The Patriots defense has NEVER surrendered more than 20 points all season. (The two games where Miami and Dallas scored higher than 20 was due to a the opposing defense scoring on a turnover).
So how can you use the word "realistically" in that prediction? Because based on the stats, and, how the 'Skins have performed recently on offense that is not a "realistic" prediction.?

I know you're not a Redskins fan, so I'll give you some wiggle-room to make some stupid statements (j/k). We have been playing down to the level of our opponents. For the most part, when we get leads, we sit on them. We don't feel compelled to go for the throat and risk losing games because our defense is usually good enough to come in and close them. Your logic that "because they haven't put up lots of points, they can't put up lots of points" is wrong IMO.
We're going to try to play up to the level of the Pats and, though we will almost certainly lose by at least one touchdown and our offense will struggle, I don't think it is at all unrealistic to expect them to score more than 20 points. If the Fins can do it, I see no reason why we cannot.
