Lions -3.5 (-110) -185

Vikings +3.5 (-110) +154

The Vikings are just 2-4 at home this season and being at home in this game is unlikely to help them against the Lions.
Detroit is 9-5 against the spread this season, putting them in a tie for the best record against the spread in the NFL on the year.

Lions vs Vikings is a classic NFC North rivalry game that will play out once again in Minneapolis on Sunday. In that game, look for the Detroit Lions to win and cover the spread as a favorite on the road against a Vikings team that is likely to play Nick Mullens at quarterback once again. Minnesota has been terrible at home this season, entering this week with a 2-4 home record, and they should struggle in front of their fans once again in this key contest.
