Lions vs Vikings Prediction Week 3

Early NFL predictions and picks are from ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI).
Lions: 28.4% to win
Vikings: 71.2% to win

It's hard not to like the Vikings' offense with Justin Jefferson leading the way. Minnesota's MNF contest will be telling, especially against a Philadelphia Eagles team that barely scraped by Detroit in Week 1. I expect the Lions to keep this close, even on the road. Bet Detroit +7.5 (-115).
