Maybe because the Vikings D just shut down the Rams offense?  Or, Lions Offense looked like crap in Chicago?

Cooler999 · Answer

Well, they scored 21 in the second, then both teams didn't score in the third. 6 points in the 4th...= 27.

They hit their average.....and that's all I'm asking.

Thanks Rowdie for your comments.

Minny on the road looking for revenge? 17-13/20-17 final.

vanzack · Answer

Minnesota D averages 17 against.Detroit D averages 23 against (and that includes a single game with 53)Why am I not going to lay the wood on the under 44.5?See what I did there?

Cooler999 · Answer

Van, I get that. And I know you can use that either way, the same way you can use trends, to counter trends.

It's like the bible. What ever you can quote me, I can counter with another scripture.

I guess you have to just go with what your gambling gut says.

Thanks for taking the time to help me out with this bet.

Have a great Thanksgiving.....and BOL with your bets.

The real question is why didn&#x27;t you lay wood on Vikings "pickem" when it opened?

Right back at you....

See their H2H history.

oldwiseone · Answer

Actually the Vikings defense is different on the road versus home. They are giving up an average of 22.5 on the road, (Pitt 26 and Wash 30) I actually like Detroit in this game and would lean over as I think Detroit hits 24-28 in this game on a short week.

dr tony · Answer

detroit absolutely cannot run the balland most of their offensive stats came against crap teams7 points last week vs bears were scored by the dthey got held out of the end zone by the steelers at home in this domeso the question ishow do u feel the lions wr match up against the vikes dbs

undermysac · Answer

Dr. Tony is dead nails...The BEARS beat the Lions last week. One play cost em...the Trubisky fluke fumbled snap that turned into 7 for the lions. Then there was the missed fg at the end that "would" of led to OT...woulda coulda shoulda.Detroit can&#x27;t run, and they can&#x27;t stop the run.How many people think that Case Keenum is a better QB than Stafford?? Answer not many. But he is.Take the Vikings here if you know what&#x27;s good for you.

JasinoBets · Answer

Lions barely beat the bears and and vikings defense is better then the bears. Then the week before the browns dropped 24 on them at home. Case Keenum been playing consistent and so has the Vikings. Rams offense is better than the Lions and the Vikings held the Rams to a season low in points. Vikings held Todd Gurley to 37 rushing yards.

foxhound · Answer

Lions have been getting very lucky the past two weeks. Remember when they were huge chalk against the BROWNS? There was a point when they were down 14 to Deshone Kizer. They looked absolutely horrible and weren't in the game until the 4th. A week later they barely beat Trubisky and need the late game fluke to scrape by with a push.

They are not going to get lucky vs the Vikings D. And frankly, these guys cannot beat good competition. Viking will win big here.

Rowdie22 · Answer

I&#x27;m leaning over as well on this game.  I&#x27;m a Vikes fan and never bet their games as it just never bodes well when I do.  I believe the Vikes are the better team except at some key positions like QB.  Short week has to factor in the OU as well.  IDK I think 44 sounds about right maybe a little low.

Darshdolan · Answer

The % on the unders in this division is hitting at close to 70%. Also the under has hit 4 out the last 5 games between the viks and lions.

lookingtowin · Answer

News alert Vikes just barely beat the bears 20-17.

Achilles1629 · Answer

News alert: the Lions barely beat the Bears 27-24. Question: what is your point on the 3 point win when the Lions only won by 3 as well? Actually, I have a better question for you: Do you remember a few weeks ago when Detroit went into Green Bay and their record in their last 27 was 1-26? Detroit won that game. So......do you know that Detroit has owned Minnesota as of late and won last year on a field goal late against Minnesota? With this, are the Vikings to just lay over for a team that has no consistent running game and for a team who can&#x27;t stop the run. Wait....I got one more question for ya: who played quarterback in the first half of the Bears game for the Vikings? Wasn&#x27;t it a very mobile, one legged qb names Bradford? Yep. Listen, I understand the whole homer pick thing but at some point there needs to be some reality here on your part. Lions can&#x27;t stop the run, they can&#x27;t run, and they go against a team who is basically playing to nail the division down. On top of that, I wonder if they remember last year at this time when there were some questionable calls at the end that allowed Prater to boot a long field goal for the win? Brotha, enjoy the game.

Talk about shouda woulda coulda.   Lions loss to Atlanta by 3 when
Atlanta was completely healthy and if Tate stays on his feet for 1
yard they win that game by 4.   Loss to Carolina by 3 time ran out
when they were driving for the go ahead TD Loss to a half decent
Pittsburgh team by 5 and if their idiot coach kicks a fg instead of going
for a Td on fourth down turn it over on downs and then give up a ridiculous 90 yard pass play that they for sure fell asleep on so they
could easily be 9-1 the game against a supposedly good defensive
team in NO they chalked up 38 pts late almost came back and
won that one.    Don't sleep on this Lions team they play down
to the weaker teams Vikes are not weak the Lions will be ready tomorrow. Keep this name in mind Kenny Golladay he will at some
point tomorrow show up when least expected.

DogbiteWilliams · Answer

I&#x27;ll take Football Outsiders&#x27; opinion over anyone else&#x27;s.  They rank Keenum 3rd and Stafford 9th for the 2017 regular season through Week 11.https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/qb

ImthatFreak647 · Answer

Have you guys seen Stafford throw the ball this year? I'm a Packers fan but this dude is absolutely slingin it. Especially these past few weeks. Some of his throws into tight windows where only his receiver can reach it are simply gorgeous. Darn near ELITE.

Has Keenum made some plays this year? Sure. Has he helped his team win some games? Sure. But make no mistake the Vikings are winning with a top tier defense and strong running game. Both of which make playing quarterback far easier. Watch Keenum throw back to back picks versus the Redskins. Better yet YouTube his career highlights prior to this year.

Anyone who actually believes Keenum is better than Stafford has lost their mind.
