Week 1: Saints 34 Redskins 27
Posted: Sun Aug 26, 2012 4:58 pm
* National media will be impressed with how close the redskins will play.
* Both teams will rack up a ton of yardage. Washington's runner will likely go over 100 yards and there will be some long completions.
* Washington won't be able to put the kind of pressure neccessary (who can?) on Brees to keep the Saints down. Although they will force a turnover.
* Washington is too young and immature to win this game. It'll be an offensive hold at the wrong time in a drive, a missed blitz pickup a couple of times, and bad mistake by the rookie QB, and an inability of the secondary to keep Brees's passes from hitting the ground too often.
