Why are Lions favored over the Vikings?

Why are the Lions favored to win over the Vikings? I get the injury situation, but seems pretty even to me. 
Vikings have the better team outright, and aren’t missing any starters with the exception of TE Irv Smith. 
What gives?

@Sidehatch

 Lions have been playing pretty good lately. 

Also, they're only favored by 1 so it's basically a Pick em. 

They're afraid of the coach

Because this incredibly overchieving and total luckbox of a team...is due to get Cowboy waxed again 

@Sidehatch

 Lions are overvalued right now a little after a A+ performance against Jacksonville. At same time Vikings are 9-0 in one score games so they have been what people would say is very "lucky"

tough game to bet could see an argument made for both sides. 

Because they have a minus sign next to spread number and the other team has a plus sign.

It's really that simple to comprehend who is the favorite in any sport, not just football.

Vikings plan on resting players ? 

Vegas siding with Detroit.  And they're gonna get every single Joey six pack to bite on the vikes at plus money    You can’t win literally every single coin flip as minny has done this year.  Their luck is off the charts.  They’ve been Outgained in Seven of the 12 games so far.  Hell, the freakin jets just Outgained them by almost 200 yards.  They beat Miami but were Outgained by almost double.  You can’t have half the yards and still win. Just not possible.  They did though.  Don’t fall for the plus money.  Best of luck 

This sets up bad for the lions.  Vegas did this and got away with it when the cowboys throttled them. 

You're OG so respect.. but you wasted your time on this totally not funny nor helpful post? Cool..rude to asking OP bro

Lions oline is one if the best.  Vikes dline giving up runs to everyone.  Cam danztler is expected to come back.  Cb has been a guy off the practice squad so defense has been struggling.  Division games are always a toss up.  

@IsThisReality17

 This is bait IMO.  Vikings have the offense to sustain drives vs this Detroit defense.  Longer drives will equate to Goff forcing more throws.  Vikings are top ten in giveaways and takeaways.  I’m personally laying off this game.  

Typical Pros versus Joes game...sometimes the public wins and someitmes they don't.  Play this game at your own risk.

Its a fishy line-That's why Detroit will cover

They beat Jags 

Jags beat Baltimore 

They’re at home

People suspect Cousins 

Suns -2 vs Boston last night same line 

Vikings are 10-2.  Lets get that out of the way.

They are also horrible statistically, in almost every measure.  Especially the last trailing 6 weeks or so.

I have them 30th in the NFL in the last 6 weeks in terms of overall power rankings.

Just another side of the story...
