In a word, no. The Lions are 0-21 against Washington on the road in team history. (Technically they won in Boston in 1935.)

So, you're telling me that they're due? And that there's a chance?

I also think the Lions will win, but 5.5 points seemed like a ridiculously high spread to me. That said, I felt the same about Baltimore +9 (I jumped on it early before it went down), and that didn't work out so well.
