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.

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.
