Fan Duel: Go with the Lions with the points in Week 3 vs. Vikings
Adam Taylor McKillop writes: "It's hard not to like the Vikings' offense with Justin Jefferson leading the way. Minnesota's MNF contest will be telling, especially against a Philadelphia Eagles team that barely scraped by Detroit in Week 1. I expect the Lions to keep this close, even on the road."
