Learn which TV channel or how to live stream the NFL Week 9 Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings game, Sunday, Nov. 2.

On Wednesday, the Vikings added veteran quarterback John Wolford to the practice squad. On Saturday, the Vikings did not elevate him to the active roster. It means the Vikings will have only two quarterbacks available at Detroit — second-year first-rounder J.J. McCarthy and undrafted rookie Max Brosmer.

The Detroit Lions are rested coming off a bye week, relatively healthy and ready to roll for a 10-game stretch to improve their positioning in the NFC.

The SportsLine Projection Model agrees with two legs of the SGP above, as it backs Lions -8.5 and the Over on 48.5 Detroit covers the spread in 54% of simulations and the Over hits in 58% of simulations. The model is backing Minnesota on the money line, though, as the Vikings win in 26% of simulations to bring value as +368 underdogs.

The Vikings have elevated cornerback Fabian Moreau and tight end Nick Vannet from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.

Daniel Thomas will spend at least one more week on injured reserve with a broken forearm. The Detroit Lions downgraded Thomas to out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, leaving him on IR in his return from September surgery.

Safety Harrison Smith’s 13th trip to Ford Field needs to go better than his 12th, when the Vikings’ chances at the NFC’s No. 1 seed last season were shattered by the freight train that is Sunday’s foe — the Detroit Lions — and the horn that blares inside the stadium after every Lions score.
