This is a 10* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER on the OVER between the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions.

Detroit is just 1-5, thanks in large part to a minus-8 turnover margin and 18 turnovers. That said, the Lions are coming off their best effort of the season and are loaded with star-quality talent; also note that Detroit has won two of the last three vs. the Vikes. Minnesota though will be looking to take advantage of a Lions' defensive unit which is allowing opponents to complete a whopping 73.7 percent of their passes; that's a recipe for disaster for the home side as Minnesota can also pound the ball with star RB Adrian Peterson, suffice it to say we're expecting Detroit's defense to once again have its hands full today. But as mentioned off the top, clearly the Lions won't just be rolling over here, they play with revenge after a 26-16 loss to the Vikes at TCF Bank Stadium in Week 2; also note that Lions' star receiver Calvin Johnson has returned to form of late, exploding for 166 yards on six catches last week. We feel that the stage is definitely set for some offensive fireworks this afternoon; note that Minnesota has seen the total go OVER the number in six of its last 11 vs. teams with losing records, while Detroit has seen the total sail above the posted number in six of its last ten in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent. Play on the OVER.
