LANDOVER, Md. (Interstat) — The Detroit Lions, looking to rebound from a last-second divisional loss, visit the Washington Commanders on Sunday in an NFC matchup at FedEx Field.

The Lions (5-3) enter the contest after a 27-24 home defeat to Minnesota last Sunday, a game in which quarterback Jared Goff threw for 284 yards and two touchdowns. Detroit has been inconsistent, mixing dominant wins over teams like Tampa Bay and Cleveland with double-digit losses to Green Bay and Kansas City. Goff has been the engine of an offense that has shown the ability to score in bunches.

Washington (3-6) is looking to halt a four-game skid, most recently a 38-14 home loss to Seattle. Quarterback Jayden Daniels provided a spark in that game, accounting for over 200 total yards and a touchdown, but the Commanders’ defense has struggled mightily during the losing streak, allowing an average of 34.5 points per game.

Despite the disparity in records, Washington has been installed as a 7.5-point favorite by oddsmakers. The over/under is set at 49.5 points. A projection from Interstat forecasts a 28-20 victory for the Commanders.

The game represents a critical juncture for both teams. The Lions aim to solidify their standing in the playoff race, while the Commanders desperately need a win to keep their fading hopes alive. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. EST on Sunday, November 9.
