An NFC North clash of Titans for this Week 7 matchup
This Lions vs Vikings is probably one of the must-see game on NFL Week 7 this Sunday at 1 pm ET.
The two division rivals are set for a huge clash and for the lead of the NFC North.
For this Week 7 matchup, the Vikings are slightly favorite (-125) playing at home and still undefeated. But the Lions (4-1) are undefeated also far from their bases with 2 wins this season.
So, does Dan Campbell has the receipt to take down the undefeated Vikings ?

The Minnesota Vikings are currently undefeated at 5-0 and playing at home, making them slight favorites.
Their defense has been stellar, allowing only 15.2 points per game, and they rank among the top in both interceptions and sacks. However, the Vikings’ offense has faced some challenges, particularly with injuries to key players like Aaron Jones, which could affect their running game.
Quarterback Sam Darnold has been pretty good from now, but the two interceptions in the last two games might rise some concerns. Against a Lions’ defense that only conceded 9 points against the Cowboys in Week 6, this part will be crucial.
On the other hand, the Detroit Lions (4-1) come into this game riding a four-game win streak, including a dominant 47-9 victory over the Cowboys.
Jared Goff has been in excellent form, throwing for over 1,300 yards this season, with standout performances from players like David Montgomery. However, the loss of their star pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson will weaken their defense, especially in applying pressure on Darnold .
Betting markets slightly favor the Vikings (-1.5), but with the Lions’ offense scoring an average of 30.2 points per game, Detroit could pose a strong challenge, especially if Goff exploits Minnesota’s secondary.
This could be a really close game and betting on Lions current momentum could be a good choice.
