Washington upgraded the all-important quarterback position with Carson Wentz, who threw 4 TDs with 313 yards in the 28-22 Week 1 win over Jacksonville. Washington was 7-of-10 on third down while the defense held the Jaguars to 3-of-12 on third down. Washington is on a 7-2-1 spread run, 8-3 ATS after a victory, and 13-4-1 ATS after getting 350+ total yards in the last contest. Rebuilding Detroit has a good offensive line, rushing for 181 yards in the opener. But this is not a good matchup as Washington had a Top 10 defense versus the run last year in yards allowed and in yards per rush (4.1). And the Lions still have the same old lousy defense, giving up 38 points at home to Philadelphia in Week 1. The Eagles had 455 yards (216 rushing) and went 12-of-20 on third and fourth down. The Lions are 17-33 ATS at home after a game where both teams scored 24+ points, plus 6-17 ATS off a home loss by three or fewer points. NFL favorites like Detroit off of a losing campaign are also 137-211 ATS in conference games. Play Washington.
