Lions can clinch the North and the Vikings are clinging to the last Playoff spot in the NFC
Go!
Go!
detroit has lost the last two in Minn. The Lions will have to run to slow down the Minn blitzes. The key player may be Addison, he really benefits with JJ back.Vikings defense with lots of blitzes could be problematic for Goff who tends to make turnovers when pressured. Also the Vikes have been strong against the run. I think a healthy OL will give Goff enough protection. Detroit just has too many weapons and will put up enough points to beat a backup QB.
Det 28-13.

If the DL doesn’t get to him, the DBs will get torched. There are a lot of weapons that can make Mullins look better than he is.detroit has lost the last two in Minn.

It doesn't change the fact they are starting Nick Mullins. His only year with significant start time, he went 2-6 with the freaking 49ers, 12 TDs and 12 Ints. He looked decent last week, but that is one week. Detroit will have film and the defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn will be dialing up a brilliant plan to stop him. OK, so maybe there is a chance.
Great bets all around! I have all three by themselves, not a parlay. Love the risk/reward side of DPJ @ +1500. I also have the DET D for an anytime TD. Off topic a bit, I also bet a fun social prop Merry Thiccmas for an anytime TD from an Offensive Lineman in any game this weekend. Its that time of a year for one to hit!!I put in a lotto ticket parlay this week, paying +10200
DPJ anytime score
Jamo anytime score
Det -3
It is a Longshot that both score, but they are on the field a bunch. Also have a little of Jamo score and 80 plus yards.
And 3-0 on the road.Detroit's OL is healthy

I have to admit I'm concerned about this O/D matchup being a little too similar to the Bears game in terms of the running game for the Lions. But the o line wasn't together for that game and the weather is not going to be cold and windy in the dome.
I'm not going to predict a specific score but I think Lions win by 1 to 6 points.
In addition to the above, when the current OL starts, Jared Goff has a passer rating of 121.3.Detroit's OL is healthy

Just heard Mattison will probably play, so in a tough matchup and Mattison will cap Chandler's value, I'm starting to bench Chandler. I had him in everywhere, but not now. I still have to start Chandler in a couple of leagues however. I'm not expecting a lot from Chandler today.Even though I'm starting Chandler in several leagues, I'm benching him in one for Wicks, especially if Reed is out. I have a feeling Detroit will bottle him up today.
Tough running matchup. Mattison only muddies the situation.@TomPelissero
RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) is expected to play today against Detroit, source said, but he’s not 100%. Expect Minnesota to keep riding Ty Chandler.
Pretty interesting take by my guy Warren Sharp
I like more the Minn part vs the Lions pass D.Pretty interesting take by my guy Warren Sharp
Meh...Look at the two games that he used to make Goff look bad. Week 5 of the first year of the rebuild during which the Lions went 0-10-1. And last year week 3 in the mist of the 2nd year of the rebuild when they went 1-6. Not convincing at all. Especially the first year, there was zero offensive talent and a crappy offensive coordinator who was fired shortly thereafter.
Definitely a punishing RB.Montgomery runs like he is excited for contact. Love to see it.
Despite those first quarter numbers, the Lions chose to receive when they won the toss. So they have a 14 play drive that took 8 minutes off the clock. They did a great job in blitz pickup and Goff looked sharp, even when under pressure.Monty!
Great start for the Lions against a Vikings team that's been shutting teams down hard in the 1st quarter.
The team that stood up to them oddly was the Chargers.The Lions run percentage inside the 5 has to be above 90 percent and probably 20 points higher than the closest team. Except for a short stench, it has been effective.
Penalty was from earlier contact.Ball was uncatchable.
A couple of very scary passes he tried.lol Mullens trying to screw up.
