Redskins vs. Lions Spread

Gambling911.com has observed that there were major fluctuations in the Redskins vs. Lions spread with a line move of 3 points in Detroit’s favor.  This one opened at Lions as a PICK and has since moved to -3 at some online sportsbooks as well as the Vegas books.  BetUS.com was holding at Detroit -2.5.  Around 70 percent of the betting action was on Washington in this game.

The Redskins come into this game with a 4-3 record while Detroit is a lousy 1-5.  The Lions have been plagued by injuries in recent weeks.

Last week, Washington beat Chicago by a score of 17-14. DeAngelo Hall became just the third player since 1970 with four interceptions and one returned for a touchdown in a single game.

"It's kind of mind blowing," he said. "I had my mom, my aunt, and my two cousins in the stands. The first ball went to my mom, the second ball went to my aunt and the next thing you knew everybody had a ball."

Washington has already managed to equal its win total from last year.

Detroit had its bye last week.  They lost 20-28 to the New York Giants in Week 6.
