Opening Football Line: Detroit -3 (41)
This one
should be a great one. Detroit can’t run, but man can they whistle
the ball through the skies. Minnesota can’t
throw, but Adrian Peterson looks unbelievable
in the pros. While nobody should be labeling
either team as playoff bound, the Lions
and Vikings should put on a decent show
that the oddsmakers are obviously having
trouble figuring out.
What I love
about this matchup is Jon Kitna against
Antoine Winfield and the Vikings secondary,
which is pick happy and opportunistic.
Detroit torched them for 284 passing
and it’s hard to
imagine the Vikings having the same kind
of success. Tatum Bell wasn’t outstanding
when he rolled the rock, with 83 yards
and a score, but it’s insanely tough
to get room to run against the front four
of Minnesota.
Tavaris Jackson
managed a good game, but was lucky that
Adrian Peterson scampered a bobbled reception
for 60 yards and a score. Take that away,
and Jackson had an unimpressive 103 yards
and one pick. Detroit’s pass defense
gave up 283 yards and their rushing defense
gave up 92 yards to a horrible Oakland
run game. Peterson and the Vikings offensive
line will have their way with Detroit.
Games are
won by touchdowns, and this Detroit passing
game looks lethal. Detroit was lucky
they found room to run against Oakland,
but their fortunes won’t
be nearly as grand against Minny. The passing
game will lose a step as the rush attack
falters.
Meanwhile,
Detroit’s defense is
a mess and the Vikings are disciplined
and tote one of the most dangerous weapons
in the league with Peterson. Expect a close
one as Detroit returns to Earth and Minnesota
squeezes out the upset. Kitna rides on
emotion, and the Vikings will frustrate
him early with a bull-rush from their defensive
line.
