WBFISHER: 10 pts

jonnguy2014: 10 pts

gatorrt: 10 pts

1redknight99: 8 pts

vavir: 2 pts

 

I go with the Vikings over the Bears for week 8. My Redskins have a bye so I'm hoping that for their good, the saints beat the giants and the seahawks beat the cowboys. But I pick the VIKINGS

Avatar of gatorrt

im gonna do this thing where i predict the outcome for the rest of the Redskins game and in the end, predict their record for the 2015 season:

Week 9: WSH @ NE

Result: loss. 35-10 i dont need to waste time explaining this. The Pats have Brady, Gronk, Edelman, and Danny Amendola. The Redskins dont. The Pats are 6-0. The Redskins are 3-4. The Pats have a bunch of future HOF's on their team. The Redskins dont. Record: 3-5

Week 10: NO @ WSH

Result: win. 27-20. Well, it could go either way. I just think that if the redskins get their running game back and Cousins isn't inconsistent (which might be a long shot), the Saints cant beat us. Record: 4-5

Week 11: WSH @ CAR

Result: loss. 24-7. The Panthers beat the Seahawks in Seattle. The Redskins, however, couldnt beat the Jets in New York. Not saying that the Jets are bad, but theyre the closest the Redskins have gotten to playing a potential playoff contender (minus the Giants) on the road. Plus, Cam Newton can run all over the Redskins, so I don't think the Redskins really stand much of a chance. Record: 4-6

Week 12: NYG @ WSH

Result: loss. 38-21. Tbh, the Giants are a much better team now than they were when the Redskins played them in week 3. By the time week 12 comes around, though, it might be a different story. But if the Redskins play like they did in week 3 and the Giants play like they did in week 3, that game can get real ugly, really fast. Record: 4-7

Week 13: DAL @ WSH

Result: win. 20-17. If Tony Romo returns, the Cowboys will probably win. However, the Redskins always manage to get Romo out of games. If that happens again, then the Cowboys will replace him with Brandon Weeden or Matt Cassel, and the Redskins can quickly take advantage of that. It could be a blowout win. Or loss. Or it could be a win where the Redskins have to claw till the very end. That's the most probable likelihood. Record: 5-7

Week 14: WSH @ CHI

Result: win. 45-24. Im not getting my hopes up for a blowout win, but Im more likely expecting a win rather than a loss. If Jay Cutler struggles, the Redskins might win by more. If Cutler plays okay, then the Redskins will probably still win by a lot. If he plays well, the redskins will win...but not by that much. And knowing Jay Cutler, Im expecting an okay performance from him, resulting in a smooth win for the Skins. Record: 6-7

Week 15: BUF @ WSH

Result: win. 17-16. If Tyrod Taylor is back (well, he obviously will be), then the Bills will have a much better chance of winning the game. But seeing what Blake Bortles did to the Jags in London makes me wonder how the Redskins will do. If Kirk Cousins is on his game, the Redskins will win. If Tyrod Taylor is on his game, then the game will be very close. Tough to decide the outcome of this one, but i have to go with the Redskins. Record: 7-7

Week 16: WSH @ PHI

Result: win. 31-17 Sam Bradford has not been consistent this year. Neither has Kirk Cousins. But if I had to compare the two, Id give Cousins the edge. He has led two 4th quarter comebacks and Bradford has not. Oh, and Cousins led one of his 4th quarter comebacks against the Eagles. If the Eagles offense plays like it has most of the season, this is a no-brainer. Washington wins by a lot. Record: 8-7.

Week 17: WSH @ DAL

Result: loss. 45-24. You might have been thinking that i thought the Redskins would finish the regular season with a marvelous winning streak like back in 2012. I think that the Cowboys will halt their strong run in week 17. Romo will throw for over 300 yards and 3 TD's and Dez Bryant will dominate this game.

The Redskins will finish 8-8, which is much better than what I expected. Then again, they might not win a single game from here on out. Or maybe they might win the rest of their games. Bye weeks have proved to be brilliant for the Redskins, but they have also proved to be hurtful. Lets see how this one plays out.

I'll take St. Louis this week.

49ers picks:

Week 8: @St Louis

My pick: L 14-35

Our defense gets steamrolled as Todd Gurley runs for 150 and 3 TDs on us. Nick Foles throws a pick to Tramaine Brock, but adds another TD to Kenny Britt and 250 yards. Meanwhile, the Rams defense scores off a Jaronis Jenkins pick-six, as Kap throws 2 picks, is sacked 9 times, and has less than 100 yards. Meanwhile, Reggie Bush gets injured on his very first run of the game, a stuff for no gain, and is replaced by Mike Davis, who has 20 carries for 50 yards and a TD. Jarryd Hayne gets his first NFL TD on a 50 yard punt return.

Week 9: Atlanta

My pick: L 7-20

Our home defense shows up again. We hold Matt Ryan to 200 yards and Julio Jones
