Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

skins 31-cardinals 24 curt warner will def not have the luxury he's had the last 2 games of having all day to pick apart our defense...will be close till late 3rd quarter...

I'm optimistic that we'll come out on top, but I'm not particularly confident in that. If we don't continue to improve over last week, we lose, plain and simple.
A very simple concept. I hate the fact that I have to sit here and defend my thoughts and decisions merely because I'm not being a homer. The Cardinals are not as bad as some would like to think, and I also think the Redskins aren't as good as some would like to think. My heart wants to say that the Skins will roll on all cylinders, and that they'll stomp a big old mudhole in the Cards. But my head knows that the Cards are a good football team, and there are several factors they have in their favor.

I'd also like to point out that I did pick the Redskins to win...see Post #16 (http://www.thewarpath.net/redskins-locker-room/25321-redskins-vs-cardinals-predictions.html#post478046)...something I haven't done the last 2 weeks.

If I'm wrong, so be it...but I'm going to be honest before I'm a homer, plain and simple. So call me what you want, but I've bled burgundy and gold for almost 30 years of my existence, have been through the ups and downs, and will continue to do so for the next 30, 40, 50+ years. But I'm not going to be dishonest with myself either.

HUH???? IF the oddsmakers expected this to be a PICK' em, they would have put the odds at ....... PICK' EM

Are you saying that every home favorite that is at less then 3pts is the underdog???? I must have missed the new math lesson that day.

Further, I believe Fedex to be a better than average home field, so from now on, I guess if we are favored by 5 at home, it is really a pick' em game. and in the playoff home games, when the stadium is rocking, we must be underdogs if we aren't favored by 10.
It's pretty well-known that when the oddsmakers are setting the odds for each game, one of the things they automatically do is give the home team -3 off the bat for the home field advantage. -3 isn't necessarily a PICK EM game, but what it means is that besides the home field, the oddsmakers are looking at this game as very even keeled game. No distinct advantage for either team, besides the home field.

I do understand the concept of home teams getting a bump, but to turn around and say that therefore it is a pick'em game is wrong. and as for defending not being a homer, we have all watched the past 17 years of Skins not living up to hopes and expectations, but homerism is picking the 1-10 dolphins to beat the 11 -0 patriots because you are a dolphin fan (i might have the stats wrong but just an example) but saying that a team that really outplayed a vaunted offense and played the superbowl champs close, if ugly, will soundly beat a team that beat 2 teams likely to have losing records, is not, in my opinion the same type of homerism. but hey, i am a homer so i guess my opinion is null and void.

Skins 4
Cardinals 3

Hey, it could happen

Seriously though, I think this game could come down to OT. After that...it all depends

this game is hard to figure out but i,m seeing this game with highs and lows but with the highs at the end to carry us thru to the end of the game in a high scoring affair 27-24 skins win with a FG.....alot is going to depend on our effect and energy level in the second half..

so again skins win 27-24...

I look in my crystal ball and I see Kurt Warner getting sack and I see Kurt Warner fumbling the ball and I see someone in a white jersey running it back for a touchdown.
