Vikings at Lions picks: Expect more of the same, which is another Vikings loss
Members of the Pioneer Press sports staff who cover the Vikings forecast Sunday’s game against the Lions in Detroit:
DANE MIZUTANI
Lions 31, Vikings 14
Suddenly it feels like the Vikings are in danger of falling by the wayside in the NFC North. This will be a big offseason for general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah.
JOHN SHIPLEY
Lions 37, Vikings 23
Say this for Nick Mullens, the guy is fearless, possibly to a fault, but he and the receivers will put some points on the board. Problem is, Jared Goff and the Lions will score more.
CHARLEY WALTERS
Lions 30, Vikings 17
Lions full of confidence heading to the playoffs, Vikings’ season ends in pieces.
