Bet the farm, the house, the kids, the dog, the wife, the paycheck on my Redskins this week against New England.
Washington is getting 17 pts at NE.
I know nobody has been closer than 17 against NE(Dallas), but there are two reasons that lead me to believe that Washington will give Tom Brady all he can handle this week and therefore cover the spread.
1. Washington has the best secondary in the NFL
2. NE will invariably look past Washington to next week's showdown with hated rival Indy.
I am betting heavily on my Skins, so should you.
I think it will be the Patriots toughest game yet, but I don't expect them to look past Washington. The 'skins are a very good team and I don't think their coaching staff allows the players to focus beyond the coming week.
I don't bet, so I have a question. If Washington loses, but loses by fewer than the 17 points, you win, right?
So far the Browns have come the closest to making it a game vs. the Pats, they lost by 17, but the Pats scored a TD with under 2 min on a fumble return...
However, I did read a handicappers blog and he said this "Don't bet against the Patriots. I don't care what you do but NEVER bet against them this year. I don't care if the line is -34.5, don't bet against them. If you think a line looks integuing you're better off just not betting on it because I told you DON'T BET AGAINT THE PATRIOTS"
The Skins are too beat up to consider anything a lock. I actually like their chances this week. But if Rabach isn't back on Sunday, and Kendall, Smoot, and/or Moss tweak their injuries, WAS will have a of time just fielding a team, much less competing with the Pats.
If healthy, WAS is one of the few teams in the league that match up well with NE (relatively speaking of course). They've got enough secondary depth to match-up with all the NE wideouts. Their DL - while not great pass rushers - can control the running game without needing to bring up the safeties. They've got a running game that can pound the ball and control the clock. And they've got a big armed QB with fast WRs who can attack the Pats vertically.
However, Washington is far from healthy.

For you newer posters, whenever Jim makes a thread like this, it's very safe to go the opposite.
That is the old Jim....I am on fire this year.
Patriots 31
Redskins 10
Jim loses.
It'll be closer than what most people think, but no way do I go against the Pats before Indy....
Humble Pie
Dropping some cheddar on Indy and Green Bay are way better bets.
NE will win, and lose to INDY. All the about them being better than the defending champs is squash!
i wouldn't say bet the farm
I've been saying all week that Washington will come the closest to anyone thus far of beating NE, but they will still lose.
Yea I agree that the Redskins are good and physical just like a lot of NFC east teams. The Skins and the Giants are 2 tough teams and its funny how the Pats are favored by 16.5 to the Skins and were favored by 16.5 to the Fins. Probably because they were on the road vs the Fins. I cant wait til they play at home vs the Fins. What do you think the spread will be in the game? And I wonder how much they will be favored over the Colts? If they are favored by more then 4 vs the Colts I would be shocked even though I think they will beat the Colts by at least 10. if both of them are undefeated and the Colts are the defending superbowl champs the Colts being underdogs at home is pretty crazy.
I think the Pats will win 38-13 though. Brady will throw 4 more Tds. :elefant:
The Redskins will get lit up for 35+, and Campbell and that offense may be the only team that can't put up points on NE's pretty average and slightly ty D. Dallas put up 27 even with their offense killing drive after drive with penalty after penalty. NE wins by 30.
Put your money where your mouth is.
I will bet you any amount you want that NE does not win by 30.
It is easy to say , when you will not back it up with your wallet.
Name the bet, from $10 to $10,000

JIM: THE DAY AFTER THE GAME
Campbell's been very good this year. But I challenge any offense to keep clicking losing 4 out of 5 starters on the line.
we make no excuses! buges will have them ready!!!
buges is great, but we need rabach and kendall to get healthy. if randy thomas can be back by the beginning of December - that would HUGE.
they are starting fabini at rt instead of wade. good but not great news. is heyer still injured? that rookie can play!
i read rabach was a maybe...and i didn't know kendell went down!
i'm more worried about the health of our cb's!
smoot and rogers are gimpy...
who's gonna be on that welker guy...and IF the pats start tearing up our D, williams better start bringing the heat. none of this prevent bs if it ain't preventing anyway....
