Sprotsbook odds have been up and down for the Lions-Vikings matchup all week with the pending potential suspension of Vikings defensive tackles Pat and Kevin Williams.

Both tested positive for a banned NFL substance, appealed their suspensions, and found out on Wednesday that they were facing four-game suspensions. On Wednesday, they filed a lawsuit to try and block it and the judge accepted their appeal. For now, it looks like they will be able to play this week, which is awful news for the Lions.

Sportsbook
odds will probably list the Vikings as a 9.5-point favorite if they play. Bad news Lions, you’ll be 0-13 after this week.

Just one more week of action before we get to examine the BCS Championship Game odds, Orange Bowl odds, Sugar Bowl odds, Fiesta Bowl odds and Rose Bowl odds.

Basically, here is what we know: Cincinnati is going to the Orange Bowl to face the champ from the ACC (Virginia Tech or Boston College). Penn State is going to the Rose Bowl to face USC, while the SEC Championship and Oklahoma, if they win the Big 12 Championship, will go to the BCS Championship Game. That should put Texas in Fiesta bowl, probably again Utah, and then Alabama will face Ohio State – or maybe Boise State – in the Sugar Bowl.

Some intriguing matchups and hopefully some good sportsbook odds. Utah will get killed.
