ESPN's John Clayton has picked the Redskins to win the NFC East. He largely bases this prediction on the NFC East's remaining strength of schedules. Discuss here.

I love hearing his comments about the Eagles. How sweet would it be if they got knocked out of contention in the next 3 weeks. I knew Clayton and his mouth foam were good for something.

[Daseal]

I've always thought Clayton was a closet 'skins fan. Even in our previous dismal seasons he really seemed to stick up for us. Either way, I hope hes right!

[Wanga Skins]

I just hope he is right about everything. I would love to see us win the division and both the cowgirls and eagulls miss the playoffs entirely!!

why is clayton always picking us?? I don't value his opinion after a while. Now if pasta belli said we were gonna win the division i would say it actually meant something. THis means as much as SI saying we would be the only team from our division not to go to the playoffs

I'm sorry to hear that you actually put any stock in what Pasta Belly says. It's a shame really.

Clayton knows football, geek or not. I think he's right, though. Skins can win this game against the Bucs and beat the Chargers at home. It's a long flight from San Diego for a 1pm kickoff (10am PST).

Please don't tell me you actually are yearning to hear Pastbelly to say nice things about us? If you are - (1) you're going to be a very unhappy man, and (2) you overvalue Pastbelly's insight into the NFL.

1) we are 5-3, it is impossible to be a unhappy man

2) Pastafruit is an idiot

i think a third option is in play here

clayton's just a football nerd, i'd say he's probably one of the least biased analysts, though he can be annoying to watch.

i think he was one of the few to say the skins had a shot in the offseason, most of the analysts decided we were 4-12 to 6-10 fare...

[Master4Caster]

Not two weeks ago, most of the smart money picked the Skins as the Least of the East.

Football isn't played on paper. It's played on television. Go get 'em, Skins. Hail!

Who doesn't love the Great Gazoo?

[skinsguy]

I certainly hope he's right. If so, it's going to be a dramatic turnabout for the team from a year ago. Actually, we can probably say that right now.

[BleedBurgundy]

The guy's a geek, but he doesn't seem to consider himself bigger than what he covers. That alone deserves respect when viewed in comparison with the Peter Kings, Dr. Z's and Pasquarelli...
