NFL Expert Picks: Can Vikings Rebound In Return Home?

Minnesota will host the Detroit Lions (4-4) in the first of two meetings this season.

The Lions finished (7-9) last season, but are having more success in 2016.

Let’s see who the experts pick to win Week 9’s Sunday matchup.

Look, I love a tie as much as anybody, but I am genuinely worried we could see one for the third consecutive week. The Lions haven't had a tie since Nov. 4, 1984. Their last one before that came back on Sept. 23, 1973, when starting quarterback Greg Landry threw for 91 yards. That's OK Packers QB Scott Hunter put up all of 80 yards.
