Lions at Vikings Depth Chart Preview W3 2022
After a dismal defeat to the Eagles on Monday night, the Vikings roll into town with a 1-1 record. Losing this one at home against the Lions would be a sizeable blow, even if the Lions appear to be good enough to not make this a 'trap' game. Will the Vikings do what they usually do against Detroit?

*My Thoughts*
I am currently out of town and have not had the time to make a proper analysis, so I will skip to the prediction.
Prediction: Vikings 26, Lions 21
After the consensus overreacted to a win over the Packers, I think the appropriate response is to not overreact to the Eagles loss. Cousins and the Vikings generally play much better at home on the noon slate against a weak defense, and I think the defense will be in for a better week than expected even against an improved Lions offense.
