Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:Lions -3 spread★★★

Laying 3 with the better team

Lions are laying 3, a number they have cleared in two of their last six.

The number

A win by 3 or less is a loss on this ticket; it needs a comfortable margin, not just the result.

The decider

Lions' offense meets a Vikings defense that has been stingy; the edge in that matchup belongs to Lions. Lions score 30.7 a game and Vikings allow 12.3.

Situational

Lions are missing Avonte Maddox (CB) — worth a notch of caution.

What breaks this

Vikings' offense meets a Lions defense that has been generous; the edge there belongs to Vikings. Vikings have been the cleaner team with the ball, and in a close game that is usually the difference.
