Game Preview: Washington Redskins at Philadelphia Eagles

Predictions: The Eagles have won three straight and in each game have won by 13 or more. It's hard for me to like the Redskins this week as we don't have speedy defenders to handle Vick. I think Eagles win by 20 (please prove me wrong).

Game Preview: Minnesota Vikings at Washington Redskins

Predictions: Everyone thinks the Redskins will roll this game, which we all know, never happens. Redskins win the games they shouldn't, and lose the easy ones. I think the Vikings cover the spread but Redskins squeak one out.

Game Preview: Washington Redskins @ NY Giants

Predictions: This is where I think the wheels come off for our 2011 Washington Redskins. They don't play well in NY, and the Giants now have game film to look at for our makeshift OLine (Willie Smith and Polumbus).

Let the open thread begin.

Game Preview: NE Patriots at Redskins - Betting Trends & Stats

NE Patriots (9-3) @ Redskins (4-8)

Predictions: OK, everyone has the Pats. Can I pour two quick glasses of Kool-Aid? The Colts, COLTS, were one score away from winning last week AT NEW ENGLAND. Second, on this same Fedex Field, Steve Spurrier beat Bill Belichick.

- Shanahan is 5-3 vs Belichick all-time (all DEN obviously)
Vegas Trends - Nothing really of note here
Notes

- I don't see how our secondary can cover Welker AND their two TEs.

Game Preview: NY Jets at Redskins - Betting Trends & Stats

NY Jets (6-5) @ Redskins (4-7)

Predictions: Man, this is another game I would never bet on. Two very unpredictable teams. The Jets rank 20th in sacks, so will that give Grossman enough time not to throw it into the hands of these Pro-Bowl corners? Of course not. I think this turns into a turnover fest and we can flip a coin to see who comes out on top.

Game Preview: Dallas Cowboys at Washington Redskins

A couple notes here. Jon Kitna did not make the trip to D.C. with an illness, so Stephen McGee is Romo's backup. Tony Romo will be the holder for field goals today (insert choke joke here).

Prediction: It's hard to pick the Redskins in this game given the injuries to the OLine. Even if the Redskins keep the game close defensively, the inability of our offense to convert 3rd and longs, which we'll likely be in a lot, will take it's toll on our defense. Cowboys 27, Redskins 9. (please prove me wrong Shanny, PLEASE).

Game Preview: Redskins at Dolphins - Open Thread

Predictions: I've been on a good run with my predictions lately. I really don't know what to say for this game. My gut tells me John Beck gets his first win ever today. Skins win in a squeaker.

Ken's prediction:

Grossman gets the ball to Fred Davis early, and Roy Helu carries the load late to secure a victory. I think the Washington defense will shine brightly this week, reminding fans why they were so highly regarded in the early weeks of the season. Kerrigan gets a sack, one of the Terp corners gets a pick, and Gano heats up. This could be the last good game for us for a while...

If you're in the reading mood, here's a very thorough game preview put together by TheHogs.net including Grant Paulsen and myself. Here's also all of the Redskins beat writers' predictions (mostly Fins).

Game Preview: 49ers at Redskins - Open Thread

Predictions: 49ers 27, Redskins 10. I think the Niners dominate the clock running the ball and John Beck gets injured. Grossman comes in and does OK, which prompts another week of QB debating. I've been rolling the under every week for the Redskins and cashing checks. I'm keeping it going. Our defense can stop 37.5 points. (See what I did there?). The spread should be -9, not 3.5. I'm also loading up on Niners (and to re-iterate, I'm still rooting for the Redskins. It's a way to comfort a loss).

Previous Meetings I was at the last game they played in 2008 at San Fran, where Joe Nedney won the game as time expired. (That was my first article I ever really wrote too).
Head-to-head - 49ers are 14-9-1 all time
- 49ers are 3-1 all time in playoffs vs Skins
Vegas Trends - 49ers are 3-0 on the road
- 49ers have won all their East Coast games
- 49ers are 6-0 ATS this year. Harbaugh loves running score up.
- Redskins have not covered their last 3 games
Notes - 49ers have #1 rushing D in NFL
- Alex Smith only has 2 INTs (95.7 QB rating)
- Alex Smith has 5 fumbles (2 lost) so there's a window there for Rak and Kerrigan.
- 49ers are free money.
- Redskins are statistically horrible coming off a shutout (winless 5 games) since 1993

Redskins at Bills Game Preview and Open Thread

Predictions: Bills 33-17. Let me start with that I hope I'm wrong, but a bad tackling defense against a RB that excels in breacking tackles = TRAINBECK. The Redskins key injuries > greater than Bills injuries. Hopefully some of our young guns step up.

Notes - This is the Redskins first game out of the USA (regular season)
- Haslett was an ILB for the Bills for eight years (2nd round pick)
- The 2 years Chan Gailey was head coach of the Cowboys (88-89), he swept the Redskins
- Shanahan is 5-2 all-time vs Bills
- Redskins have lost last 5 games vs BUF
