2. Lions

Could David Blough be in for his first career NFL win on Sunday when the Detroit Lions take on the Vikings?

Rivalries tend to sometimes bring out the best in teams, and even though this will be Blough’s first time facing the Vikings, there’s nothing the Purdue product would love more than to play the spoiler role for Mike Zimmer‘s squad.

After coming up short on Monday to the Seahawks, the Vikings will be facing heavy pressure to earn a win in Week 14 since they currently control their own destiny when it comes to earning a Wild Card spot.

Technically, Minnesota could still overtake the Green Bay Packers for the NFC North title since they only trail their rivals by one game at the moment, but since the Vikings currently hold the final Wild Card spot at the moment, it only seems fair to assume this will be their best scenario.

No one needs to remind the Vikings of how disappointing it was to watch the playoffs from home last year after coming up short in Week 17 during a must-win game against the Chicago Bears.

Minnesota finished on the winning end during their first meeting with Detroit back in October, but if the Eagles are lucky, the Lions will find a way to pull through this time around.
