Minnesota Vikings - NFL Betting Analysis

In their last game vs the New York Jets, the Vikings won by a score of 27-22. The 5 point win gave the team a non-conference victory. This win was paired with an ATS victory, as they went into the game by -3.0 point favorites. By the end of the game, the teams combined for 49 points, surpassing the betting line of 44. On their way to picking up a 5-point win, Minnesota held a 8-point lead heading into the 4th quarter at 20-12. Through 12 games, the Vikings have an ATS record of 6-5-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 7-5. This week's betting total of 53.5 is higher than the line in their previous games.

As the Vikings prepare to take on Detroit, they have played well on offense, ranking 11th in points per game at 24.1 points per game. Look for the team to put together another strong offensive performance, as they are facing a Lions defense giving up 32.4 points per game. Throughout the game, Minnesota should be able to move the ball through the air, as they are the 10th-ranked team in terms of passing yards. In addition, they are facing off against a defense that has been vulnerable in the secondary.

 

Detroit Lions - NFL Betting Analysis

In their last game vs the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Lions won by a score of 40-14. The 26-point win gave the team a non-conference victory. Detroit also picked up an ATS win, with a point spread of -1.0. In terms of the over-under, the teams combined for 54 points, which surpassed the betting line of 51.

Heading into this week's matchup, the Lions' offense is averaging 26.3 points per game, placing them 6th in the NFL. Look for the team to put together another strong offensive performance, as they are facing a Vikings defense that is ranked 18th in points per game. Throughout the game, Detroit should be able to move the ball through the air, as they are the 32nd-ranked team in terms of passing yards. In addition, they are facing off against a defense that has been vulnerable in the secondary. On the ground, the Lions should be in line for a good performance, as they are one of the better rushing team's in the league and are facing a defense that has its problem stopping the run.
