Minnesota at Detroit

Over the past dozen years in week 3, visiting teams off a win have covered the spread 75% of the time when playing home teams off a loss. Minnesota is dominating opponents so far in ’03. Both of these teams have already played a common opponent on the road – Green Bay. Minnesota won by 5 while Detroit lost by 25. Detroit has managed just 4.4 yards per play so far this year (missing RB James Stewart badly) while allowing 5.9 per play. Minnesota is clearly the superior team, yet they are only giving 3.5 points. Take Minny to walk away with this one.
