You are Locked on the NFL, your daily NFL podcast, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day.

Well, hello. I am Matt Williamson, former scout for the Browns, did some college recruiting scouting for the pit panthers for three years, at Akron as the director

of football operations, and I was at ESPN as an analyst for 10 years, and I've been pretty

much talking to you guys ever since. As we do every Friday, by the way, we had a really good

conversation with the former ESPN colleague yesterday, Mike Sando, check that one out. That was a good,

a good episode as they are

every Thursday. As I do every Friday, though, during the season is I go to our friends at my

bookie. I'll tell you about them in a bit. And I look at every game when we chat about them

quickly and I give you my takes with and without the spread. Now, if you want much more detailed analysis, you know,

lions at Vikings, go check out Lockdown Lions. Check out Locked on Vikings. You know, that's how

it works around here. We got everything you need on the Lockdown Network. So, the Lions do

travel to Minnesota, and there are six-point dogs on the road. Stafford didn't play well last year, last week.

He's now without Tate. I do think they will run the ball quite a bit. But I think the Vikes

D's rounding back in the shape, although they do have some injuries. I would imagine that Riddick

will basically be their new slot receiver some of the

time. They have some other options, but I think that's the best move, and that gives Kerry

on Johnson more time, with them both on the field together. I also think that Xavier Rhodes

will probably follow Jones, but it could be Goladay.

I mean, I think it'll probably be Jones, but I think it's going to be tough sledding in

Minnesota for the Lions O.

On the other side, haven't yet heard, I've been kind of waiting to see what was going on with

Stefan Diggs, haven't heard that for sure.
