Minnesota Vikings: 3 Bold predictions in Week 17 vs. Lions
1. Vikings finish the year with a win
Coming into the Week 17 contest in Detroit, many are hoping Minnesota ends up losing the game to try and end up getting the best draft position possible in the opening round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
Unfortunately for fans who have those hopes, that’s not how players and coaches think in the league as they personally have their livelihoods and jobs on the line in every game that is played during any given season.
With that said, you would think the Vikings take this game as serious as they would with any other game in the regular season to this point, with the hopes of not only ending a three-game losing streak but ending the 2020 campaign on a high note of a win against the Lions on their home field.
Minnesota is a better team than Detroit and the Vikings will end up heading into Ford Field in Detroit on Sunday afternoon in the final game of the regular season and will take down the divisional opponent to sweep the two-game series between the squads in 2020.
