- Minnesota Vikings are allowing just 15.2 points per game (3rd in NFL)
- The Under has hit in 4 of Minnesota’s first 5 games
- The Under has cashed in 3 of Detroit’s first 5 games

- Minnesota Vikings lead the all-time series 80-43-2
- Detroit Lions won 30-20 when the two teams last met in January 2024
Detroit Lions Form
Detroit head to Minneapolis seeking a victory that would improve their record to 5-1 and send them top of the NFC North.
The Lions opened the season with a 26-20 overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams, only to then suffer a 20-16 defeat when they hosted Tampa Bay a week later.
They have not lost since though, winning three consecutive games to sit second in the highly-competitive NFC North, one game behind their opponents on Sunday.
Detroit started this run with a 20-13 win in Arizona, before returning home to down Seattle, 42-29.
The Lions then made it three-in-a-row with their most impressive win to date, blowing out Dallas 47-9 on the road despite losing star edge-rusher Aiden Hutchinson to injury.
Minnesota Vikings Form
Minnesota return from their bye week still sitting top of the NFC North thanks to a perfect 5-0 record.
The Vikings kicked off the campaign on the road and got off to an ideal start as they beat the New York Giants, 28-6.
Over the next two weeks they then sent a message to the NFL as they knocked off two of the best teams in the league at home.
Minnesota downed San Francisco in their home opener, 23-17, before shutting down CJ Stroud and the Houston offense in a 34-7 blowout of the Texans.
The Vikings then edged division rivals Green Bay in a hugely-important road game, 31-29, before heading to London to beat the New York Jets, 23-17.
Verdict
Minnesota’s defense is backed to lead the Vikings to another big victory in the NFC North.
This unit is limiting points, taking the ball away and shutting down opposition run games – everything you need to knock off Detroit.
