NFL Week 3 Preview, Prediction: Detroit Lions Vs. Minnesota Vikings

Detroit Lions (0-2) vs. Minnesota Vikings (0-2)

When: 1:00 p.m. Sunday, FOX

SB Nation Lions: Pride Of Detroit

SB Nation Vikings: Daily Norseman

Breakdown: I don't think anyone figured both of these teams would be 0-2 at this point. The Vikings are better in most aspects of this game but they haven't closed it out yet. The Lions big play offense can certainly hang if things fall right.

Player to Watch: Jahvid Best. He's playing out of his mind to start his NFL career and he nearly carried the Lions to victory over the Eagles. Stopping Best will go a long way to stopping the Lions.

Line: Vikings are 11.5 point favorites.
Prediction: The Lions should not be 11.5 point underdogs. I don’t see the Lions winning but I don’t see them losing by much more than a touchdown.
