Overview
- Kickoff is 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, with Detroit entering at 5-3 and Washington at 3-6.
- Jayden Daniels is out with a left elbow injury and Marcus Mariota is expected to start, while Washington also lost CB Marshon Lattimore for the season and is thin at wide receiver.
- Detroit’s interior protection is a focal point with guard Christian Mahogany sidelined, after Jared Goff took a season-high five sacks last week; safety Kerby Joseph is also out.
- Betting markets list the Lions around -8 with totals near 49.5, and the SportsLine model simulations give Detroit a 69% win probability.
- Analysts broadly pick Detroit in the revenge spot, noting Washington’s strong rushing identity with rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt against a top-10 Lions run defense and a disruptive front led by Alim McNeill and Aidan Hutchinson.
