The Minnesota Vikings host the Detroit Lions on Sunday as the Lions hope to avoid a sixth straight loss.

NFL football betting odds have the Vikings listed as heavy 17-point home favorites.

The Lions lost at Seattle 20-32 in Week 9. QB Matt Stafford completed 22 of 42 passes for 203 yards with two TD strikes and five interceptions.

The Vikings sat out with a bye week after winning in Green Bay 38-26 in Week 8. The Vikings sit atop the NFC North.

The Lions average 16.6 PPG and give up 29.6 PPG, while they are 0-4 SU on the road where they average 17.8 PPG and allow 37.8 PPG. They are 2-6 ATS this season.

Minnesota has the 14th-ranked passing game, which should punish the Lions’ 31st-ranked pass defense. RB Adrian Peterson should also put up huge numbers against their 17th-ranked rush defense.

The Lions are 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine meetings.
