NFL Week 14 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Vikings vs. Lions

In the absence of other information, it would be shocking to see the 5-7 Lions favored over the 8-2 Vikings. But the line makes sense. Keen followers of the League have noticed the Lions elevated play of late and have rightfully assessed them as the better team– Football Outsiders rates Detroit as the 11th-best team in the NFL per Weighted DVOA, whereas the Vikings rate 22nd.

This is not the only metric that favors the Lions in this game, but it emphasizes the point that the Vikings’ record is not a true reflection of their stature. Of the Vikings’ ten wins, nine of them have come in one-score games, and the team has not improved as the season progresses.
