The Lions have been a complete juggernaut throughout the season but now it’s time to see if Dan Campbell’s team has what it takes to make a real postseason run and make it to the Super Bowl.

Read our full Washington Commanders vs Detroit Lions predictions for their Divisional Round game
Jared Goff (DET) under 0.5 interceptions (-135)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
This is a scary market, but this prop has value. Goff hasn’t thrown interceptions in back-to-back games since Week 2 and Week 3. Goff is under in 11 of his last 14 games. Washington has only recorded 7 interceptions all year, which is in the bottom 5 of the NFL. Detroit should have a gameplan of running the ball and short passing. The Lions’ offensive line should have a field day with Washington’s defensive line here. With the Lions being near double-digit favorites, it is likely that they will be able to comfortably run the ball throughout. I don’t see a need for Goff to force balls in tight windows here. David Montgomery should be back for Detroit which can only improve the run game and take the load off of Goff. This is an uneasy market, but is well worth the shot based on the odds.
