The Detroit Lions are 7.5-point road favorites over the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day Football.
The Detroit Lions looked prime for be a Super Bowl contender early in the season, but the wheel came completely off this team after their Week 8 bye. From 5-2 before that week off to 3-5 after, they are on the cusp of playoff elimination in the NFC. The Minnesota Vikings, on the other hand, have won three strait and will be looking to play spoiler.
Kickoff is set for Thursday, December 25, 2025 at 2:30 p.m. Mile High time at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota and will air on NETFLIX.
My Prediction
According to FanDuel, the Lions are 7.5-point road favorites over the Vikings. Like I said earlier today for the first game, I hate big spreads for road teams against a division rival. Those divisional games usually end up being dogfights most times, so I’d err on the side of caution with this one. The only difference here from the earlier game is that the Lions are still in the playoff hunt and on the bubble. They should be playing with desperation and focus.
Prediction: Lions 31, Vikings 26.
