Minny/Detroit

Even as a Lions fan, I don't see how Minny doesn't win this game by at least 2 TDs. The Lions will not be able to run the ball at all, which leaves a rookie QB to try to make all the plays. The Lions D has zero chance of stopping AP and if they put 8 men in the box, Favre will do what he typically does against the Lions. Anyone think the Lions will make a game of it?

I see the Lions winning somehow, too many losses in a row for it to continue.

Historically speaking Peterson hasnt done well vs the Lions for some reason. Favre also seems to throw some picks when he plays in Detroit. Mix in the best WR in football and the threat of the score from anywhere on the field....throw in a loud crowd if the game is somewhat close throughtout and you might have the recipe for a close game. On the other hand if the Vikes come out quick the crowd could turn on the Lions and it could get out of hand. I cant get a read on the game so I am passing but any outcome will not shock me here. Better games out there IMO but Im sure out there feel they have a read on this game.

PEACE

doesn't favre have his best stats against detroit then any other team historically? Plus now minny can go to the air so detroit is going to have to worry about that too and not just rushing. I can see Favre doing a couple huge play action plays for big yards.
