Week 12 – vs. Minnesota Vikings

It was easy to joke about the Lions losing on Thanksgiving Day being as much of a tradition as them simply playing on Thanksgiving Day just a few years back. The Lions now have a three-game Thanksgiving winning streak they will put on the line when the Vikings come to celebrate the holiday this season.

Even better, the Lions have dominated in all three wins, two of which came against division rivals Green Bay and Chicago. Can they run the streak to four in a row and be able to claim all three of the other NFC North members as victims. I think they will.

Prediction: Lions win

Lions’ record: 7-4

Next: Week 13 at Saints
