The Vikings narrowly beat the New York Jets in Week 5, downing Aaron Rodgers and friends 23-17 after hopping out to a 17-0 2nd Quarter lead. Minnesota, indeed, survived and advanced.

This weekend, the Vikings return home for a date with the Detroit Lions, the team that was forecasted all summer to win the NFC North and possibly re-visit the NFC Championship.

Vikings fans predict the Vikings will win their sixth game of the season.

Fans handily chose the Vikings, evidently content with the state of play in Minnesota. Beating the Giants, 49ers, Texans, Packers, and Jets will do that.

Here’s how the fan panel sees the score for Week 7:

Alexis: Vikings Win, 34-27
Bruce Johnson: Lions Win, 31-27
Chris: Vikings Win, 31-27
Christina: Vikings Win, 30-28
Eric Horstman: Vikings Win, 27-24
Ivan, Czar of Bohunks: Vikings Win, 33-31

Legend of Corra: Vikings Win, 23-16

Skol Tom: Vikings Win, 27-20
Steve Berglund: Vikings Win, 27-24
Tadd: Vikings Win, 27-24
Thee…Mr. Legend: Vikings Win, 14-3

Mathematically en masse, fans predict the Vikings will top the Lions by a score of 28-24.

CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco picked a Vikings win this week, too, 31-26. “This is for first place in the division with the Vikings coming off the bye and the Lions coming off a blowout of the Cowboys on the road,” Prisco wrote this week as the NFL entered Week 7.

“The Lions lost Aidan Hutchinson with a broken leg, which will impact their pass rush in a big way. Look for Sam Darnold to light it up throwing to Justin Jefferson. The Lions will get theirs as well with Jared Goff playing well. It will be a fun one to watch, but the Vikings will win it.”

Vikings fan Bruce Johnson again mentioned he is only predicting the Lions because he has picked against the Vikings each week — and they keep winning when he does so. Why mess up a good thing? It’s a bit.

The Vikings are favored to prevail by 1.5 points against the Lions. Minnesota has the league’s best defense per DVOA and EPA/Play through six weeks.

The Vikings are the NFL’s seventh-best team per win percentage since Kevin O’Connell took over in 2022. The Lions have taken down the Vikings three times in a row.
