Entering this game the Washington Redskins and the Detroit Lions are both feeling pretty good about their respective teams. For the (3-1) Lions they have already matched last years win total thanks mainly to their high powered passing attack. For the (2-1) Redskins a stout defense and power running has propelled them to the upper echelon of the NFC. The oddsmakers at SportsBetting.com have made the Washington Redskins -3.5 home favorites.
The Redskins suffered their first loss in Week 3 17-24 against the N.Y Giants at home as – 3.5 favorites. Now after a bye week the Skins have had two weeks to lick their wounds and prepare for the Lions coming into town. Detroit is coming off a huge 37-27 win against the Chicago Bears as +2.5 dogs at home.
The Detroit Lions passing game must be respected and this week will feature a key match-up between Detroit WR Roy Williams vs Washington CB Carlos Rodgers. Lions QB Jon Kitna should have time to throw and Rogers might not be able to contain Williams who is one of the best WR in the NFL. The Lions however will need to be less one dimensional and be able to run the ball effectively. Internet sportsbook SportsBetting.com has the TOTAL pegged at 45.5 points.
Washington should have no problem running the ball effectively with Clinton Portis who has been using his blazing speed to cause havoc on opposing defenses. Redskins QB Jason Cambell has had his moments but has been pretty erratic. Cambell will be facing a soft Detroit secondary but this week he will be without his best target in WR Santa Moss who is injured.
Will Cambell be able to burn the Detroit DB’s? Are the Lions really an NFC contender? EinsteinPicks has done their homework for this game and has come up with a 400% GUARANTEED pick that will earn you big cash!
