Prediction
Lions 20, Redskins 17
Moneyline (?)
The LIONS (-175) remain a solid play because of the small price and value vs. the Redskins (+145).
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Lions to win returns a profit of $5.70 with a victory.
Against the Spread (?)
Taking the LIONS to win and cover the 3.5 points is the play. The -105 number is far better value here than the moneyline. They’ll need to win by at least four points.
Over/Under (?)
The UNDER 42.5 (-133) is the bet here. The Redskins averaging just 12 points per game makes this a reasonable wager.
