Week 7: vs. Minnesota Vikings
It seems odd that the season series with the Vikings will be done before the halfway point of the schedule (and before playing the Packers once) but that is the case this year. With expectations being so high for the Vikings nationally, it will be interesting to see if they can get off to a fast start or if they take time to jell (if they live up to the hype at all).
If it is the latter, as I suspect it will be, it is a significant advantage for the Lions to get both games against the Vikings in early.
Prediction: Win (5-2)
