Washington Commanders vs Detroit Lions prediction

The Arizona Republic is predicting a 30-27 win for the Lions over the Commanders in Saturday’s second-round NFL playoff game

Jeremy Cluff wrote: “The Commanders pulled off a 23-20 upset of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road with a field goal as time expired. It’s going to be a lot more difficult to upset the Lions at Ford Field. These teams didn’t play in the regular season. Jayden Daniels could make things interesting for Washington, but the Lions are rested after their bye in the wild-card round and are playing at home. We expect Jared Goff and company to defeat Washington in a shootout, sending Detroit closer to an elusive Super Bowl appearance.”
