Game Preview: Washington Redskins at Philadelphia Eagles
by Kevin Ewoldt on Jan 1, 2012 11:00 AM EST
in Open Threads
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).

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.

in Open Threads
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.

| Vegas odds: | Giants -6.5, over/under 46.5 |
| Announcers: | Joe Buck and Troy Aikman |

| Former Redskins on NYG | Devin Thomas, Selvish Capers, Jessie Armstead (consultant) |
| Last game | Week 1 - Redskins 28-14. (Kerrigan TD) |
| Bettings Trends | - Skins are 1-3 ATS vs teams with winning records - Skins are 3-1 ATS vs NFC East teams - Giants are 2-3 ATS at home - Giants have covered their last 2 games - Giants are 1-3 ATS vs teams with losing record |

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.
| Kickoff | 1:00 PM EST |
| TV | CBS |
| Announcers: | Greg Gumbel, Dan Dierdorf |
| Radio: | ESPN 980 (regional station list) |
| Odds: | Redskins +8, o/u 47.5 |
| Not playing | Landry, see comments |
| Former Redskins on NE | Andre Carter (who will be going against a backup Tackle) |
| Head-to-head | - Patriots have never won at DC...ever. 0-1 at Fedex (thank you Spurrier!) - Redskins are 6-2 all-time - 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
by Kevin Ewoldt on Dec 4, 2011 10:00 AM EST
in Open Threads
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.
| Kickoff | 1:00 PM EST |
| TV |  |
| Announcers: | Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts |
| Radio: | ESPN 980 (regional station list) |

| Former Redskins on NYJ | Players: Mark Brunell Coaches: Henry Ellard (WRs) and Mark Carrier (DL) |
| Head-to-head | - Redskins are 8-1 all time and won the last 4 games |
| Vegas Trends | - Jets are 4-7 ATS overall this year - Jets are 1-4 ATS on the road - Skins are 2-3 ATS at home - Skins are 4-5 ATS as an underdog - Skins are 0-2 against AFC teams this year |
| Notes |
- Redskins are 0-2 vs AFC (MIA, BUF) - roadies |

Game Preview: Dallas Cowboys at Washington Redskins
by Kevin Ewoldt on Nov 20, 2011 11:13 AM EST
in Open Threads
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).
| Kickoff | 1:00 PM EST |

| Last game |
Dallas won 18-16 on a late 4th quarter fumble by Rex. Redskins won the last matchup at Fedex last year on their home opener. |
| Betting trends | Redskins are 0-2 against the spread vs teams with winning records. Cowboys are 1-3 on the road but 2-1 ATS. Cowboys are 0-2 ATS vs NFC East teams. Redskins are 1-5 ATS on grass fields. |

Game Preview: Redskins at Dolphins - Open Thread
by Kevin Ewoldt on Nov 13, 2011 11:20 AM EST
in Open Threads
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).
| Kickoff | 1:00 PM EST |
| TV | |
| Announcers: | Chris Myers, Tim Ryan |
| Radio: | ESPN 980 (regional station list) |
| Odds: | Redskins +4, Over/under 37.5 |
| Not playing | K. Fox, check comments |
| Former Redskins on MIA | Tony Sparano was a TE Coach under Schottenheimer's cup of coffee in 2001 Mike Nolan was Def Coordinator from 97-99 Jason Taylor and Anderson Russell (practice squad safety) |
| Previous Meetings | - Redskins beat the Fins at Fedex 24-23 in 2007 |
| Head-to-head | - Dolphins are 6-4 all time regular season |
| Vegas Trends | - Skins are 0-2 ATS as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points - Skins are 3-5 ATS this year - Fins have not won or covered at home this year (NE, HOU, DEN) - ScoresAndOdds said the line should be -10. |
| Notes | - Skins are 1-3 on the road this year (beat STL) - Dolphins are 0-3 at home - This is the stadium Shanny won his last Super Bowl - The George Allen Redskins lost to the Dolphins in that perfect season in 1973 - Redskins Center Erik Cook is the younger brother of Dolphins Guard Ryan Cook. |

Game Preview: 49ers at Redskins - Open Thread
by Kevin Ewoldt on Nov 6, 2011 11:30 AM EST
in Open Threads
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).
| Kickoff | 1:00 PM EST |
| TV | |
| Announcers: | Kenny Albert, Moose, Siragusa |
| Radio: | ESPN 980 (regional station list) |
| Odds: | Redskins +3.5, Over/under 37.5 |
| Not playing | TBD |
| Former Redskins on SF | Carlos Rogers, David Akers |
| 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
by Kevin Ewoldt on Oct 30, 2011 1:05 PM EDT
in Open Threads
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.
