The Washington Redskins (2-2) are taking on another win-less team this week, as they are on the road against the Carolina Panthers (0-3).  The Redskins two wins were both against win-less teams and they are looking to continue that trend.  The Redskins should have a lot of success running the ball since the Panthers are the worst in the league at stopping the run.  They give up 183 rushing yards per game, so look for Redskins’ running back Clinton Portis to get a lot of carries.  Portis has rushed for 281 yards on 72 carries (3.9 avg) so far this year and has failed to rush for 100 yards in a game and has no touchdowns.  He could have himself a breakout game against the Panthers pathetic run defense, so I am expecting him to finally break that 100-yard barrier.

The Skins D is not very good at stopping the run either, so the Panthers’ running back DeAngelo Williams could have a big game.  Williams has rushed for 180 yards on 41 carries (4.4 avg) and has two touchdowns so far this season, so the Redskins need to make sure they slow him down.  They also have to worry about running back Jonathan Stewart, as the second year player has 99 yards on 23 carries (4.3 avg). If they can stop the running game than they will be in great shape to win the game, as the Panthers’ quarterback Jake Delhomme has been having a horrible season and has thrown seven interceptions already.  The Redskins’ quarterback Jason Campbell has had some turnover problems recently as well, as he threw three picks last week.  If Campbell takes care of the ball in this game and if the Skins can limit the Panthers running game, then they should win this one.

FINAL SCORE PREDICTION:  Washington Redskins 28, Carolina Panthers 23
