The Washington Redskins and the Detroit Lions will both be gunning for a victory on Sunday when they meet at Ford Field.
Washington Redskins vs. Detroit Lions
When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 23, 2016
Where: Ford Field, Detroit, Michigan
TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX.
LINE: Lions -1. O/U: 49
PREDICTION: Redskins 24, Lions 23
Oddsmakers currently have the Lions listed as 1-point favorites versus the Redskins, while the game’s total is sitting at 48½.
Wide receiver Marvin Jones has cooled down from his hot start, but still found the end zone in back-to-back weeks despite reeling in just six total receptions for 47 yards. The 26-year-old is expected to see a healthy dose of cornerback Josh Norman on Sunday, so perhaps Stafford will shift his focus toward veteran Anquan Boldin or Golden Tate. The 36-year-old Boldin collected his third touchdown this season last Sunday and has eight scores in his last five encounters with Washington while Tate erupted after a sputtering start to haul in eight catches for 165 yards and a touchdown versus Philadelphia last week. Detroit was a 31-28 winner in its last match at home against the Rams. They covered the -2.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 59 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.
Team record: 3-3 SU,3-3 ATS
Detroit is 6-3 ATS in its last 9 games
Detroit is 6-3 SU in its last 9 games
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Detroit’s last 6 games
Cousins will look to Pierre Garcon and Jamison Crowder to exploit Detroit’s 23rd-ranked pass defense, although fellow wideout DeSean Jackson’s involvement in Sunday’s game is in question. Jackson missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday with a sore shoulder, sustained in the second half against the Eagles. “I want to play and I think I’ll be able to, so I’ll be all right,” Jackson said. “It’s nothing too serious, but still enough to hold me back from practicing. They’re giving me the time I need to get it right, so hopefully I’ll be ready for Sunday.” In their last action, Washington was a 27-20 winner at home against the Eagles. They covered the +3-point spread as underdogs, while the combined score (47) was profitable news for OVER bettors.
Team record: 4-2 SU,4-2 ATS
Current Streak: won 4 straight games.
Washington is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games
Washington is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games
The total has gone OVER in 10 of Washington’s last 11 games
