Sport: NFLPick Selection: Lions/Vikings: UNDER
I'm playing on Detroit and Minnesota to finish UNDER the total. These teams combined for 37 points when they met at Detroit in September. That over/under line was below the key number of 44 while this afternoon's line currently sits above that important number. I feel that gives us excellent value with the UNDER. Yes, the Vikings come off back to back high-scoring victories. However, they've also seen the UNDER go a profitable 6-0-1 the last seven times that they were coming off back to back wins. Additionally, the Vikings have seen the UNDER go 19-9-1 the last 29 times that they played a home game with an over/under line ranging from 45 to 49. During the same stretch, the Lions have seen the UNDER go a highly profitable 15-4-1 when playing a road game with an over/under line in the same range. Nine of the last 13 series encounters at the Metrodome have fallen UNDER the total. Additionally, Minnesota has finished UNDER the total in nine straight games off a double-digit win and in seven straight off a road win. Look for more of the same here as the final combined score stays well beneath the generous number. *NFC North Total of the Year
