Re: Redskins/Giants Predictions

I think this is going to be a very close one. Spagnuolo is a top notch D-coordinator, and that crowd will be deafening - first home game since the Super Bowl, NFL Season Opener, prime time game, division rival... plenty of reasons for that place to be insanely loud. They'll throw the house at JC, and given how shaky we've looked recently, its going to be hard to establish rhythm.

I see one, maybe two scoring drives for the offense, and I think the D will give us a short field once or twice with turnovers. I really, really hope Jason Taylor can play. I would love to see he and Andre pin their ears back and go full steam for Eli. Nothing would take that crowd out of the game like seeing that little mop-headed aw shucks punk pansy eat dirt a few times.

Giants in a close game, 21-17.

The Giants don't scare me at all. They're a totally different team from last year, and they're horrible at home. With that being said I think this is going to be a very close game and it really could go either way. I am very concerned about Zorn's performance, and the Redskins in general, in a game that actually counts.

We cant afford to lose this game. We come out running the rock and Portis rumbles for 160 yards on 32 carries.

Considering that they lost two players that contributed 21 of the teams 53 sacks, do you feel that their pass rush is really all that much better than ours?

yes I do,even though jc was only sacked once,the pressure was relentless,my prediction was pretty much right on,though I think it should have been 24-14.giants should have went for it on 4th down in first half because we couldnt stop them,and Moss was robbed of a td on sorry ass officials call in 3rd qtr

Let me ask you this. If no one was going to predict against the Skins no matter what, then what would be the point of this exercise?

Re: Redskins/Giants Predictions

The Giants typically start slow, and they have had a decent amount of turnover this offseason. Losing both starting DE will hurt them more than people expect. I see the Redskins winning a close and physical game by relying on the running game. The defense will play a strong game despite allowing a good amount of points. Although if Landry and Taylor don't play the Redskins probably will not win the a divisional game on the road.

Redskins 27
Giants 24
