Updating Vegas Watch: Lions vs Vikings betting line is back on, Lions still 4-point underdogs

Updating the betting odds for the Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings game in Week 9 of the 2020 season.

When Matthew Stafford was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier in the week, most betting groups took the Detroit Lions (3-4) versus the Minnesota Vikings (2-5) off the board.

But after Stafford was removed from the reserve list on Saturday, the folks over at BetMGM have put the game back on the table, though not much has changed.

The Lions are still 4-point underdogs to the Vikings, and the money line shows bettors are favoring Minnesota, while the over/under has dropped 2-points — all likely results to Stafford being unavailable during practice this week.

BetMGM has a lot of various bet lines to wager on in this game, but here’s a look at the basic concepts most would be interested in, including the Moneyline, points spread, and over/under.

Lions +175
Vikings -209

Spread

There will also a considerable amount of player prop bets added throughout the week, including touchdowns scorers, the first player to score, quarterback passing props (yards, touchdowns, interceptions, attempts, completions, longest completion), running back props (rushing yards, attempts, rushing + receiving yards), and receiver props (receiving yards, receptions, longest reception).
