1u – Jared Goff (DET) u0.5 Interceptions (-135 @ DK)

 

This is a scary market, but this 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. Lions offensive line should have a field day with Washingtons defensive line here. Lions are near double digit favorites and should comfortably run the ball throughout. I don’t see a need for Goff to force balls in tight windows here. Montgomery will be back for Detroit which will only improve the run game and take a load off of Goff. This is a uneasy market, but I like this one quite a bit for Saturday.
