Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions NFL Week 2 Predictions: The Vikings head to Motor City to take on the Lions with a dual threat of Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson looking to keep Detroit’s losing streak intact for Week 2 of the 2009 NFL Regular season Sunday at 1:00 PM EST on FOX at Ford Field. The NFL Week 2 Predictions experts at online sportsbook Bodog.com have the Minnesota Vikings -10 point favorites on the road against the Detroit Lions.
After rolling into the end zone with his first NFL touchdown, Vikings rookie wide receiver Percy Harvin had to absorb an unexpected hit. Brett Favre tackled him. ''I thought we were going to bump chests or something,'' Harvin said. ''He wasn't slowing down. I took it and we fell to the ground. It was a great feeling.'' For Favre, the ageless quarterback with a boundless love for football, career touchdown pass No. 464 was as enjoyable as his first.
Favre looked pleasing in purple, throwing a 6-yard TD pass to Harvin in his debut with Minnesota, and Adrian Peterson scored three touchdowns and ran for 180 yards as the Vikings overcame a sluggish start to beat the Browns 34-20 on Sunday. The NFL Week 2 Predictions experts at Bodog.com have the Vikings vs. Lions Total set at 47 points.
Matthew Stafford’s first start had its ups and downs. The 2009 top overall draft choice was 16 of 37 for 205 yards with three interceptions. Not a good start. ''It was tough. Playing from behind is never easy,'' Stafford said. ''Some of those balls I was throwing, I was just trying to get rid of it and not take a sack. … I'm fine. I've thrown three picks in a game before. Obviously, I don't like to lose. I wish I could play better, but I've got to learn from it.'' Get used to it, you are playing for the Lions.
