Minnesota Vikings Can Limit Detroit’s Margin With Late Defensive Stops

By BetPhoenix Editorial Team updated

Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions — Minnesota Vikings +3 for the full game, including overtime.

Minnesota shut out Indianapolis in the second half and allowed 48 net yards in the final quarter, according to the Vikings’ recap. That finish gives the Vikings a recent example of limiting late scoring. Minnesota Vikings +3 (-110) needs that kind of defense to keep Detroit’s margin in check.

Late stops could deny Detroit the points it needs to extend a lead. Minnesota’s defensive finish came against Indianapolis. One good half is a start, but it doesn’t show the Vikings can slow Detroit for a full game.

Detroit drove 71 yards in 10 plays to set up a winning field goal as time expired against Green Bay, according to the Lions’ recap. That late execution challenges Minnesota’s ability to keep Detroit from creating separation when the game is close.

Take Minnesota Vikings +3 if Minnesota’s late defensive resistance can keep Detroit’s margin inside the number. Pass if Detroit’s late finish against Green Bay carries more weight in your decision.
