<p>
We have seen some interesting narratives unfold in this market. 62% of the cash is currently with the Lions whilst 74% of the tickets have been invested with the Vikings. Nevertheless, this market opened as a pick-em and very quickly the market moved by three points upward to reinforce action on Minnesota. Currently in Over/Under markets, the number has dropped by just half of a point from the open to its current position to indicate investments on the Under. However, 83% of the cash and 80% of the ticket action is on the Over.

Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions Prediction
After defeating the Los Angeles Rams in the manner which they did, the stock on the Vikings continue to reach a new plateau this season. Minnesota and New Orleans are the two most talked about teams in the NFC currently, that makes them a prime fade target this week be that they are prone to be overvalued and subject to a let-down.
Against the spread, Minnesota has been a cash cow as well. The Vikings have won five in a row against the spread and most of this is due to Minnesota being undervalued by the public against teams they were marginal favorites against. In this scenario the opposite looks to be the case. The Vikings look too easy in this market and usually when that is the case, it means that a correction from the books is coming. The fact remains, Detroit treats Thanksgiving like its Super Bowl and the fact they get this one at home makes them even more dangerous. The Lions outright get the call.
