Re: Redskins vs. Packers predictions
Washington's defense proved that it can contain formidable passing attacks. Green Bay has shown that it cannot run the ball, but that Favre still has "it." I see favorable matchups on defense and, if Washington's defense continues to play like it has, Green Bay will not score more than 21 points and is likely to score 17 points or less.
I don't know what to make of the offense. Between Jason Campbell's lack of experience (just 11 starts) and the injuries to the offensive line, I honesty have no clue how well we will fare against Green Bay's young, and dramatically improved, defense. We've had trouble running the ball, which should not come as any surprise given the loss of the starting right side of the offensive line. Jason Campbell looked really good in all phases of the passing game last week, but struggled with his accuracy with short and intermediate passses in prior weeks. However, as our offensive line gels and teams gain respect for Campbell's arm, I see good things in the future for our running game.
Final Prediction: Skins 20, Packers 17.
