I have an oddly rare good feeling about a big game. I think this Viking's team is tougher, more in the physicality/be tougher culture and lead by amazing coaches on both sides of the ball. But Sammy is the X-factor. I think Detroit is going to bring the kitchen sink and Darnold is going to have to deal quick. And KOC will gameplan for it and we get to see Good Sam ball. B-Flo is going to bring it exotic on the Detroit offense. Ive never heard opposing D-coordinators recently talk about the Viking's O-line 'moving people off the ball', but I've seen pressers of D-cooridnators of the Jets and 49ers that have said that.
Minnesota gets up quick early and garbage yards later its not this close: Vikings 28, Lions 20.

When I was a lad, we’d always go hunting on the days the Vikes played the Lions, for years it was about as sure of a win as there was… :cool: :angel:
Ha, yeah I was superstitious sometimes when I was young with the games. I'd quit watching for 10 minutes to see if that helped, lol. Or take my .410 and walk our property looking for woodcock or partridge....and then check back in.

I hope you are right. The thing that scares me the most is their offensive line. We will be able to tell in the first 2 Lions offensive series if the Vikings can stay in this. If their OL is mauling the defense and they are breaking off 6,7, 8 yards runs at a time and Jarrod Goff can sit back in the pocket and make a sandwich, it will be a long day. If Flores magic can keep them from their 12 play 10 minute drives, I think the Vikings can win it. But if that OL starts controlling the game..it will be a lonnnngggg day.
No doubt, and very possible.

Just remember, the last time the Lions played in Minnesota, they won 30-24 by shutting down our run game and daring Nick Mullens to beat them. He almost did, passing for 411 yards. But, as he often does, he threw 4 INTs. The last came on a potential game winning drive at the 5 yard line. Vikings also played without Jordan Addison who left the game early with an ankle. Brian O'Neill didn't play at all, nor did our best corner Byron Murphy and our 2nd best corner Blackmon. Our two starting corners in that game were Akayleb Evans and Andrew Booth. Yeah, no shit.
I remember that game all to well. They pulled me back in and then that last f-ing HORRIBLE interception by Mullens broke me. I was done for the year after that. Such a horrible year loaded with injuries and bullshit.
