Detroit Lions vs Minnesota Vikings Prediction & Picks - NFL

Prediction published on 10/18/24, 1:00 PM by Simon Day in NFL Picks

The undefeated Minnesota Vikings face their toughest test of the season on Sunday, as they host the 4-1 Detroit Lions at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Vikings will be fresh off their bye week, but face a Lions team playing some of the best football in the entire NFL. Last week, Detroit thrashed the Cowboys 47-9 with a scintillating display on both sides of the ball. However, a season ending injury to star defensive end Aiden Hutchinson took the shine off the win and HC Dan Campbell faces a huge challenge in overcoming the loss of his best defensive player. The Vikings 5-0 record has been built on the unexpected form of journeyman QB Sam Darnold. The former first round pick has slotted seamlessly into the Minnesota offense, and with the help of weapons such as Aaron Jones and Justin Jefferson, he has turned the Vikings into an elite offensive unit.

Our Detroit Lions vs Minnesota Vikings Prediction

This has all the makings of a classic game. Both teams are humming on offense and putting up big scores almost every week. However, we think that, despite the Vikings' 100% record, Detroit have the stronger overall squad. Of course, the injury to Hutchinson is a huge concern for Detroit, but we think they still have the defensive players to slow down Darnold and co. The bookies make Minnesota marginal favorites for the victory, but we are taking the Lions to pull off a road win and move to 5-1. Our prediction for Minnesota Vikings vs Detroit Lions is: Lions to win, +108 at DraftKings.
