Why Minnesota Vikings Will Win

Oooooooh, the Lions are playing well with four wins over the last five games.

The win at the Giants was strong – the offense was almost perfectly balanced in that and the +3 turnover margin helped. Who else did they beat over the run?

Detroit got ripped up by Chicago’s running game, but it’s 0-7 against everyone else when allowing 107 rushing yards or more, and 4-0 when allowing fewer.

Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison will combine for 120 yards.
