Washington Redskins vs. New York Giants
The Giants pushed the Redskins around last season sweeping them and outscoring them 37-14! The physical playing style of the Giants had a lot to do with that and that’s a big reason why the Redskins laid out the jack for Albert Haynesworth. The Giants won’t change however as Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw will be pounding away at the interior of the Redskins’ D. If the Giants establish the running game the Redskins will be in trouble as Eli Manning is a master at play action. The Redskins have three legit corners (DeAngelo Hall, Carlos Rogers and Fred Smoot) and they match up very well with the Giants’ WRs. With that in mind look for Kevin Boss to get a lot of action in the short passing game.
The Redskins should open up the offense in this game and let Jason Campbell throw the ball downfield. Big plays will be there for Antwaan Randle El and Santana Moss if Campbell can get them the football. Chris Cooley will also likely have a solid game for the Skins tomorrow. Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts will also get a lot of work in on Sunday in New Jersey.
PREDICTION: NEW YORK GIANTS 21, WASHINGTON REDSKINS 20
