NFL Week 9 preview capsules

Lions at Vikings, 1

Line/OU: Vikings by 6½; 41½

What a difference two weeks make. The Vikings came out of their bye 5-0 and filled with optimism. Their secondary was dominant, and QB Sam Bradford seemed to be in an offensive system he could thrive in. But now they're 5-2, and Norv Turner, the offensive coordinator, resigned midweek without a real explanation.

Eagles at Giants, 1

Line/OU: Giants by 2½; 42½

Philadelphia's three losses have come by a combined 14 points. Rookie QB Carson Wentz has been efficient and has made the offense competitive, but he has lacked the big-play ability to attack a team and put it away.
