Now if you just turn 1 TD throw that you have of Eli's into a pick 6 and you are getting closer to the actual score :)

Wouldn't you know. Just when I think I'm on top of something I see someone already posted it under the QB Woodson thread.

Re: Redskins/Giants Opening Day Predictions
 

alright any fan here who says that we're gonna get beat by 17 plus points or win by that much are idiots..I'm sorry I'm saying that but come on be real, its a division rival with a great offense and defense..

I really understand what you are saying. And I think you are wrong, for several reasons, and I will try very hard to keep it real.
[LIST=1][*]This is definitely a trap game for the Giants. They are likely to remember last year's second game, and the press from the first. But if you really looked at that first game (which is better for comparison, due to relative health), they came out very strong, and in fact I expect that again, scoring on their opening drive. But our D ended up holding their "great offense" to 16 points.[*]Their "Great" Offense is substantially weaker this year, after losing Plax they were 1-3, and now Eli doesn't have a comfortable target to hit like he did.[*]AH is capable of occupying two OL at once, our DE is not sidelined with a calf injury.[*]Our secondary has a bonafide ball hawk in D Hall, and this is the type of "Great" Offense he can shine against. Eli when pressured forces throws wide and high. DHall loves those types of balls.[*]Their best weapon, BJacobs, is gonna have to get past AH. that will be fun to watch.[*]Their "Great" defense was improved by adding several backups to there already strong line, but now those backups are injured.[*]Their LB's and corners remain suspect, and our Receivers have shown that at least this year they will be targeted in games.[*]Finally, I am a homer, not an idiot, and I can easily add all these facts into a 17point swing for our team.[/LIST]

[quote=Lotus;585531]Wouldn't you prefer if Washington won?[/quote]6 in one hand, half a dozen in the other. One division rival will start the season 1-0 and another will start 0-1. That is enivitable. Does not matter to me which one.

But if I were using my wallet, I would go ahead and stick with the spread and take the over. Giants are favored by 6.5, I predict they cover that. Giants by 7.

And I just hope LaRon Landry learned his lesson from last years season opener when he tried to tackle Brandon Jacobs one on one in the open field.

Re: Redskins/Giants Opening Day Predictions
 

It's gonna be a tough game. All I'm going to predict is the Skins are going to surprise some people.

Re: Redskins/Giants Opening Day Predictions
 

I just hope Jason Witten learned his lesson from last year playing Tampa when he had to leave the game due to bruised ribs. Probably to go over to stroke Romo who was out due to a pinky injury. What a bunch of pussys. Bruised ribs and pinkys...

What if its a tie like back in 98 (or 97 cant remember which)

Re: Redskins/Giants Opening Day Predictions
 

All about the lines

IF we can protect JC from Tuck and OU

and IF we can keep BJ and AB from running wild...

we can win.

Score will be 21-14 regardless who is the victor.

Its too tough to call...but Im leaning toward NYG winning

Re: Redskins/Giants Opening Day Predictions
 

I expect a close, hard fought game that could go into Overtime...after that, who knows

Re: Redskins/Giants Opening Day Predictions
 

I am predicting that a few balls bounce our way against the Giants this season and we come out on top.

Re: Redskins/Giants Opening Day Predictions
 

I really have no idea. Both teams are pretty enigmatic to me. Lots of questions. Their passing game would seem to be less of a threat than it has been...but our secondary has been iffy. They can run the hell out of the ball...but our run defense ought to be pretty stout. Our run game has looked woeful...but their D-Line is a little banged up and it remains to be seen whether our run game in the preseason was at all reflective of our approach or not. Our passing game of course is a huge question. I think it'll come down to how well we pass the ball. If we protect Campbell decently we win. I have serious question whether that happens. Either way it'll be close.

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;585591]What if its a tie like back in 98 (or 97 cant remember which)[/quote]Well then it means that the Giants would not cover the spread, thats all. But if I were a betting man, I would say they will cover the spread.

Re: Redskins/Giants Opening Day Predictions
 

From the G-men fans I talk to at work they are questioning their team just as much, if not more, than Skins fans right now.

NY fans are the hardest to please. They won the SB two years ago and went 12-4 last year. I wish we had those things to worry about.

Re: Redskins/Giants Opening Day Predictions
 

23-16 OT- Giants

We tie at 16-16 in regulation. Giants get lucky and get first ball, BJ unfortunately breaks free through open field and runs in for a 43 yd score (like that OT loss to SD a few years back). big disappointment for our Skins, but staying with the G-men for a full 4 quarters gives us some confidence... .

I'll be there... corner endzone about 20 rows up wearing a Portis jersey!

Redskins 17
Giants 13

Skins score TD to take lead in last minute... Campbell to Moss

Re: Redskins/Giants Opening Day Predictions
 

I have major worries about our oline

Re: Redskins/Giants Opening Day Predictions
 

I think the game will be very close in the first half and the skins will catch the Giants off guard. However, the Giants have an excellent coach and will make great half-time adjustments, while our beloved team becomes overconfident and falters in the 2nd half. I predict our pass-rush will be nonexistent and our secondary will give up crucial first down after first down in the 4th quarter. Our first win of the season will come at home September 20th.

don't know what the score will be but i've got a feeling the skins are gonna win this game and by doing so, will surprise a lot of people.

I'm sure the majority of fans in the other 31 teams in the league think theyre gonna win the first game, too. To bad atleast 16 of them are wrong.

The beauty of being a Lions fan is the ability to make frequent accurate predictions.

Re: Redskins/Giants Opening Day Predictions
 

Losing Burress and Toomer changes the Giants offense dramatically. More important than the loss of Burress is the loss of Spags, he's a very good DC and the driving force behind their success in 2007.

The Giants lines are very good, however our DL is much improved with the addition of Haynesworth, a healthy Daniels, and Orakpo. We should hold up well against the Giants rushing attack. I don't believe they have enough firepower to beat us with their passing game. The Giants are outmatched by us at our secondary vs. their WR/TEs and by our WR/TEs vs. their secondary. The key is Campbell, I believe he will be more poised and confident in Zorn's system, and with a healthy OL up front he will perform.

Redskins 27 - Giants 16

Yeah but the guys I know are usually cocky as all hell. Not this year though. They have some genuine concerns, and of course they always hate Eli.

I think they should have. They didn't exactly end the season on a high note either and lost their best receiver.

true but i don't always think or, in this case, feel like the skins are gonna win.

i just think the skins are a much better team than last year and the g-men are a much worse team.

Re: Redskins/Giants Opening Day Predictions
 

I've got it at 35-17 Redskins. I think the Giants are going to have some offensive issues without a true #1 receiver and I think that's going to lead to a couple of turnovers that the Skins take advantage of.
