Vikings picks: Confidence low for trip to Lions’ den
Pioneer Press staffers who cover the Vikings take a stab at predicting Sunday’s outcome against the Lions in Detroit:
DANE MIZUTANI
Lions 31, Vikings 17: This doesn’t seem like a fair fight. There’s an argument to be made that the Lions are the best team in the NFC. It’s hard to imagine how the Vikings even keep it close.
JACE FREDERICK
Lions 41, Vikings 20: Minnesota’s upcoming schedule: Week 9: at Detroit. Week 10: Baltimore. Week 11: May as well be Cancun.
JOHN SHIPLEY
Lions 38, Vikings 10: The Lions smoked a much-better team in Detroit last January. The difference this time is that everyone expects it.
CHARLEY WALTERS
Lions 31, Vikings 10: It’s hard to imagine a tougher start for J.J. McCarthy’s 10-game Vikings QB audition.
