Washington Redskins vs. Atlanta Falcons

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,This Week's Matchup Report by ravenhater on Friday 1 December 2006 at 12:49 pm

The Falcons have seen the wheels fall off on their season as they’ve lost 4 games in a row.  The Redskins have played a little better since Jason Campbell has been inserted into the starting line-up.

The Falcons will look to run the ball at the Redskins soft run defense that is allowing 119.4 yards rushing and 4.0 yards per carry this season.  Michael Vick (870 yards rushing, 9.2 ypc), Warrick Dunn (865 yards rushing) and Jerious Norwood (411 yards rushing) should have little trouble moving the football.  Michael Vick is having trouble throwing the ball, but alot of that is because his WRs can’t catch.  The Redskins will probably try to take Alge Crumpler out of the game with their coverage and force Vick to beat them with his WRs.

The Redskins will come out running the ball with LeDell Betts (488 yards rushing) against the tough run defense of the Falcons that only allows 98.2 yards rushing per game and 3.8 yards per carry.  If the Redskins were ever going to turn Jason Campbell loose, this will be the game as the Falcons secondary is all banged up.  The Falcons are allowing a remarkable 241.2 net yards passing per game.

I have to lean towards the Redskins in this football game because the Falcons are spinning out of control as a football team.
