Ali Siddiqui’s Prediction for Vikings-Lions

The Minnesota Vikings (6-0) and Detroit Lions (4-2) will face off on Sunday at Ford Field. Minnesota won 16-10 last week at home against the Indianapolis Colts. Detroit won 20-17 at home against the Green Bay Packers. If Detroit wants to compete for the NFC North, they need to win this game. A loss would not make it impossible, but definitely would make it much tougher. The Vikings v. Lions in Week 8 Minnesota leads the all-time series 82-45-2, including winning the past two meetings.
