A week or so ago, the Vikings were a three-point road favorite in Detroit according to many sportsbook sites. But following last week’s action, the Lions emerged as a 1-point favorite, and now that has extended to a 2.5-point favorite.
Normally such dramatic moves result from some injury news, and perhaps that may be the case this time as well. One possibility is the prospect of Lions’ defensive end Romeo Okwara returning to the Lions’ lineup, but that was somewhat expected after being activated last week.
Lions first round draft pick Jameson Williams, who had been out while recovering from an ACL injury, played last weekend on a limited basis and didn’t have a catch.
