Vikings vs Lions Prop #1: Jared Goff Passing Yards

Jared Goff has been on a heater in his last seven outings, throwing for 20 touchdowns against just one interception. He’s also gone over the 286.5 threshold in three straight occasions, which is his passing yardage line for this contest.

Jared Goff has a 77% Comp pct and 90.9 QBR vs Vikings blitz under Brian Flores.

Lions scored 30+ in all 3 games

Earlier this season against the Vikings, Goff was oh-so-close to reaching the 287 mark, tossing for 280 yards and two TD’s. In his career, he’s 6-3 against Minny, throwing for at least 257 yards in his last six meetings. He’s up against a defense that’s also 243.6 passing yards per contest, fifth worst in the NFL. John Hyslop’s Vikings vs Lions same-game parlay features Goff having a big night.

• Vikings vs Lions Prop Pick: Jared Goff over 286.5 passing yards (-115); risk 1 unit at DraftKings

Vikings vs Lions Prop #2: Justin Jefferson Receiving Yards

It’s hardly a surprise that Justin Jefferson has been phenomenal yet again this season, as he’s second in the NFL with 1,479 receiving yards. His line is set at a hefty 97.5, but that’s a mark he’s eclipsed in three of his last five affairs.

Prior to only picking up 81 yards against Detroit in their previous matchup, Jefferson had put up monster games against his divisional foes. In six of his previous seven battles, he’s had at least 124 receiving yards, with a high-water mark of 223. He’s also up against an undermanned D that’s been decimated by injuries and allows 250.4 passing yards per outing, second worst in the league.

Vikings vs Lions Touchdown Scorer Props

The Lions’ Jahmyr Gibbs has the shortest odds to find the end zone first at +340 and has the smallest odds to record a TD at any time at -320.

Vikings vs Lions Prop #3: Amon-Ra St. Brown Anytime Touchdown Scorer

If we are selecting Jared Goff to throw for a lot of yards, let’s pair him up with his top receiving option in Amon-Ra St. Brown to find the end zone. He’s found pay dirt twelve times on the campaign, which is tied for second in the NFL. He’s also recorded TD’s in three straight outings.

Amon-Ra St. Brown confirms he had food poisoning and threw up for the first time in his life before Sunday’s game vs. the Bills.

— Brad Galli (@BradGalli) December 18, 2024

The last three times he’s faced Minny, he’s also found the end zone, picking up at least 106 yards in all three duels. At -110, he’s has longer odds than the top-three players on the board, giving you a bit more value.
