Summary:
Minnesota and Detroit have split the last ten head to head games against one another. Detroit has fared well on Thanksgiving Day as of late winning their last three. After starting the season (1-3) Detroit has won five of their last six games. Minnesota started the season (5-0) but have since dropped four of their last five. Early in the season the Vikings were forcing a ton of turnovers which was making up for their offensive deficiencies. Detroit is playing much better football right now and I like them to win a close one at home.
