It's not always a bad idea to pick the inferior team to win a specific ball game, but as far as I can tell, the whole argument for the Lions winning this game is:

1) The Lions have to win sometime

and

2) There's a lot of pressure on the Redskins

And, um, those are both horrible reasons to pick the Lions.

Dan LeBatard made the best argument yesterday on PTI when he said that bad teams beat less bad teams all the time. But if that's the best your going to do when picking the Lions to win, might as well admit that you are picking with your heart.
