Love the Lions, they simulated a 4 game playoff run last year and went on a run and I believe they duplicate that on their way to the playoffs. They control their own destiny and Oakland right now has lost their strength, the ability to run the ball is basically gone as Bush has less than 3 yards per carry over the last 3 games. Lions are 5-0-2 ATS in their last 7 as a favorite .5 to 3. Look for the Lions to really push the pocket on Carson Palmer who has made all kinds of mistakes since coming back to the NFL.
Skins can play, the Giants are off a big emotional win and they allowed over 100 yards rushing to Felix Jones look for Roy Helu to have his 4th straight game of 100+ yards rushing. Washington won by 2 TD's in the first match up this year, and I believe they can play against their division rival all day long keeping this one close. Even Rex Grossman should have success as he's been playing well and in week won he threw for 300+ yards and 3 TD's. The Giants are having all kinds of breakdowns in their secondary so both the ground and the air should be open to Rex Grossman and the Redskins. This one will come down to a field goal but I'm going with the more balanced offense and defense in the skins.
