THE HOST team Detroit Lions hopes to win its second win in the 2010 National Football League season when they play against the visiting Washington Redskins on October 31.
Having a woeful 1-5 win-loss record, the Lions are desperate for a win against the Redskins who have a superior 4-3 record against the host team.
With its bad record, the Lions is the underdog against the Redskins who is very determined to get a win and boost its NFL playoff hope further.
Despite being the underdog, the Lions could still pull a surprise and beat the Redskins if sophomore rookie Matthew Stafford will once again have a great game against the Redskins just like what he did on September 27,2009.
A then rookie Stafford lead the Lions to a 19-14 victory against the Redskins after he threw for 241 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions that day.
To win against the favored Redskins, Stafford should perform well and feed with great passes Lions reliable wide receiver Calvin Johnson,  who has 15 catches for 286 yards and three touchdowns over the last three games.
Once Stafford ad Johnson have a great game, chances are the Lions could win the game against the Redskins.
On the other-side of the coin, the Redskins for its part could avoid an upset if the team’s veteran cornerback  DeAngelo Hall and nose tackle Albert Haynesworth will have an A-game against the Lions.
Hall must exert efforts to interrupt the plays of the Lions, do some interceptions and lead his team to victory against the Lions.
Haynesworth must do his best to contain Stafford and not allow him to create great plays for his team.
Although the Redskins are the favorite to win the game, the Lions could give them a run for their money if the host team will play inspired and hard in their game.
