The emotions of the 2022-23 NFL season continue and this Sunday we will have the actions of week 14 of the regular season, with a day full of games that will be very important for each of the teams in their quest to qualify for the postseason.
There is no doubt that all teams have only one goal: to play the Super Bowl game next February in Arizona, but, to get there, they must first overcome these 4 remaining weeks of the regular season and, most importantly, secure their place in the postseason.
As a divisional matchup, it is one of the most contested in league history, having been contested a total of 122 times. At this time, the Vikings comfortably lead the series with a record of 80-40-2, highlighting the fact that, in the last 10 games played between these two teams, the Vikings have won on 9 occasions.
When:
Sunday, December 11 at 01:00 pm ET at Ford Field Stadium
Moneyline odds:
Lions -136
Vikings +111
Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet the Lions
The Detroit Lions have won 4 of their last 5 games played, and are on a roll after crushing the Jacksonville Jaguars by a score of 40-14 in week 13. A close Thanksgiving Day loss to the Buffalo Bills by a score of 25-28 is all that is keeping Detroit from a streak of 5 straight wins.
The Lions know they have a tough task to qualify for the postseason, as the Vikings have been immense all season long, and there are several NFC teams with positive records, while the Lions have a 5-7 record.
To achieve the task of inscribing their name in the postseason party, the Lions must win all 5 of their remaining games and have the results of other teams go in their favor. It is not an impossible mission, but they have no margin for error from now on.
For the Lions, quarterback Jared Goff stands out, who throws for an average of 64.9% coming from 263/405 passes completed, for 3,022 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions.
Likewise, Lions’ ground game is doing a very good job in the last weeks, being one of the reasons why they come with 4 wins in their last 5 games. Jamaal Williams led this section with 188 carries for 769 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Why Bet the Vikings
On the other hand, we have the Minnesota Vikings, a team that continues to inspire in this 2022-23 NFL season, and, like the Eagles, it is only a matter of time before they punch their ticket to the postseason. Right now, the Vikings are in first place in the NFC North with an excellent 10-2 record.
In addition, the Vikings are on a 2 game winning streak going into week 14 and, what has stood out the most for Minnesota is that they have managed to win in different games where they have started as underdogs.
The Vikings have two strengths this season. First of all, Kirk Cousins has had a great season with a 64.6% pass completion percentage, 18 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions.
On the other hand, on the ground offense, they have Dalvin Cook, who accumulated 927 yards in 198 carries and 7 touchdowns. Also, Justin Jefferson is the favorite receiver for Cousins, who has 88 receptions, for 1,277 yards and 6 touchdowns.
The Vikings come into this game after a 27-22 win over the Jets.
