Here is a look at the key head-to-head trends surrounding this contest, followed y my in-depth analysis and expert NFL spread Picks.

Despite entering this contest with an 0-2 SU mark, the Detroit Lions haven’t played bad football at all this season and could very well be 2-0 instead of the other way around.

Detroit was robbed on an errant call in their season-opening loss to Chicago and came up just short against Philadelphia on Sunday. The Lions lost to the Birds 35-32 but easily managed to cover the game’s NFL Odds in Football as a 6.5-point home underdog to move to a perfect 2-0 against the spread while the game’s final score played well Over the 41-point O/U total.

The Lions got a jaw-dropping effort from rookie running back Jahvid Best as he became the first rookie in NFL history to record 150 receiving yards, 75 rushing yards and three touchdowns in the same game.

The Vikings are in a spot of trouble NFL betting enthusiasts after falling to the Miami Dolphins 14-10 on Sunday. Minnesota is averaging a pitiful 9.5 points per game this season and failed to cover the game’s NFL Odds against the Dolphins as a 5.5-point home favorite.

Brett Favre completed 22 of 36 passes for 225 yards but was picked off by Miami’s Jason Allen three times in the loss while the game’s final score played well Under the 40.5-point O/U total.
