Sunday: Redskins at Lions

I went on Colin Cowherd’s show, “The Herd,” this week and said Matthew Stafford is playing better than any quarterback in the NFL this season. I stand behind it, and the numbers do not lie. In fact, since Week 10 of last season, Stafford has the best touchdown-to-interception differential (plus-27) in the entire league. He’s doing this without a healthy or legitimate NFL starting running back, behind a young offensive line and with a leaky defense on the other side of the ball. I’m riding Stafford’s arm, though, and think he’s the one who puts an end to the Redskins’ hot streak. This might be the best showdown of quarterbacks this weekend: Stafford versus Cousins. Who knew?

The pick: Lions 31, Redskins 27
