I'm torn as I want both to lose. However, the Viking fans are more of a pain in the butt so I have to lean with the Lions. Not only that the Lions are likely to fold going down the stretch as usual. Then again it probably doesn't matter as we are in no position to claim the title from anyone. Maybe a tie game would be best.

Lions for the reason stated.
Root for multiple ejections and suspensions.
Dang right GO LIONS !!!
LOL!
It's really a toss-up. Both teams have same overall record (6-4) and division record (1-2).
I doubt it could make much difference, but Detoilet is 4-2 in the NFC, so it may not hurt for them to lose.
The best we can hope for is for both teams to beat each other up. A nasty, physical game they will feel for a week or 3 that will pressure their depth.
GO LIONHEART!
Lion much much more deserving IMO.....they are not quite as dislikeable now that Suh and Schwartz are gone. Vikes on the other hand are always worthy of hate.
Try living where I do and find out who's fans are the most obnoxious. I holding out hope a giant meteor crashes into the Lions stadium today

Absolutely.
Hope the Queens lose their next 6, finish 6-10, and ship that top 10 pick to Philly next spring.
Wow. Hoping people die on Thanksgiving.
Disclaimer....just Lions fans
It's inconceivable to think that Phil Simms could get any worse. But it's actually happening.
Wow what a joke
that's pass interference
Hoooooo boy is that a **** call
Honolulu Blue got hosed
Vikings dodging like 3 bullets on this drive alone
Probably at least a 10 point swing on that schit call
Hate to say it but it's been pretty exciting. D*mn.
Holy balls is this crew ****ty.

I'm listening to the game on the radio.

The six-year-olds' soccer game can be exciting, too, but that doesn't mean the teams are any good.
Seriously?
Lions and I never gave it a second of thought. No matter who they play I cannot or will not ever NEVER EVER root for the Vikings to win. Even if it benefits the Packers I will not openly root for that team.
Nothing would make me feel better than for the trash talking Vikings fan to see their team choke a season away after starting out 5-0. I know it is Thanksgiving and it is supposed to be day of family and being thankful. Screw that. F the Vikings.
Nance : "Lot of excitement around here with the new arena. It was just announced that the Pistons will be moving in and sharing the arena with the Redwings. So all four professional teams will be downtown"
Dumbass : "Pretty awesome"
Except a bankrupt city is being forced to cough up a few hundred million to make it happen when it has zero business being asked to do so. The extra $55 million needed from the public to retrofit the new arena to accommodate the Pistons was a serious kick to the public marble bag.
So **** you Nance and dumbass for being wildly uninformed.
Kick off and get a turnover!
I've got three issues with this game.
1. It's not a good game.
2. Neither team is particularly good.
3. At the very least the winner will have a two game lead over GB with 5 games left to play.
LMAO!
Aw, what a shame. 
I don't know how Viking fans can even root for the Vikings?
Loins!!
Apparently this is Detroit and not the Super Bowl.
I would love to sit down with a 65 year old Viking die hard fan and talk to him. Get a peek into his storm. 55 years of days like today that are simply another log on the fire.

Too ugly!
You may never return!
Thank you, Sam Bradford! You have hosed your team in a game you should have won. Over 80 percent completion rate and you still don't win. Vikings fans will be leaping and bounding off the bandwagon now.
If the Packers can just find some mojo, we still have a shot at winning the NFCN.
The Queens have Dallass next week, and may be very well find themselves at 6-6.
They play the Jags (road) and Colts (home) next, and would likely be favored to win those, but then comes our rematch @ Lambeau, and they finish with the Bares (home).
They could be literally treading water for a couple of weeks before we make 'em slip under the surface. After their 56th consecutive World Championship pre-season, after their 5-0 start that made them become the darlings of the NFL, they once again will be sitting at home talking about what coulda been...
Tsk.
If I'm bold enough to assume a Packers win Monday night, they would be 2 games behind, but literally could control their destiny to a playoff berth.
The Loins have a bit tougher row to hoe with games at the Giants (3 weeks out), and at Dallass the week following, before closing out their season with us at home.
Their next game is in Naw'lins, and that's not a given win. They play the Bears the week after, and although I'd figure them to win that, that would give them only 3 wins in the division. We already have 2 and have 3 more games to play.
With firmly in place, I can see us going into our rematch with Detoilet tied on overall record, but even if we are a game behind, we would of course tie them, and either way gives us the better divisional record.
Simple as pie, and completely conceivable.
Right?
I look at this as a race to see who is least worse among the Pack, Lions, and Vikings. All 3 teams are so deeply flawed that as bad as the Packers have looked, the other 2 teams are nearly as bad. If the Pack only wins 3 more games and goes 7-9, they still could win the division if those wins are vs. Bears, Vikes, and Lions.
In any other division, I'd say the Pack would have no chance, but since you can make a case that every team in the North is among the bottom 10 teams in the NFL, they still have a fair shot at winning it.
