Pick goes to Detroit Lions on the back of Detroit Lions’s margin work and Minnesota Vikings’s recent momentum. Pressure rate without blitzing is the under-priced edge — it shows up in turnover margin first.

Three things to watch

Form gap. Minnesota Vikings is carrying the cleaner recent sample than Detroit Lions. Streaky teams can carry one more game than the standings imply.
Net efficiency. Detroit Lions has the cleaner scoring profile; Minnesota Vikings needs the game state to get messier.
Scoring margin. Detroit Lions at +4.0 per game vs. Minnesota Vikings at +0.6 — a 3.4-point gap on the season.
