As a GB fan, it’s tough to face the reality that one of these teams will win this week. But while I don’t like either team, I’ll grudgingly be glad to see Detroit win. Love Dan Campbell. Big fan of ARSB and LaPorta. Hard to dislike Hutch.
And the Vikings? Can’t stand the team. The history. The fans. The state. Sissy boy JJ McCarthy. That stupid grille in Jefferson’s mouth. The memory of John Randle and his idiotic face paint. AP beating his son with a switch. The only thing I like? The Love Boat incident. Oh, and the two consecutive years when they failed to get their 1st round pick card in on time.
Go Lions!

Just a a solid rant fueled by personal feelings and emotions. The state? Ha ha

I lived there for 4 years. That was 3.5 years too many.

Okay... Wow
John Randle face paint=idiotic
Aidan Hutchinson face paint=hard to dislike
No judgement, just find that interesting. I like(d) both guys as a Bears fan.
I think Minnesota puts up a good fight but ultimately comes up short. I think JJ McCarthy surprises people and both Jefferson and Addison have good games. I also think McCarthy will be sacked multiple times. I don't see the run game doing much this week, though I expect the Vikings to try and establish it early.
For the Lions, people braver than I can start Williams. To me, he's a TD or bust WR3, and bust is always more likely. He also likely sees the most of Isaiah Rodgers who has been the Vikings top CB this season. The Vikings like to use S Josh Metellus in the slot, and while that certainly works in the run game and for Flores exotic blitzes, it can really backfire against good slot WRs, and Detroit has the best one. I think the Vikings mostly play tough defense, but eventually wear down, and that's where Gibbs hits a big play dagger.

Rodgers got torched by the Eagles. No reason the Lions couldn't do the same.

Draftkings line moved from -8.5 to -9.5 this morning. Money line has gone from -500 to -535. The Lions should win easy, but there is a chance of a look ahead to next week when they go on the road to face the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year. I know Dan Campbell does everything to get them stay focused on the current team, still it does need to be mentioned as at least a slight possibility. I'm not betting the game either way, just hoping for a Lion win and good health coming out of it.
Or Monday or Thursday or Friday or Saturday

Yes, but Sunday invented it, so it owns it. Besides, that's not the real point is it?
Lighten up Johnny,it's Sunday

Good luck today for your favorite team, unless it's Pittsburgh.

Lions are a great team, and healthy this year. One of the best offensive lines in football. On of the best offenses period.
Minnesota used to be the #1 ranked pass defense but has been roasted lately.
JJ McCarthy is starting his what? 3rd career game? On the road against a divisional opponent.
No way the Lions lose to such an inferior team.
St Brown is a top 5 fantasy player this week.
Maybe a lot of sacks and a defensive score for the Lions in this route.
Lions 38
Vikings 17

JJM looks pretty comfortable out there from the clips I’ve seen.

Flores dialling up some good pressure. I’d have predicted Lions domination, but Division games are always tight.

Wow. Haven't seen a ton of Lions this year. Monty looks heavier than I remember him these days.

Vikings D has looked amazing, so far. Great run D and constant pressure on Goff.

Campbell put Mason on skates on that blitz. Absolutely destroyed him for that sack. Gonna love watching that tape tomorrow

That’s a bad call. Campbell didn’t put his weight on McCarthy

He put his hand down to brace it, garbage rule and call

I think that hit the ground. Incomplete
Man, I don’t know if there’s enough evidence to overturn, though

Yeah, weird play- Addison’s hand underneath stabilized the ball. I don’t know that Arnold ever actually had control, but I also couldn’t tell if the ball actually hit the ground, either.
Once they called it an INT, you can’t overturn it. And it was probably the right call.

I'll be rage dropping this useless POS.
In addition to the above, too many penalties. They are too predictable on offense. They need to get Jamo some touches, some slants, crossers, etc.
It's one of the worst halves the Lions have played all year.
