What will it take for the Minnesota Vikings to defeat the Detroit Lions in week 12? Here are the keys to success for the important Thanksgiving matchup.

Short weeks are always tough in the NFL. Not being able to have a lot of time to gameplan for an opponent or practice those techniques can lead to being severely unprepared for the specifics of a tough opponent, much like the Minnesota Vikings will have on Thanksgiving.

After fans stuff themselves on turkey with all the fixings for Thanksgiving, they can tune in to watch the Vikings take on the Detroit Lions. First place in the NFL North will be at stake in this game, making it very important Minnesota walks out with a win.
