The professional bookmakers expect the Detroit Lions to remain the only winless team in the NFL in Week 13. Detroit is a significant underdog for Sunday’s home date with the Minnesota Vikings.
The current line at Tipico Sportsbook sees the Vikings favored by 6.5 points in Detroit. That’s down from the opening line of 7.5 points, a drop that could be attributable to the loss of starting RB Dalvin Cook to injury and the potential absence of CB Patrick Peterson due to COVID-19.
Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions, 1 p.m. ET
- Money line: Vikings -320 (bet $320 to win $100) | Lions +250 (bet $100 to win $250)
- Against the spread (ATS): Vikings -6.5 (-120) | Lions +6.5 (+100)
- Over/Under (O/U): 47.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)
Betting on the Lions to win has been profitable even if it doesn’t translate to the win column that really matters. The Lions are 7-4 against the spread in 2021.
