Is it me, or does CJ only throw picks when he's driving to score the go-ahead points? I really don't think that will be a factor this week, partly due to Rex Grossman being another QB that's trying to find himself. Picks should be even for boths teams, but fumbles and lack of a running game will be the biggest factor here. I would pound Portis, Betts, and Sellers against them. That will open up the deep threat that we had returned to us last week (thanks SM).

Skins 20, Bears 17.

The Skins are done physically and mentally.

Skins 10

I think the skins are done as well...I don't think they will be able to ride their emotions to a win...they will be emotionally spent and physically tired. It will be good to see Randy Thomas back (if he plays) but I'm not sure i see a win...

We'll win, ARZ loses this weekend just to give us yet ANOTHER week of hope only to be crushed next weekend by the Giants.

A unique combination of optimism and cynicism. Well played. I have to say, I'm with Matty on this one, I have trouble investing too much in this one. It's going to be very tough. Truncated week and truncated game planning. The Bears started prepping some last week I'm sure, I doubt the Skins got to do much since they were just trying to get through Sunday. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the same breakdowns on the O-Line that we saw last week. I'd also be surprised if the Skins score more than 17 points. If they can pull this one off they will earn more of my respect, I just have trouble thinking they'll be able to pull it out.

I certainly am hoping for the win and would really like to see Jason do really well. I just think we're going to see the offense struggle pretty mightily again, mostly because I wonder what sort of game planning they are going to get in. Unfortunately that means more vultures out calling for Gibb's head.

Don't think it will be a shoot out. If the Skins pull it out I think it will require some help from Rex Grossman and some luck. If they can do it, it will be a low scoring game IMO.

Redskins 13, Bears 10.

I'm tired of trying to make 'smart' homer predictions, which all fall short lately. So I'm going to do it George Costanza style - the opposite of my instincts:

Bears 24
Skins 13

We play a typical tough first half, but can't stop Grossman in the 2nd. What's left of our secondary is banged up & based on what we saw sunday, the d-line can't get any consistent pressure. This team really is going to have to dig deep & they have enough problems under normal circumstances pulling games out.

I'll also second Sheriff's prediction about Gibbs; this could be the beginning of the end.

Once again, I think Rex will stop himself. Our secondary is still pretty solid, and we really didn't allow too many deep passes in the pass couple of weeks. The key to this game is stopping BB and thier running game. I don't see them beating us if they try to air it out all day.

I really think we can win this one. For one, I don't see the Bears blowing us out. So I think we finally close the deal on a tight game.

Campbell will show up and so will the defense. I think the defense plays lights out this week.

[Warrior1971]

I predict we lead most of the game until the 4th quarter and give up some big plays in the 2 minute drill and Loose again, going to 5-8. 21-23 Bears.

[MTK]

I really don't even care at this point. No prediction from me. I wish we could just fast forward through the rest of the season.

[Cowell]

I believe if this game had been played not under the circumstances of a such a tragic loss we would be seeing a win. Of course with the circumstances this is going to be a tough game to watch.

We stay in it only to watch the Bears come back at the last second to crush what we have and wear on this team even more emotionally.

Redskins 13
Bears 16

2 years ago, the bears couldnt beat us when their defense was top notch.

Redskins fall to the Bears 24-17 and drop to 5-8.

I also predict that at least several people will implicitly blow off the loss of Sean Taylor, the one day of practice, etc. and use the loss as ammo to use against Gibbs.

Agreed 100%. Our minds won't be where the game is after seeing Sean Taylor's body in a casket just 3 days before and knowing he'll never be back with the team.

I say 29 to 23 in overtime Redskins win. Portis busts a 65 yarder down the sideline on the first play in OT. Then gets carried off the field
