My heart wants to hope the outcome will be similar with us on top again, but my gut is telling me we'll be on the short end of the stick this time because I just can't trust our defense to keep us in the game.

The Redskins defense will put up a maximum effort this week. They have to do it sooner or later. Matt Ryan was sacked seven times last week and if the Redskins can bring Kerrigan consistently, we have a chance. DeAngelo Hall is not a good corner but I think he and Josh Wilson will have a solid game.

Offensively, all the Redskins have to do is run Griffin III, Alfred Morris, and Ryan Grant and keep Atlanta's defense off balance with play action passes.

This will be a close game. Most people will pick the Falcons to win only because of their offense and their perception of how the Redskins defense can't match up well with their offense.
