Aaron Jones – Rushing Yards: OVER 57.5 (-112) 

Aaron Jones will be Minnesota's feature back on Christmas, as Jordan Mason is out for Week 17. That means Jones gets the juicy matchup against Detroit all to himself. The Lions have allowed four different running backs to go over 57.5 rushing yards in their last four games, allowing at least one 57-yard rusher in all three contests. They bottomed out last week, giving up 230 rushing yards on 27 carries to a middling Steelers' rushing attack. This team is just too banged up to reliably stop the run right now. Jones should have no trouble eclipsing 57 rushing yards here.

Jahmyr Gibbs – Rushing Yards: UNDER 76.5 (-110) 

The interior of the Lions' offensive line has been decimated by injuries this season, and it's really impacting the running game. Since his 219-yard explosion in Week 12, Gibbs has been held to under 69 rushing yards in four straight games. He's averaging 37.75 rushing yards per outing in that span. I don't think that's changing against Minnesota. The Vikings held Gibbs to 25 yards in nine carries the last time these two met. Gibbs will do damage as a receiver, but he should have a tough day as a runner.

Amon-Ra St. Brown – Receptions: OVER 6.5 (-105) 

Amon-Ra St. Brown always seems to get up for games against Minnesota. He has gone over six catches in four of his last five games against the Vikings, including earlier this year, when he caught nine balls against MN. I. think the Detroit's rushing attack is going to have a tough day, which means we should see even more St. Brown than usual. At close to even odds, Brown offers great value on Christmas.
