Yeah, us being 3.5 point favorites at home means the oddsmakers think the two teams are pretty even.

In an opening day situation, I think more games are lost than are won. So, the redskins need to take care of the football, play disciplined, get pressure to force Miami into mistakes, win on special teams, and they should come out on top.

I suspect Cameron will have some pretty good blitz-beating plays in the mix so we need the secondary to be sure and wrap up the receivers as soon as the ball is delivered. We struggled last year with letting hot receivers out of the gate for big plays (think Maurice Jones-Drew). We need individuals in the secondary to step up to the mic.
