Minnesota Vikings -2.5 (-115)
The Lions played well enough to win @ Green Bay on Monday,
but it wasn’t meant to be in the end.
Can this team regroup on a short-week to take on a charging Vikings
group? This line opened +2 MIN at
Pinnacle so the move to the current number is significant. Outside of the two losses @ GB and @ CHI,
this team has been dominating weaker opponents.
Detroit is middle of the pack in terms of quality and they’re not as
stout defensively as the Packers and the Bears.
Vikings are 19-8 ATS as a favorite over the last few years, and this
seems like another spot where they could outperform expectations. I simply don't see Detroit bringing the same effort level they did on Monday Night, which is what it will take to win this one.
