Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

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.

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

We continue to roll!

SKINS= 26
viks= 17

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

I went Vikes. I hope I'm wrong but I think they're too powerful right now. Great line and running game, along with a great running D. I just don't see it.

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

We've got the vet team & they're young & up & coming. When's the last time the vikes made the playoffs?

You know we'll give them a fight, I see this game as being very tough, lots of hard hitting. In the end though, despite our missing pieces we have a veteran core & coaching staff that will call & make plays to outlast the vikes. If Wingfield plays we'll throw the wr screen to Moss & make him tackle w/that sore shoulder. On D, I really believe GW will have a plan to stuff the run & then mix up coverages to confuse Jackson.

I really feel we're a better, smarter team even if we're not as physically dominant on both the o & d lines.

Skins 27
vikes 17

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

No Winfield would be huge, HUGE, for us. Apart from last season, we have a pretty good history againt Minnesota with some memorable wins. I know the past means nothing, but still...

I think we can win this to the tune of 27-13. I think we get a TD via either special teams or defense.

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

We put 8 in the box like Chicago we will have a solid chance to slow down the run, as well as provide pressure on a young and shaky Jackson who threw 3 INT's and 1 fumble against this look last Monday. This kid can’t handle the big stage yet and will not beat us with the pass!

Redskins decide to play with the same determination and heart as they have the past two weeks it’s a lock. Their secondary is beatable and if the line holds up Collins will hurt-um with a few long tosses.

Final Score:
Redskins 20 – (2 INT’s, one for Smoot and one for Springs)
Vikings: 13

GO SKINS!

I like the way you think, Cooly1! Welcome to the Warpath!

I agree on the score, but the game will be closer than the score indicates!

Thank you, happy to be here again. I had an account a few years back and had to start over with a new one. I have been keeping up with the site constantly reading daily, and decided I wanted to be a part of this awesome site again.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

No score prediction from me.... but skins win

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

Skins 23
Vikes 21

Peterson will have a long TD run and Jackson will turn the ball over at least twice. I think the 9 in the box will control them 95% of the time but Peterson or Taylor will bust through a couple of times and only Landry will be there to protect the endzone.

yup bout time for the D to get a td (was fletchers the only one weve had this year?) and the special teams is due for their first of the season. every prediction ive made this year has been off so . . .

24 - 13 skins win. man this game is going to be awesome!

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

I say Collins opens up the field a little bit with some nice play and also that Portis breaks his first big run of the year against this Vikings defense.

24-21 Washington Redskins

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

Skins- 28
Vicky's- 17

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

My heart is with the Redskins, but my head says the Vikings. After watching Brandon Jacobs gouge us for a buck thirty, I shudder to think what AP will do to us.

Not only that, but young, inexperienced quarterbacks like Tavaris Jackson rarely offer the Redskins any sort of advantage. Kellen Clemons, Chris Simms, all the way back to Clint Longley, -- something about opposing QBs who are spring chickens just brings out the worst in the Skins' D.

It won't be a runaway, but I'll say something like 20-10 Vikes.

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

Collins gives this team the chance to win the game and this time the D finally makes a late game stand.

Skins 20
Vikes 17

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

The Vikes are completely one dimensional offensively. If we can just contain their running game we should be in good shape.

No, carlos also had a pick fer a score

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

I actually think we can win this one going away.. 28-13 Redskins.. Saunders/Gibbs trusts Collins enough to completely run the offense.. Vikes are banged up (Jackson, Winfield may not play) coming off of a sloppy game.. They've also won 5 or 6 straight, it's really hard to continue to have everything go your way for such a long stretch in the NFL.

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

We're taking this one into OT.

Redskins outlast the Vikings through a balanced attack of run and pass. Offense has zero turnovers, and Clinton Portis breaks 150yds.

Redskins 30
Vikings 24
(OT)

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

Just cause the Vikings are on a 5 game winning streak doesn't mean they played anyone good. Come on now, they played Raiders, Giants, Lions, 49ers, and Bears. We've already beaten Giants, Lions, and Bears and could easily beat the Raiders and 49ers. They are not on fire. They are just beating on teams that are not good or they have just lost their spark (Giants/Lions). If you put the Vikings in against a team alittle better than them like the Browns. The Browns would win. If you can stop their big running plays, you will win. Go Redskins!

Redskins 24
Vikings 10

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

The vikes are a bit like the 05 skins but w/ a young qb that can move. Their O is one-dimensional as Matty said. In addition, all that talk of running the ball in cold weather, well they play in a dome. It's loud but they don't have that home field weather.

I know B. Jacobs put up some yards on us, but we forced the g-men into many passing downs. Same thing we need to do to Minn. sure AP might break a run or two, as long as its not to the house, our D will get over it & adjust.

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

no score here either i,m just hoping that the skins can keep big MO going thru the rest of the season starting this sunday night at the metrodome.

this game will be close ,nerve racking as hell.

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

I think we dominate this line up front and load the box on D. Portis runs as hard as last week and this one is a lock at:

Skins 28
Vikes 20

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

We Stay Hot and Win 24-17!!!!!! GO SKINS!!!!!!!!!

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

Again my prediction is "pain-free" for the other team.

AND we totally shut down Peterson after jacking him up once or twice. 23-10 Redskins.

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

Redskins won't be able to run the ball or stop the run.

Vikins: 24
Skins: 13

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

How hungry will Portis be? It's him vs AP.

Nicely stated and smart. Welcome fellow Skins fan from Frederick.

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

Our backs are against the wall, we will prevail!

REDSKINS= 28
VIKQUEENS=20

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

Redskins 28
Vikings 6

That's right it's going to be an ass whooping.

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.

Re: Redskins vs Vikings Predictions
 

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.
