Adam Carlson of The Viking Age‘s prediction: Vikings sweep
"On paper, it’s hard to get excited about the Lions. They lost their leading tackler and #1 receiver, but Detroit is also one of the streakiest franchises in the league. When they get hot, there is no stopping them. Unless the Lions are hitting on all cylinders when they face Minnesota, I can’t predict a Detroit win against the Vikings."
Lions’ record: 2-10
Next: Week 11 vs. Jaguars
