Detroit has trailed in the fourth quarter every game and has pulled out six wins The problem is they don't run the ball anymore (14 yards last wk vs Jax) and the Vikings defense will beat this one-dimension offenses.

The Vikings stopped their free fall last week with a 30-24 win over the Cardinals despite 10 penalties and just 217 yards of total offense. Their defense and special teams accounted for two return TD's to help make up the difference. On Thursday, they will look for revenge against a Lions team that made a 58-yard field goal to force overtime and take a 22-16 win in Minnesota a few weeks ago. Look for the Vikings' third-ranked defense to disrupt Matthew Stafford here today with the short week.

Football is a game of adjustments, and playing a team twice in three weeks will yield itself to a very close game. This time however, I think the Vikings, because of their defense, get the win on Thanksgiving afternoon.
