SN Bender (Detroit Lions (-5.5) at Minnesota Vikings: The Lions would be eliminated from playoff contention with a loss to the Vikings. Max Brosmer would get the start if McCarthy cannot play. Detroit is 3-4 S/U on the road this season, but the QB uncertainty in Minnesota is too much. Look for Detroit to keep its hopes alive behind the combination of Jared Goff and Jahmyr Gibbs. Pick: Lions 28, Vikings 17): https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-picks-predictions-week-17/d978e065bd0128d1b3b29a2d
SN Iyer (Lions (-6, 44.5 o/u) at Vikings: The Lions' running game will be contained again and Jared Goff will see some pressure. But they have enough playmakers to break through on the Vikings defense, while the Vikings' offense lacks the firepower to exploit a beat-up defense with likely Max Brosmer at quarterback again. Pick: Lions win 24-20 but fail to cover the spread.): https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-picks-predictions-against-spread-week-17/3ecdb38d2014637a2ee2fa2c

CBS Prisco (Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings (+7.5): The Lions need this game to have any playoff chance, but it won't be easy on the road. Minnesota has played outstanding defense. The problem is the Vikings have rookie Max Brosmer playing for the injured J.J. McCarthy. That could be an issue, even against a Lions defense that has struggled. Pick: Lions 21, Vikings 19): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/priscos-week-17-nfl-picks-best-bets-predictions/
CBS Dubin (Lions vs. Vikings prediction, pick: Brosmer is going to start this game for Minnesota. Given what we've seen from him in his short time in the league, that is not at all encouraging for Minnesota's chances. Even against a depleted Lions defense, I don't expect him to have much success. The Lions, meanwhile, absolutely need to put together their best performance of the season here in order to keep their playoff hopes alive. After the way the first game between these two teams went, I expect them to bounce back and put up some points, with Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs and Jameson Williams putting on a show. Pick: Lions 27, Vikings 10 | (Detroit -7.5, Under 43.5)): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/lions-vs-vikings-where-to-watch-pick-odds-prediction-christmas-day/
CBS Dajani (Dajani (Lions -7.5): Max Brosmer is getting the start for the Vikings. The last time that happened, Minnesota was blanked by the Seahawks, 26-0. I'm not saying that's going to be the final score this Christmas, but can you imagine how upset Dan Campbell and his offense are after going 1-4 in the red zone last week in that loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers? I'm not even a Lions fan and I was feeling for them. Detroit has a +78 point differential this season, which is better than five double-digit win teams this year and five current NFC playoff teams. I have a feeling the Lions are going to unleash the fury of a thousand suns on the short-handed Vikings … Prediction: Lions 31, Vikings 14): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-17-picks-our-experts-face-off-on-cowboys-vs-commanders-lions-at-vikings-and-more/

With their season hanging in the balance, Detroit delivers on the road against Minnesota. The Lions' defense has been the NFL's worst over the past five weeks, but getting to see Brosmer on the opposite end of the equation should be a welcome sight for a defense that is desperate to sort things out in the regular season's final two weeks.): https://lionswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2025/12/25/lions-vs-vikings-betting-odds-spread-over-under-prediction/87890452007/

NFL Bold predictions: Christmas Day Game – Lions vs. Vikings (Final Score Prediction: The 8-7 Detroit Lions travel to Minnesota to take on the 7-8 Vikings in a game between two division rivals. The Lions will try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, while the Vikings will look to get to .500 on the season. The Lions are the clear favorite in this game thanks to their explosive offense, but even more so because the Vikings are starting their third-string quarterback, Max Brosmer, who threw four interceptions in his lone start this season. The Lions one weakness all season long has been their pass defense, so if the Vikings aren’t able to exploit that due to their quarterback situation, the Lions should win handily.
