Redskins vs. Saints predictions

[NinjaLink]

Redskins 13
Saints 10

[BDBohnzie]

If Springs was shelved again for a 2nd week in a row, I'd have less confidence. However, the Front 4 will be lacking a key cog (Taylor at 100%), and will have problems putting pressure on Drew Brees. The defense needs to continue to step up.

The Saints defense did give up oodles of yards to the Bucs, including 146 on the ground. But, Portis/Betts isn't putting much fear into opponents thus far, and Campbell looks like prey on the plains, waiting to be picked off by neighboring lions, tigers, hyenas, buffalo, etc.

As much as I'd like to use 6 of the last 7 home openers to my advantage, I just can't this week.

Saints 24
Redskins 9

No one fears Portis thats rediculous 84 yrds with no kinda passing game going against the best D-line in ftball. I tell you who no one fears Ernest Grahm and the Bucs O-line. We should run it straight up their ass

Skins win big in a Madden sim:

I think the intangibles will actually boost the Skins to one of their only wins in the first few weeks of the season.

The defense will be strong, and the o will do enough to win.

Final score:

Skins 16-13.

Wow it has that Suisham missed a Field Goal and an Extra Point. Guess we have to start looking for a kicker now.

[Chief X_Phackter]

Skins Offense turns the corner and makes it look easy against a beat up Saints Defense. Skins Defense is stifling...Skins over Saints 30-13.

I just can't believe that the Skins will lose the home opener looking at an 0-2 hole with the upcoming schedule. This team will step up.

[DirtyLandry]

The TAINTS will lose today. Shockey will cry. Kim KardASSian will dump Reggie. Sorry guys.

You may be some kind of good luck charm for us.

Not really... I'm very glad to be proven wrong.

Is stuff like this really necessary though?

I don't recall the poll results of the week 1 predictions being shoved back in the faces of those that said the Skins would win.

not quite as dumb as you felt last week when the traitors were right and you were miserable over a loss and wrong at the same time...
