Early Vegas Line: Lions favored by 2

Rams 30 Redskins 16
Lions 44 Rams 6

So what are you saying, the line should be set at Lions -52? j/k

Lions are rested, off a bye also... this is going to be a tough game.

Yeah I think it is fair considering past history and how the lions are playing this year.

Should be a tough game. We have the tools to win, need to get it done.

I thought Vegas odds automatically gives the home team 3 points? If this is true, then Redskins by one.

Skins win easy .. OK seriously I think we score 30 sunday and win by 2 scores. Torain will be a monster and the Lions D is very poor, No run D and their DBs are really weak. McNabb should have a huge game.

Our D will be motivated and will force Turnovers again. Stafford won't beat us twice in a row!


We havent shown anything to make me think we will win by two scores, wait if its 2 FG's i can see it. two td's no way.

Now, I don't want to turn this into a "we get no respect" type thread, because I've really been worried about this Lions game for 6 weeks now... and while I would not be shocked at all if the Lions won at home, do you think the coaching staff may play this up at all this week? I mean we looked pretty bad yesterday, but we're still 4-3 and going to play a team thats 1-5, can't run the ball and is having a hard time stopping the run... is anyone else a little surprised by this?

I mean I think that Detroit is a MUCH improved team (and they did beat Washington last year)...but I'm still pretty surprised by that

Not surprised one bit. Lions are coming off a bye and it will be our second straight road game. Det. has played much better this year. Played the Giants tough and should've beat Chicago. This one will be close.

Line less than 3 is good news for Skins. I think $ will go the way of Detroit tho. Coming off a bye gives a big advantage to the home team.

I think the line has dropped to +1 for the Skins.

we're a better team... dont like it, but who cares

That's home-field-advantage-it's-a-crap-shoot line. I have the Lions winning only because the Redskins are know to have let downs.
