Detroit Lions vs Minnesota Vikings Football Preview (10-20-2024). As NFC North racing intensifies this week, 4-1 Detroit Lions meet division rival 5-0 Minnesota Vikings for an NFC North showdown that includes all available betting lines and predictions. Here is our preview for this matchup with all available odds for this contest.
After their tough loss against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Minnesota Vikings returned home for an interconference clash against Detroit Lions. Once again they proved themselves unstoppable at home this season - winning four out of their five home games by an aggregate score of 127-29 with an astounding +63 point differential second only to Kansas City Chiefs.
The Detroit Lions are coming off of an impressive win against the Dallas Cowboys, in which Jared Goff threw 315 yards and three touchdown passes while David Montgomery ran 80 yards for two scores on 80 attempts. Aaron Jones remains sidelined due to an injury in his hip area.
Minnesota looks to keep their perfect record intact after beating the New York Jets 23-17 on October 6. Their defense has been stellar, but Aidan Hutchinson suffered a left tibia injury during an attempt at sacking Jets quarterback Sam Darnold during their match-up.
With Hutchinson out, the Vikings may struggle to generate pressure against Detroit. Detroit should use this opportunity to penetrate their secondary, though their offense should score enough points to remain undefeated.
