If that NFL betting headline doesn\u2019t grab your attention, nothing can. I\u2019m telling you to pick the Detroit Lions, a team that hasn\u2019t won\u2019t a football game since the 2007 season, against the Washington Redskins this week. Am I insane? Maybe, but here are some reasons why the Lions are good NFL picks<\/a> this week \u2013 some more significant than others.<\/p>\n The Lions are six-point underdogs at home. Even if the Redskins are the better team, six points is a lot for a 1-1 team to cover on the road. The Lions\u2019 \u201cD\u201d should get a boost at Ford Field from the fans. The Lions ran the ball against Minnesota. Last week, against what many online sports betting experts call the best run defense in the NFL, the Lions moved the chains on the ground to the tune of 129 rushing yards. If Kevin Smith and company can handle the Williams wall, maybe he can slip past Albert Haynesworth and the Washington front seven.<\/p>\n Washington isn\u2019t getting to the quarterback. The Redskins are still plagued by their inability to pressure opposing pivots. They have just two sacks in two games. If Matt Stafford doesn\u2019t get hit too much, he\u2019ll have time to uncork a few deep balls Calvin Johnson\u2019s way.<\/p>\n Washington\u2019s offense looks anemic so far. The Lions stayed reasonably competitive against the ridiculously good Saints offense and a solid Viking unit. The Redskins, however, have scored the second-fewest points in the league through two weeks and Jason Campbell just can\u2019t find a reliable red-zone target after Chris Cooley. Even Santana Moss has been invisible.<\/p>\n Washington BARELY handled the St. Louis Rams at home. Really, Washington? 9-7? Zero touchdowns at home to the St. Louis Rams? How can we trust Washington as a six-point road underdog when it squeaked past the horrible Rams by two points at home?<\/p>\n Are the Lions a lock to beat the spread? Of course not. But it\u2019s tough to feel confident in Washington winning by six when we can list five good reasons to pick Detroit.<\/p>\n Take a chance on Detroit in your betting management<\/a> while the gettin\u2019s good this week.<\/p>\n Pick the Detroit Lions, a team that hasn\u2019t won\u2019t a football game since the 2007 season, against the Washington Redskins this week, here is a Week 3 betting preview…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1005],"tags":[17057,17058,9715,3175,1701,17059,834,843,844,850,856,3051,17056,3708,17662,17663,1318],"class_list":["post-13626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-point-spreads","tag-bet-nfl-online","tag-bet-on-nfl-online","tag-bet-online","tag-betting-spreads","tag-detroit-lions","tag-nfl-free-point-spread-pick","tag-nfl-lines","tag-nfl-pick","tag-nfl-picks","tag-nfl-point-spreads","tag-nfl-predictions","tag-nfl-spread","tag-point-spreads-online","tag-redskins-vs-lions","tag-redskins-vs-lions-free-pick","tag-skins-lions-spread","tag-washington-redskins"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13626"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13626\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":109115,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13626\/revisions\/109115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/p>\n
