Detroit at Minnesota

Detroit has gone OVER five games in a row while allowing 31.6 points per game. Pittsburgh lit up the Lions' defense for 481 total yards, including 230 on the ground, as the Steelers won 29-24 and the game sailed OVER a posted high total. The Lions have scored 32.0 points per game in that five-game span, but the defense, primarily the depleted secondary, has been the culprit. Seven of the past eight meetings with Minnesota have gone OVER, and the Vikings are 6-0 OVER their past six Week 17 games. The Vikings have gone OVER five consecutive Thursday games, and they are 4-0 OVER their past four games after yielding fewer than 15 points in their previous game. Detroit is on a 6-1 OVER run against NFC opponents, and the Lions are 6-0 OVER after totaling fewer than 90 yards rushing in their previous game. Take the OVER.
