Lions Wire editor’s thoughts/predictions
The Lions Wire editors have once again aligned their predictions, with both picking the Lions to leave Washington with a win.
On the latest episode of the Detroit Lions Breakdown podcast, Episode 129, Erik Schlitt discussed why he believes this game favors the Lions and why they will come away with a 24-17 victory.
Jeff Risdon made his prediction in his Week 12 Football Meteorology article at RealGM, calling for a Lions 36-17 win. Here’s Risdon’s reasoning:
The Lions have held the lead in every game this season. Somehow they are 3-6-1. Washington has not held a lead since Week 6. Jeff Driskel and the Lions offense is doing well enough to ravage a bad Skins defense that cannot get off the field. I see weeks of Detroit frustration being exorcised on the FedEx Field turf.
