Detroit Lions vs Washington Commanders Prediction

The Lions will be eager to get back on track after two recent losses, and we know what that offense is capable of when it’s humming. That shouldn’t be a problem against a Commander’s side that’s 28th in total defense and 23rd in scoring defense. We just saw what the Seahawks did to the Commanders on Sunday night. The Lions have to be drooling at the mouth for this matchup. I’m not sure how the Commanders are going to get stops to make this game competitive. Give me the Lions in a double-digit victory.
