Washington at Detroit (10/31/2010)

I'm either gonna take Detroit -2.5 or stay away.  I must take back what i said about this team a few weeks back and admit that they're much improved from last year.  Maybe not in the standings but they're 5-1 ATS for a reason.  I had Giants minus 10 vs. the Lions and couldn't believe how Lions threw the ball all over the field.  I can see the same thing happening vs. the Skins.  And yes- the Skins got 4 turnovers from the Bears and still barely won that game.

And Devin:  dogs win 60% of the time in NFL?  where did u get that crazy stat?  because that is so far from true.  maybe they have covered ATS close to that percentage so far this year, but they're not winning more than half of the time.  i've personally studied the rate of dogs winning SU in the NFL and it usually is anywhere from 3 to 5 dogs a week.

This is the best line I could currently find offered for my selection and I think it's the one I'd feel most comfortable going with as well. I will not go beyond this even though I feel that they win by at least seven points.

Detroit -3(+110)

The Skins are one of the best teams in the NFC(?)... they did beat Dallas but who are the 1-5 Cowturds? The NFC is very weak in whole as a conference so pretenders pop up and down each weekend. They beat the Eagles with Vick getting injured in that game and also beat GB in a sloppy game at home. The NFC is so weak that the TB HC said his team is the best in the NFC. Gimmie a break... Wash or TB or anyone else that is not the NYGiants who are the only team in the NFC that are going anywhere.

Detroit is 5-1 ATS and as only a small -1 fav here I expect the SU winner.

The Skins are 0-3 in their L-3 dome games with losses to Detroit, Atlanta and the Rams in week two. They were favorites vs the Rams and Lions in those games.

As a Lions backer here, I'll just watch and enjoy as McNabb and company give away the game to the Lions.

This is a sucker game and the suckers are taking the Skins. The Lions will win by at least 7 points and I'll be back here after the game.
