Lions are 3 point favorites vs Minnesota next game

Our Minnesota Vikings opened up as 3 point underdogs in their upcoming game versus Detroit. The Lions are fresh off of a 20-17 victory over the Packers. I feel like we are getting no respect around the league. A win in Detroit will get us a little more respect going into the Buffalo game . 6-0 feels awesome ! I just hope our offense can improve a little bit and be less predictable come Sunday . Skol Vikes !!!

That line will move to at least 4.5 with the vast majority of public money going on the Lions. Deservedly so.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Lions -6.5 by the time Kickoff happens

Deservedly so ? You seem to have no faith in our squad at all . We are 6-0 . We clobbered Green Bay and went to Chicago and beat them down. I think we’re going to win deservedly!

Indeed. It is hilarious IMO. Saw a headline on NFL .com, Are the Giants and Vikings legit?

We have beaten the media darling Packers and Bears. 2-0 in the division.

Come on man…GB beat our ass for 3.5 quarters and we caught Chicago in a monsoon. I mean, I’ll take the wins…but let’s keep it a buck.

With the way the offense is playing and the fact they’ve played the football equivalent of the Washington Generals the last 4 games…the Vikings shouldn’t be favored vs REAL competition until they actually beat someone.

If they somehow go out and house the Lions and Buffalo, they’ll get respect.

Oh really? You wanna bet on that? It won't go past -4.5 unless the Vikings announce Murray is not playing. It could well close 3 or 3.5.

Public is going to HAMMER the Lions. line probably won’t hit 6.5, but it also wouldn’t surprise me.

Kyler's played 4 complete games and has been dogshit twice, the D just gave up 150 rushing yards to the Colts, and we're going on the road to face Jamyr Gibbs and one of the best balanced offenses in the league. I'd favor Detroit too. Our D will slow their O down some, but I'm wondering how this crapfest offense is going to score enough.
