Vikings and Lions in Week 7.

The winner takes the North. Or, at least, claims the top spot for the time being. Minnesota is sitting on a 5-0 record and should be well rested coming off of the bye. Detroit is a healthy 4-1 and fresh off of dismantling the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 47-9.

The Vikings’ depth chart shows off ample talent, especially since the team is getting healthy at critical spots. T.J. Hockenson and Aaron Jones are both top-notch players, so their presence (or, as the case may be, lack thereof), is a notable storyline. Oh, and Detroit has their own turmoil, losing Aidan Hutchinson for the season. Which team can dig deep to pull off the win?

The game will be taking place at 12 p.m. Safe to say it’s going to be an exciting one.
