Detroit Lions vs Minnesota Vikings (1:30pm)

The Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings will clash in a critical NFC North matchup on December 25, 2025, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET, with the Week 17 contest streaming on Netflix. The game carries major playoff implications for Detroit, while Minnesota, already out of postseason contention, looks to play the role of spoiler. The Lions enter as 7–7.5 point favorites, but the total has jumped from as high as 43 to as high as 45.5 at several sportsbooks, signaling heavy liabilty for the books.

SportsInsights is reporting over 90% of the tickets and money on the Over for the game. This would help make sense to why the bookmakers moved the total almost two points! Despite public bettors favoring the over, a combination of key injuries, likely game scripts, and matchup-specific dynamics suggest this Christmas Day showdown could be far more defensive than expected. The game is setting up a grind-it-out affair that finishes comfortably under 45 points.

(2x-Rated Members Only) Pick: Under 45 (-110)

🍀Best of luck!
