Vikings vs. Lions Week 16 Expert Picks And Predictions

(CTN News) – The NFC North showdown between the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings is set to take place on Sunday afternoon.

This game holds significant importance as it involves the only two teams that still have a chance to win the division. However, the Lions currently hold a commanding position in the season, with a three-game lead and only three games remaining.

The only scenario in which the Lions would lose the division is if they lose all of their remaining games and the Vikings win all of theirs.

Nevertheless, there is a captivating turn of events in this scenario. Two of the remaining three games for both teams are against each other. What initially seemed like a peculiar scheduling coincidence has now turned into a captivating development in the race for the division title.

If the Vikings manage to sweep these two games, their chances of winning the division become very realistic. This is especially true when considering that the Lions’ other game is against a formidable Cowboys team, while the Vikings’ third game is against a struggling Packers team.

Can the Lions avoid any potential drama in the final three weeks of the season and secure the division title on Sunday? Or will we witness some intense football in Weeks 17 and 18?
