The Redskins sit at 4-4 halfway through the NFL season and they have a tricky road to navigate the rest of the way. Here is a game by game look at the seven remaining opponents (they play the Giants twice), how they might match up with the Redskins, and a prediction for each game.
Philadelphia Eagles, Nov. 15
Quick Take: 4-3, second in NFC East, offense 5th 372.6 YPG, defense T-12th, 316.0 YPG
Outlook: When the teams first met in Week 4, the Redskins did a good job of handling the big-play wide receiver duo of DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin and they knocked Michael Vick out of the game in the first quarter. We’ll probably find out if there was a causal relationship between Vick’s departure and the Redskins’ ability to keep Maclin and Jackson under wraps. LeSean McCoy had 174 yards rushing and receiving combined and the Redskins probably will again dare the Eagles to beat them that way.
Prediction: Redskins 17, Eagles 13
