Kowalski says he thinks both teams will put up 40+ pts. each.
With the Twins down 0-2, it's looking like a Sunday game.

It may be Saturday night before the Lions know when they will play the Vikings at the Metrodome -- 1 p.m. Sunday, as scheduled, or 8:30 p.m. Monday.
The NFL would prefer Sunday but must settle for Monday night if the Twins-A's series goes the distance. Game 4 would be Saturday at Oakland. Game 5 would be Sunday at Minnesota. The Twins have priority over the Vikings in their stadium lease.
"They would like to wait until the latest possible minute to move the game, but we are awaiting some additional direction from both the league and from the Vikings as to what the definition of last possible moment would mean," Lions chief operating officer Tom Lewand said Monday. In 1997, the Bears went to Miami on Saturday and watched the Marlins lose Game 6 of the World Series to the Indians, forcing a Game 7 on Sunday. The Bears stayed in Miami, played Monday night and beat the Dolphins in overtime, 36-33.
"We have at least that bit of history to note," Lewand said. "We don't know if that history will repeat itself yet."
Monday night would be fine by Lions wide receiver Roy Williams. "That's prime time," Williams said. "We wouldn't mind that at all. Maybe that's what this team needs."
