4. Lions vs. Vikings

Through two months of action, the NFC North is making a strong case for being the best division in the NFL, and football fans should be in for a treat when the Detroit Lions host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

Even though the Lions have plenty of reasons to feel frustrated over the outcome of Monday’s game to the Green Bay Packers, if Detroit were looking for a positive factor, it should be they have what it takes to compete with some of the best.

Does this mean the Lions will be able to carry this momentum over Week 7, and hand the Vikings a loss to continue making things interesting in the division race?

When taking into consideration how much pressure Minnesota was dealing with a few weeks ago, Mike Zimmer must be thrilled with the way his team looked last weekend after defeating the Philadelphia Eagles.

If the Vikings can get a similar performance from Kirk Cousins on offense, the Lions will certainly have their hands full when it comes to keeping Minnesota in check.

Between Cousins looking to continue playing at a high level and Matthew Stafford helping his team bounce back, this game has the potential to see all sorts of scoring from both teams
