Redskins vs. Bears pre-game/predictions

[Schneed10]

For a serious prediction, I'll say:

Redskins 20
Bears 10

I see us getting on top in this game in the first half and grinding it out. On the opening offensive drive we come out running right at them. Mainly with Portis, but some Betts mixed in. Ramsey hits Cooley and Patten on key 3rd down conversions to sustain the drive. Drive culminates in a short TD pass to Cooley.

First defensive series sets the tone. Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson go nowhere against us. Orton faces too many 3rd and longs and gets blitzed into oblivion.

From that point on we play ball control and call a conservative game, grinding it out on the ground and letting the D win it for us. Ramsey throws an interception that gets run back for a TD, just so we have a QB controversy continue in DC. Come on, can you really see this town without a QB controversy?

But that's the only TD the Bears put up. They get a field goal... maybe.

I'm apt to change my prediction and agree with you Schneed. It could end up being a real surprise if Chicago's offense actually puts up more than 3 to 6 points against us.
