Why Minnesota Vikings Will Win
Oooooooh, the Lions are playing well with four wins over the last five games.
The win at the Giants was strong – the offense was almost perfectly balanced in that and the +3 turnover margin helped. Who else did they beat over the run?

Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison will combine for 120 yards.
