LIONS (+9.5) over Vikings
Has Brad Childress ever given an interview in which it didn't look like he should be staring through penitentiary glass holding a black phone?
(Wait a second, did I just pick the Lions? That was an accident. Hold on.)
Vikings (-9.5) over LIONS
Much better. I have two Adrian Peterson thoughts. First, he combines my [...]

If there ever was a game that the Lions could pull an upset off and stop this 19 game losing streak, it’s right here.
Don’t get me wrong, the Vikings are substantially better than us. But to me it comes down to one player: Adrian Peterson. Farve may be getting all of the attention, but [...]

It really doesn't make much sense, but the numbers don't lie. The Detroit Lions had the NFL's worst defense last year, but they did a very good job of controlling the league's best running back. Not just once, but twice. The Minnesota Vikings' Adrian Peterson rushed for more than 100 yards in each game against the Lions last season, but he didn't score a touchdown...

The Browns take on the Denver Broncos tomorrow at 4:15 at Mile High. The defense was impressive in the first half against the high powered Vikings attack and then crumbled in the 2nd half as Adrian Peterson lit up the Browns. The offense failed to achieve any rhythm and scored one touchdown at the end [...]

It's nearing the end of the week, and the weather is turning crisp in SE MI. Which can only mean we are closing in on the next Detroit Lions game, and the latest Lions Congregation roundtable. As always, Reverend Spielman of The Church of Schwartz has passed on another set of 3 questions to the Lions blogosphere, with this week's Q & A focusing on the Minnesota Vikings...

1. Adrian Peterson (Minnesota Vikings) @ Detroit – The only rush defense worse than the Browns, is Detroits. The Lions just got lit up by Mike Bell. In other words expect Adrian to run all over Detroit almost the same as he ran over the Browns. It would be shocking if AD didn’t eclipse 125 [...]

After a mostly dismal performance in week one, the Lions return to Detroit for their home opener against Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings.
One of the keys to showing improvement from week one will be the need to stop Adrian Peterson. Saints back-up Mike Bell torched the Lions for 143 yards. Peterson is considered the [...]

What is the best metaphor for the Lions after having been defeated by Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints and now face Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings?
Out of the frying pan and into the fire seems best suited.
While the outcome of last week's game was similar to games played last season, there is a consensus the Lions have improved. Special teams had two good returns...

If the Vikings were any other Super Bowl contender, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
We wouldn't be getting antsy about taking the Lions seriously. We wouldn't flirt with the idea of putting our money on Detroit plus 10.5. And we certainly wouldn't be wondering why Peter King picked Minnesota to lose.
With any other contender, we'd be counting up Adrian...

I had a disappointing Week One, going 1-1.
It's even, but that's not what we're looking for.
Nothing much stands out this week. I've got no real GOLD to go after. There are a couple of games I feel real confident about, though.
Game 1
The Minnesota Vikings are 10-point favorites over the Detroit Lions. They should easily cover that, even though the game is @ Detroit...
