bottom teams within the division are separated by a single game. That makes a heated rivalry even more intense as each game, especially among division foes, becomes that much more important. The Vikings have already lost a pair of games at home on the season. The defense which carried this team last year that allowed 17.4 points per game, has allowed 24.4 ppg this season. The Lions are just 3-4 but have played well above the line in covering five of their last six and QB Matthew Stafford has led the Lions to three wins in their last five trips to Minnesota and outscored the Vikings by over three points per game in the process. Kirk Cousins' only career start vs. Detroit saw his team score just 17 points in a loss. The Lions will at least be in the hunt with a chance to win. Play on Detroit.
