Our Staff Prediction for Vikings at Lions
The VikingsTerritory collective staff prediction for the Minnesota Vikings date with the Detroit Lions is ready.
Minnesota can improve to 6-6 after Week 13 if they knock off the 0-10-1 Lions, whose highpoint in 2021 was a tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The writers at VikingsTerritory predict the Vikings will win their sixth game of the season. Last week, we picked the Vikings to win by two points over the San Francisco 49ers. Minnesota lost by eight.
