Two-Leg Parlay Picks for Vikings vs Lions
1. Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs 1+ Touchdown (-334)
While the NFL odds for this prop at -334 aren’t great on its own, parlay the play with something else and the value takes off.
Gibbs has been electric, especially in the absence of backfield mate David Montgomery, reaching 100+ scrimmage yards in consecutive starts while averaging a scorching 5.61 yards per carry this season.
Per Vikings vs Lions stats, when these two teams met earlier this year, Gibbs torched Minnesota for 116 rushing yards on just 15 carries. The Vikings’ run defense has been slipping recently, ranking 13th in opponent rush success rate since Week 11.
The Lions are projected to run 66.7 total plays this week, the seventh-most among all teams, which should give Gibbs ample opportunities to shine. He’s expected to handle 11.7 rush attempts on average, placing him in the 78th percentile among running backs, and he’s consistently been a workhorse, taking 48.7% of Detroit’s rushing workload this season.
With his elite efficiency of 5.82 adjusted yards per carry, Gibbs ranks in the 97th percentile among NFL running backs, making him a top-tier NFL player prop option to find the end zone. Gibbs is primed for another standout performance against a Vikings defense that has struggled against dynamic playmakers.
Parlay Pick: Jahmyr Gibbs Anytime Touchdown (-334)
2. Vikings WR Jordan Addison Over 57.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Jordan Addison is in an excellent position to hit the online betting over of 57.5 receiving yards against a depleted Lions secondary. Detroit’s defensive backfield has allowed the second-most passing plays of 20+ yards this season (60), and key injuries have only made the Lions more vulnerable.
Addison has consistently proven his big-play ability, logging a reception of 24+ yards in half of his games this season, including a 51-yard catch against Detroit earlier this season. Over his last five games, he has accumulated 354 receiving yards on 30 receptions, averaging 70.8 yards per game, and his connection with Sam Darnold continues to thrive. This guy is a walking NFL news headline.

With the Lions forcing opponents to pass frequently — they rank fourth in opponent pass attempts per game at 38.1 — Addison is set up for a strong performance. As Justin Jefferson commands defensive attention, Addison should see plenty of favorable opportunities to exploit Detroit’s secondary and comfortably surpass 57.5 yards in NFL picks.
