The public has bet the UNDER down to 31.5 (-115) after it opened @ 35.5 (-120).
Pros
- THE BLITZ projects this game to have the 3rd-most plays run among all games this week at 134.1 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects D’Andre Swift to be a more integral piece of his offense’s run game this week (40.5% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (25.6% in games he has played).
- The Detroit Lions O-line ranks as the 3rd-best in the NFL this year at opening holes for runners.
- D’Andre Swift’s ground efficiency has gotten a boost this year, totaling 5.67 yards-per-carry compared to a mere 3.76 rate last year.
- The Detroit Lions have elected to go for it on 4th down 27.9% of the time since the start of last season (most in the league), which usually means more offensive volume, more TD potential, and higher offensive stats across the board.
Cons
- This game will be played in a dome—meaning zero wind, increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and increased passing efficiency.
- The Minnesota Vikings defensive tackles rank as the best DT corps in the NFL this year when it comes to run defense.
