Vikings vs. Lions Prediction

Tonight’s Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings matchup will be one of the most important games of the season.

The winner of this contest will earn the No. 1 seed in the NFC and control home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The loser of this contest falls to the No. 5 seed in the NFC.

Minnesota enters this game as the winner of nine straight games. The Vikings have been one of the best stories in the NFL this season. The last loss for the Vikings came on October 24th against the Rams.

Detroit will attempt to win back-to-back NFC North division championships. Head coach Dan Campbell has changed the culture of this franchise since taking over. Campbell and the Lions understand how important tonight’s game is.

Detroit has posted a 6-2 record at home this season. The Lions come into the contest as a 2.5-point favorite.The total is set at 56.5.

Sunday Night Football Parlay: Vikings vs. Lions

Leg 1: Aaron Jones Anytime TD Scorer

We will see a high-scoring matchup tonight.

The Vikings have leaned on the veteran this season, especially in the red zone.

Jones has strong value in finding the end zone tonight.

Leg 2: Amon-Ra St. Brown Anytime TD Scorer

As mentioned, we will see a lot of points in this contest.

St. Brown leads the Lions in receptions and yards this season.

I love the odds that we are getting on St. Brown to score a touchdown tonight.

Leg 3: Sam Darnold Over 294.5 Pass Yards

The game script bodes well for this prop.

Darnold and the Vikings will play from behind for most of this contest.

The Lions' secondary comes into this contest banged-up, and will struggle to slow down the Vikings' passing attack tonight.

Anthony Joshua returns against Kristian Prenga as a massive -1200 favorite in his first fight since surviving a devastating car crash in December. With a long-awaited Tyson Fury showdown potentially awaiting later this year, Joshua should pursue an emphatic early finish rather than allow the dangerous but unproven Prenga to build confidence.
