Last week the Redskins were able to negate the Eagles pass rush with short drops and quick passes, as well as a healthy dose of running. The Lions are not likely to take the same approach. They'll look to go downfield, which means big tests for Will James but also means more opportunities to get pressure. If the defensive line can get to Kitna we could be in good shape, if not it could be a very long day. On offense, will we see the McNabb from the first 3 quarters on Monday or the one from the 4th quarter? Who knows? Since I've picked wins in the first two weeks and that hasn't worked out I'm going to other way and predict a 24-17 defeat to Detroit.
