Folks seem to be missing the obvious here.

Worst case scenario might be a 2 or 3 hour delay getting home. I'd take the 1h26m connection without hesitation.
Agreed. I say worst case scenario is you're stuck at DTW for a couple hours. While not ideal if everything else prices out to what you want you might as well book it. There are flights to MSP all day.
