The Detroit Lions (11-5) will try to end an impressive regular season on a high note when they face the Minnesota Vikings (7-9) on Sunday afternoon. Detroit had its two-game winning streak snapped in a 20-19 loss to Dallas last week, but it has already clinched the NFC North title. The Lions currently occupy the No. 3 seed in the NFC, but the Cowboys and Eagles are also sitting at 11-5 heading into Week 18, so Detroit could jump to No. 2 if both of those teams lose. Minnesota needs a win and three other results to go its way in order to sneak into the final NFC Wild Card spot.
Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET on Sunday at Ford Field. Detroit is favored by 3.5 points in the latest Lions vs. Vikings odds, while the over/under is set at 45.5 points, per SportsLine consensus.
