The Washington Commanders will host the Detroit Lions for their Week 10 matchup, in this NFC East vs NFC North matchup. The Commanders have been downright terrible this season with a 3-6 record compared to their 2024 campaign where they were 12-5. Everything has gone wrong for them, with offensive inconsistencies and defensive lapses, with many players being in and out of the lineup. Their QB Jayden Daniels took a big hit last game, dislocating his elbow, in a blowout loss to the Seahawks. After a trip to the NFC championship round, they are in a position to not even make the playoffs this season, currently sitting at third in the NFC East.
Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions are coming off a loss to the Minnesota Vikings and are now 5-3 for the season, after starting out 4-1. The Lions are 2-2 in their last four games and are 3-0 against playoff bound teams in the NFL, which includes the Packers, Chiefs, and the Vikings. While they have been great at times, there are moments where this team tends to slow down offensively and that could cause a problem for them in the postseason. They sit at 2nd spot in the NFC North and are 1 game away from the top spot.
| Recommended Bets | Fanduel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Sam LaPorta over 44.5 receiving yards | -114 | -118 |
| Marcus Mariota over 0.5 Interceptions | -160 | -130 |
| Jahmyr Gibbs anytime TD scorer | -150 | -165 |
Sam LaPorta is bound to go over 44.5 receiving yards as he had a 97 yard game against the Vikings last week and has crossed the 44.5 threshold 4 of 8 games so far. As of recent, he has been Jared Goff’s essential target and if their receiver Amon Ra-St. Brown is cover, Goff usually looks for LaPorta to gain yardage or score a TD. Looking at the Commanders’ 29th ranked pass defense, this should be a safe bet.
Marcus Mariota will start for the Washington Commanders again, after their QB1 Jayden Daniels is out with an elbow dislocation. Mariota has thrown 4 interceptions in just four starts and going against top-tier competition like Detroit, he may throw over 0.5 interceptions. The Lions are have 8 interceptions against teams this season and 12th in passing defense, which makes this a safe bet.
Jahmyr Gibbs is a threat to score at any given moment, as the Commanders’ rush defense ranks 22nd in the league, with their scoring defense as 23rd. Looking at the Commanders’ weak defensive scheme and Gibbs being the Lions’ top-scoring option, he can most certainly get a TD.
We expect the Detroit Lions to easily beat the Washington Commanders. The Commanders are missing on their QB1 which already puts them at an disadvantage offensively. Defensively, the Commanders are one of the worst teams in the NFL and we highly doubt their chances of slowing down a 11th ranked offense in Detroit Lions.
Prediction: Lions to win the game 28-21
