00:00All right.

00:01Commanders and Lions Saturday night at Ford Field in Detroit Rock City.

00:04Yeah.

00:05Bobby Wagner gave the team a scare with his ankle injury.

00:08He's going to play.

00:09He got cleared today for Washington.

00:10And then, now this is huge, David Montgomery's been cleared.

00:13He's got the MCL sprain.

00:14He looked fine, I'm told, in practice this week.

00:16He's ready to go.

00:17Now, Kevin Zeitler, one of their starting guards, is out with a hamstring injury.

00:20I'm not concerned about that.

00:22They've got good depth on the offensive line.

00:23Getting Montgomery back, Scott, is absolutely huge.

00:26I give Washington, as you remember, last week, that was the one game where I said,

00:31Washington's a live dog here.

00:32Take the money line on that game.

00:34I like Washington in terms of what their story's been, but this is a different animal, though.

00:38Scotty, this is a different animal to go on the road in that hostile environment.

00:43It is so hard to win in Detroit, but we'll talk more about that in the second segment.

00:46Were they not in a hostile environment at Raymond James on Sunday night in that game?

00:51They had so many fourth downs and they still found a way to win that game.

00:54Is that not hostile?

00:55Yeah, but nothing like playing indoors in Detroit.

00:58By the way, their red zone running game was atrocious.

01:01Let's call it like it is.

01:02Look, I loved it.

01:03I was pulling for Washington.

01:04I think it's a great story, but this is a whole other animal with that Lions, the team

01:08of destiny.

01:09Well, it sounds like you're giving them no chance at all.

01:12Not yet.

01:13Hey, that's a big number, by the way.

01:14We're going to talk about that.

01:15We will talk about that.

01:16All right.

01:17So, like, you know, we all know it's at 9 1⁄2 right now on Saturday night in Detroit,

01:23and then the Texans number is still, you can still get it at 8 1⁄2.
