Vikings vs. Lions predictions, odds, distribution, injuries, NFL Week 9 trends
The Detroit Lions bid farewell to the NFC as they host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon for a showdown with the NFC North. Detroit ranks second with a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses, only behind the Packers’ 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. But Minnesota is an underdog with a 3-4 record in seven games. Can the Lions pull off a win at home against the Vikings? Here are details on the odds, players to watch, betting trends and my predictions for this Week 9 game. Odds from DraftKings SportsbookSpreadMoneylineTotalVikings Injury Report Lions Injury Report Jahmyr Gibbs, Running Back, Detroit Lions Detroit did a good job of splitting time between Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery in the backfield, but the more explosive Gibbs took over. He leads the team with 526 yards rushing and has 194 yards to go. Gibbs had his best game of the season on Monday Night Football against the Buccaneers before the bye week. He ran for 136 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries and had 82 yards on just three catches. The Vikings ranked 10th in the league in passing yards per game at 130.4, but their 188 passing yards ranked in the bottom 8 in the league. Gibbs ran for 116 and 139 yards in two games against Minnesota last season, scoring multiple touchdowns in each game. He’ll be eager to face the Vikings at home. Things are not going well for Minnesota this season. JJ McCarthy should return this week after Carson Wentz went down with a season-ending shoulder injury, but who knows how much of an impact he can have against Detroit. The Lions have won each of their past five meetings with the Vikings, including a 31-9 win at home in the season finale last year. Since December 2022, they have won every home game against Minnesota by double digits, with final scores of 34-23, 30-20 and 31-9. The Vikings traveled to Los Angeles last week and defeated the Chargers 37-10, but lost in Pittsburgh as road favorites. The Lions should be able to pull off a win after the bye.
