Game odds favor the Lions heavily: Detroit -10 spread, -500 moneyline, Commanders +375, over/under 49.5 (via BetMGM). Detroit’s potent offense (30.1 PPG, 2nd in NFL) clashes with Washington’s middling defense (24.4 PPG allowed). Key matchup: Lions RB David Montgomery vs. Commanders LB Frankie Luvu—Montgomery’s 795 rushing yards could exploit Washington’s 4.8 YPC allowed.
Full Game Analysis: The Lions enter Week 10 stinging from their upset loss to the Vikings, where QB Jared Goff threw for 285 yards but a late interception sealed defeat. At 5-3, Detroit sits second in the NFC North, tied with Green Bay, and needs this win to stay in the hunt for the No. 1 seed. Their offense ranks top-3 in scoring and yards (409.5/game), led by Goff’s 2,156 passing yards, 18 TDs, and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown’s 68 catches for 892 yards. However, injuries to OT Taylor Decker (questionable, ankle) could test the line against Washington’s pass rush.
Defensively, the Lions allow 22.3 PPG but struggle on the road (28.0 allowed in three away games). Edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson (8 sacks) must contain Commanders QB Jayden Daniels, the rookie sensation with 2,045 passing yards, 12 TDs, and 45 rushes for 312 yards—his mobility has sparked Washington’s 22.3 PPG offense. Daniels’ dual-threat style (67% completion) mirrors the Vikings’ J.J. McCarthy, who torched Detroit last week.
Washington, 3-6 and third in the NFC East, desperately needs a spark after dropping four straight, including a 24-17 loss to the Giants. Their defense ranks 17th (377.8 yards allowed/game) but shines in turnovers (+5 margin). WR Terry McLaurin (52 rec., 748 yds., 6 TDs) remains a deep threat, but the run game (3.9 YPC) falters without RB Brian Robinson Jr. (doubtful, knee). At home, the Commanders are 2-2, but facing NFC contenders like Detroit (whom they upset 45-31 in last year’s playoffs) brings revenge motivation.
Prediction: Lions win 34-20. Detroit’s superior talent overwhelms a Commanders team outmatched in trenches. Goff exploits soft coverage for 300+ yards, while Hutchinson sacks Daniels twice. Over hits easily with both QBs airing it out. Win boosts Lions to 6-3, solidifying wild-card security; loss for Washington drops them to 3-7, burying playoff hopes.
