Profootballtalk.com Picks Detroit Over the Redskins on Sunday
Profootballtalk.com, a very credible site, has picked Detroit to beat the Redskins this Sunday by 17 to 12. Here is the text:
Last week, the Lions had a chance to end an 18-game losing streak against the Vikings.It is scary that NFL Network's talking heads all agree with that assessment, as Detroit scores more than the Redskins do. Everyone who knows something says that Detroit's first win after 19 losses will be against the Redskins on Sunday. Considering how close we came to a loss to the same team which was 0-16 last year I am also worried.
After taking a 10-point lead, the Lions blew it.
This week, a sluggish and sputtering Redskins team comes to town, with a respectable Week 1 loss to the Giants followed by a near-miss win over the Rams that felt like a loss.
If anyone knows how to neutralize Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, it’s the man who knows him as well as anyone at the NFL level — long-time Titans defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, now the Lions' coach.
If the Lions can build another double-digit lead, the ‘Skins might not be able to come back and win. And if that happens, Redskins coach Jim Zorn might not be able to come back to D.C. with his team.
Pick: Lions, 17-12

After hearing what multiple players had to say over this past week, I believe (perhaps naively) that they will not allow the team to lose in Detroit this week. I am actually less nervous about this game than I was before the Rams game. They cannot and will not lose!
