While the Minnesota Vikings (2-3 SU, 2-3 ATS, 3-2 O/U), have looked nothing like the Super Bowl contenders many thought they would be coming into the 2008 NFL season, their problems are almost microscopic when compared to the Detroit Lions’ (0-4 SU, 0-4 ATS, 2-2 O/U).
The Vikings are coming off ’30-27 win over the New Orleans Saints on Monday, that they likely shouldn’t have
earned as Saints place kicker Martin Grammatica missed the potential game-winner late in the fourth quarter.
Minnesota managed to pull out the victory despite the fact that the Saints held running back Adrian Peterson to just 32 yards on 21 carries. Veteran quarterback Gus Frerotte completed 19 of 36 passes for 222 yards and one touchdown and avoided throwing an interception.
The Vikings also picked off Saints quarterback Drew Brees twice and covered as six-point home underdogs.
The Lions are coming off a dismal 34-7 loss to the Chicago Bears as three-point underdogs in Week 5 as starting quarterback Jon Kitna was benched after going 8-for-16 for 74 yards.
