[QUOTE=Mattyk72;395266]Again this week, no prediction from me. It's worked for the past two weeks so I'm sticking with it.

Let's hear yours.[/QUOTE]

OK, I have stayed away from these threads for almost the entire season, but I feel the need to post this week. I have no doubt we win. We will stop the run take an early lead and will force them to throw. We'll end up with at least 2 int's, including an important late one, and we win 21-14.

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

I'm feeling the 28-17 number myself. Skins dominate the game physically.

I took the vikes with my superstition like mattyk, because it has been working. Heart says other than the brain.

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

redskins win 27-17 in that case i hope i get out alive after we kick the vikings out of the play-offs...again. HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

I sure hope I'm wrong...I went Vikes....why?
They will stick with the run, something other running teams abandoned against us.
We are missing Rocky and there is a dropoff there on D

To win, they must make some offensive coaching mistakes like trying to pass too much and our Oline must play much better for portis betts and especially Collins

Of course it will be close
21-17 Vikes....ugh

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

Pessimistic as I am, I can't help thinking that if we were to miraculously win against the Vikes, the Cowboys shouldn't even bother showing up to Fedex in week 17 - put that one down as a skins win.

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

I dunno, I mean I think we have the talent to win, but I see the vikes d going for a score , and I really fear Peterson putting 200-300 yds on us.

I hope I'm wrong...

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

Depends on how we can handle the dynamic duo in the Vikes backfield. What Jacobs did to us last weekend wasn't a good omen though. Skins can win for sure, but you win games in the trenches like Madden always said and the Vikes have the advantage there. Remember we are further depleted at D with Rocky gone. Sure Blades has potential, but do you think he can handle Peterson and Taylor? Not sure the answer is in the affirmative. We really need to be playing our A game Sunday night and really haven't had an A game for awhile now. Vikes 17 Skins 13

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

vikes are too one dimensional on offense. I was weary to pick us, only because i picked against us last week and we won, but 4 weeks ago i picked these games....

I hope im right this week. Skins win in a very tight one. I think we'll break it open pretty quickly with a short passing game and a few long bombs to santana and they'll have to break away from their running game. we're playing in a dome and our coordinators know we have to jump out on top of these guys quickly so they don't take their game to us...

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

Best chance to win is if Tarvis Jackson throws 3-4 picks, but I think the Vikes coaching staff will have a run heavy gameplan for us. If Jackson throws it will be short stuff or trying to hit guys deep on the fly, nothing more.

I could see that score if Jackson throws INTs, but I don't think we will dominate the Vikes physically in the trenches regardless if they are missing a guy or two. We are a depleted force. Only hope is that Collins has a great game for us which is less than 50/50 in my book.

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

I think Smoot will be good for at least 1 pick, facing his former club. I mean, he was on the sex boat... He will try to extract some revenge. Do you have confidence in Todd to get it done? I suppose as much as Tervaris Jackson from what I saw on Monday night. I still think Peterson is the real deal, and am really nervous about getting scorched on SNF.

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

I have a feeling the Redskins will show up with an outstanding performance against the Vi-Queens. The key is to contain Taylor and Peterson and force Tavarius Jackson to throw. I think the Skins are capable and I think the offense will score just enough points for the victory. I will be a close one.

Redskins 24
Vi-Queens 21

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

I'm not really sure, It kinda feels like a Skins vs. Eagles game to me. When we play the Eagles and have to win, we must stop Brian Westbrook. If we can't stop AP, we are in for a very long day.

Skins 24
Vikings 21
In overtime.

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

Skins Run Defense has given up 2 100 yard rushers this year. Unfortunately, one was last week (Jacobs 130). The "bend, don't break" mentality will not work with Adrian Peterson, as he will exploit holes in the defense faster than sulfuric acid. The front 7/8 are going to have to contain Peterson and Taylor and make Tavaris Jackson beat the Skins through the air...

Fortunately for the Skins, the Vikings pass offense is horrible to say the least. They were only able to come back last week because of how incredibly shitty the Bears have been this year.

The game rests on the shoulders of Todd Collins, who will have nearly ideal conditions inside the Homerdome. He is going to have to exploit the Vikings secondary, especially with no Antoine Winfield (although he's not on the injury report...). Vikes have the #1 rush defense, so if C-Po and Betts can get motoring, it could be a long day for the Purple Faithful.

No score prediction, just hoping for 2 wins on NBC in a row. "Now, here's a guy who likes to hope..."
