Redskins v Patriots predictions

[MTK]

It's Wednesday, so it must be prediction time.

I have to be honest and say I am absolutely dreading this game. I love our defense, and we've all seen it a million times where a dominant offense gets shut down by a dominant defense. Can the Skins shock the world? Sure, why not? Stranger things have happened, right? With the Colts on the horizon the Patriots could get caught looking ahead and really who could blame them if that happened? But as we all know Belichick is great at keeping his team focused and they rarely ever have a letdown game.

Alright here, goes. Kool-Aid drinking aside, I don't like our odds in this one. I've been saying all week that it's going to take our best effort of the season, and the Pats to have an off day in order to win. Our offense has been struggling lately and if Rabach is out again I really don't like our chances to keep up with the Pats.

It pains me to say this, and I would love to be proven wrong, but the Pats win this one. I think our defense will keep it close, but if our offense can't sustain drives and keep the Patriots' 'O' off the field eventually our 'D' will break. If that's the case I see a close game until late when the Patriots pull away.
