The Detroit Lions may be nearly 10-point favorites over the Washington Commanders for Saturday night’s Divisional Round playoff game, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be a walk in the park. The Commanders and Jayden Daniels have been outperforming expectations all season long. This season, they’re 4-3 in games they were Vegas underdogs, with their biggest upset victory coming in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals, who were 7.5-point favorites.
And with the Commanders currently riding a six-game winning streak, the Lions cannot afford to take their opponent lightly. Of course, coach Dan Campbell would never let his team lower their guards, so that shouldn’t be a problem.
