From their game against the Falcons to their game against the Packers —Vikings contain multitudes.

Minnesota was blown out by a winless Atlanta team. Then, as hardly anyone predicted, the Vikings went on the road and beat a Packers team that is contending for the playoffs and possibly the Super Bowl.

The Vikings are now 2-5. With more hope for their season since the win over the Texans, the Vikings return home to play the Lions.

Detroit was streaking before the team got blown out by Indianapolis. It will be interesting to see which version of the Lions shows up on Sunday.

It should be a good matchup. Here are the Vikings Wire staff predictions:

I think this game really comes down to one thing: Will the Vikings be playing against Matthew Stafford at quarterback or Chase Daniel? If Stafford plays, I think Minnesota loses. And Stafford could very well play. Lions 28, Vikings 17.

Playoffs here we come! OK, not yet, but I like Minnesota a lot in this matchup. Dalvin Cook is going to run wild! Vikings 27, Lions 13

The Vikings are coming off of their most impressive win of the season against the Packers last week. Although the secondary is extremely banged up, I still think the Vikings come out on top in this one. It sounds like Matthew Stafford will play if he clears COVID-19 protocol, so I wouldn’t be shocked if he has a solid game. It’s going to be fun watching Everson Griffen and Adrian Peterson again, even if they’re not in the right jersey. The Vikings get it done and get their first home win of the season. Vikings 27 Lions 16
