This is a huge posted total based on last week's results, but Detroit's defense will be ready as the teams vie for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Minnesota's defense is underrated, as the Vikings have allowed only 18.2 points per game in their past nine games. The Vikings are 6-0 UNDER after totaling more than 250 yards passing their previous game. The Minnesota defense is No. 2 in the NFL, yielding only 88.1 rushing yards per game, and the Vikings are No. 16, allowing 331.8 total yards. The Lions are No. 3 defensively, allowing 97.0 rushing yards per contest. Everyone expects a shootout, but the teams will be slightly more conservative with so much on the line. Take the UNDER.
