Line: Minnesota -10

Head-to-head: Minnesota 63-30-2

Last season: Minnesota won 12-0 at home and 20-16 in Detroit.

Notable: Vikings RB Adrian Peterson ran for 111 and 105 in the two games with no TDs.  Lions WR Calvin Johnson caught 4 passes for 85 yards and a TD in the first game and 3 more for 84 yards and a TD in the second.

Last week: Minnesota beat Cleveland 34-20, Detroit lost to New Orleans 45-27.

Notable: Peterson, Peterson, Peterson. He ran 25 times for 180 yards and 3 TDs. Lions QB Drew Stafford was 16-of-37 for 205 yards no TDs and 3 INTs in his first NFL start.

How they stack up:

Minnesota offense: 5th in points, 15th in total yards: 30th passing, 1st rushing

Minnesota defense: 15th in points, 11th in yards allowed: 10th against pass, 19th against run

Detroit offense: 7th in points, 26th in total yards: 19th passing, 30th rushing

Detroit defense: 32nd in points, 32nd in yards allowed: 31st against pass, 26th against run

Fantasy spin: Expect Vikings QB Brett Favre to pass for more than 110 yards this week but Peterson may still have more rushing yards. Vikes rookie WR Percy Harvin could also flourish in Motown.

The skinny: This one could be ugly early and late.
