Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings: First half open thread

The Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings face off in Detroit’s penultimate division game of 2019. The Lions have yet to win a game within the NFC North, and the last time these two teams faced off, the Vikings beat Detroit by double-digits—the only team to do that thus far this season.

Appropriately, the Vikings are double-digit favorites this week, as they host the Lions this time around. Minnesota sits at 8-4 this year, holding firmly on a Wild Card spot. The Chicago Bears are still lurking behind them at 7-6, but as long as the Vikings take care of their business, the Bears shouldn’t be a problem.
