[rbanerjee23]

too bad the late, great sean taylor's death will me marred by a one-sided game...
giants 35
skins 10

[davy]

Giants 31-17 Skins

[diehardskin2982]

16-14 Skins- Big defensive game that ends on an Eli Pick.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Redskins 24
Giants 21

Suisham hits from 41 to win with 5 seconds left after the Skins come back from a 14 point HT deficit like they did to us last year

I love these scores 35-3 c'mon people. I know we're not favored to win but nobody puts 30 on us even in our worse game pitt only had 23. And the most we've given up is 24. The giants get alot of points from turnovers and we're not turning it over much. I say win or lose we play our best game of the season all things considered The Taylor tribute, rematch revenge keeping our playoff hopes alive. I'm a Redskin homer so i'm going 24-21 SKINS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep! And they are due for a loss. It will come Sunday in what is and HAS been a close match-up for the last few seasons. Springs takes a pick to the house for 6! Cooley and Davis combine for 2 TD's!

HAIL Sean T!

Skins 27
Littles 24

Just for the mere fact that all the experts on ESPN and pretty much everywhere else predict a Giants win. I'm going with the Skins to pull what most people would say is an upset, not me

The Redskins of 2008 are a better team than the injury plagued 2007 team and the Giants are the same as last year. So why are people all scared? That's why they play the games.

The Giants are have essentially the same personnel as last year, however they are not nearly the same team. Their offensive line seems to get better every game, they are still rushing the passer with ferocity despite no Strahan OR Umenyiora, their running game is better, Eli is more efficient, and they are two games ahead of where they were at this point in 2007. They didn't really gel as a team until the final 4 regular season games/playoffs last year.

This year, aside from the Cleveland speed bump, they are a machine. And they've scored 30+ in 4 straight games, and only less than 21 twice all year.

Yeah, we're better than we were last year, but we're still just as injury plagued.

This is such an important game. I hope we can overcome the odds. Hey, at least it's not a night game!

Take the Skins plus the points.

We are a better team than last year, but the injuries and to some extent the new system is hampering us greatly. The Gmen seem to be possessed and on a mission to prove that last season was no fluke and that they are indeed the best around. I agree, and that is why the odds are indeed long on the Skins eeking out a win. Also forget the emotions running high thing. Emotion can play a good part in a football game, but can't overcome a team that is solidly superior, and that is what we have here. Also we are road warriors this season. Playing at Fedex isn't like playing at RFK. The crowd might be big, but not really that intimidating.

I was feeling depressed this week because of the thought of having to play the 10-1 giants. But after a little bit of number crunching, i am feeling much better.

The 'skins have played the top 3 offenses in terms of points scored, (saints, giants, cardinals). These 3 teams combined have scored 29 points a game. But the average allowed by the 'skins to these 3 teams is a mere 19 points per game. not bad, not bad. of course stats can be skewed to make a person feel better, but i'm going to reno and bet on the 'skins to win.

if that happens I would say the off line is the hero,I'd much rather see Portis with 50 yrds and Campbell throw for 400 yrds,when was the last time a redskin qb won the game for us when the run game wasnt working?JC has stepped up his game this yr,but he needs to step it up another notch,he needs to take over a game and win it on his own

For our sake i hope not because for my Colt Brennan theory to manifest it will need Jason to get injured this week or next..I really regret saying that back in pre-season. But we live and die by the running game.

Brandon Jacobs is also questionable but don't forget Derrick Ward carved us last year
