Packers 4-1 vs Redskins 3-1, conference game involving the 2nd and 3rd best records in the conference.
Plenty to talk about here. Two good (possibly one really good) defenses here, possibly the best QB ever coming off a down week in what had previously been a smoking hot start, a young QB possibly coming into his own, the Skins running game vs. a team with virtually no running game at all, what will Santana Moss do, when will I end this run on sentence....
All we're hearing about is the Pats/Cowboys, which I think the Pats will win easily, and nothing about this game which should be a very tight contest by two of the best teams of the first quarter of the season in a game that will definitely affect the NFC playoff picture. What gives? Let's talk about it.
I don't see this as a high scoring game, as the Packers are weak vs. the pass which I don't think the Redskins can fully capitalize on yet. I'm thinking Moss isn't completely right, and the chemistry hasn't been there between him and Campbell yet. Randal El is hurt as well, so the passing options are limited. On the other side, I think the Redskin D is still very underrated by most, and I think they can make the Packers pay for what has been a mostly one dimensional offense, as they have the speed on D to stay with the Packers in the spread formations that they run. It should be an interesting contrast of offensive styles.
Though the Packers have a serious edge in the passing game this week, I think the Redskins are the more balanced team and win a close one.
