Redskins-Giants Predictions
By Jamie Mottram | December 3, 2012
Hey, let’s play Predictions! Last week’s winner is illformula, who accurately predicted Redskins-Cowboys. A reminder on how it works, for the uninitiated:
Our Redskins-loving “staff” makes predictions in the post, readers make predictions in the comments, and the commenter who comes closest to predicting the final score gets to make a guest post. Hip-hip!
Chris Mottram: Giants, 28-24
While I so desperately want to believe the Skins will win this game, it’s tough to find one reason, on paper, why they will. BUT THE GAMES AREN’T PLAYED ON PAPER, you say. And you’re right. Washington certainly has a chance — the last match-up proved as much. But I see them falling just short in typical, painful fashion.
Matt Terl: Giants, 28-24
I WANT to believe everything is different and the old rules don’t matter anymore, but I’m not quite there yet. Basically, important MNF games still terrify me
JP Finlay: Redskins, 31-27
Lets keep this ride moving. Giants looked like the best in the world last week, so lets hope for a bit of a letdown this week. Redskins defense has hit much better since the bye. Giants wideouts can drop passes. RG3 gets it done.
Andy Peden: Giants, 23-18
The last two weeks have been way too enjoyable. I know, as a life long D.C. sports fan, that it doesn’t last for long.
Todd Davis: Giants, 31-30
What Andy said.
Jack Kogod: Redskins, 27-24
All hail Kai Forbath!
Me: Redskins, 27-23
I’m just really looking forward to an evening with Mike Tirico, Jon Gruden and ESPN’s NFL Countdown crew.
Composite prediction: A STATISTICAL TIE! 26-26.

The photo above is a good reminder why they went to Doug Williams for the playoffs in ‘87.

But that’s the same score from last week, you say; Unpossible! But it does happen, and then you play 3831 in the DC pick 4 and win enough money to finally buy grandma an actual Christmas gift instead of just giving her a homemade card.

I’m used to getting a Cleveland Steamer on my soul when my DC sports teams need to win, so why should tonight be any different.
Side prediction- Gruden says “this guy” 8,000 times.

Young Robert continues to shine on the big stage. Eli throws another baffling pick to seal the game.
December 3rd, 2012 at 10:51 AM
With RGIII, all things are possible. Skins come out flat and look ready to get blown out. RGIII does his thing in the second half.
Skins 33
NYG 27
For all the “watch out when NY gets it going in November” rhetoric, remember they’ve also flamed out in those non-Super Bowl winning years.

Eli throws a pick in the end zone sometime in the final minute to seal a skins win. We will then get to see that stupid face he likes to make when he just CAN’T believe he threw a pick. Bonus view of Coughlin with hands on hips staring in disbelief as well.

3 dominating wins over our 3 NFC East rivals in 3 weeks. Happy holidays.

Make it happen capn.
Despite the outcome tonight, I still thoroughly enjoyed rooting for our wildcard contenders to lose yesterday. But the Bears blew it and the Eagles blew it. So this is now our chance.

A well rested Eli torches a confused, inept and passionless Redskins secondary due for giving us another soul crushing loss.

Good thing the Giants got their requisite good performance out of the way last week. I expect them to lay a giant turd tonight and make us look deceivingly good. We all know the drill by now. The bad part is that by making us look good, they jumpstart the annual Skins cycle of suck and we’ll close out the season strong (maybe even sneak into the playoffs). Then Dan Sny will do Dan Sny things thinking we’re ONE PLAYER AWAY ™ and the rest will be history.
The Giants – setting us up for the long con, always.

Banks breaks one, Skins D scores, Redskins truck the G-Men.

Game starts the same way the last MNF game at FedEx did with an opening play TD bomb that sets the tone for a terrible evening.

Nothing like a typical December NFL East smashmouth football game.

“Eli Manning face” will be plentiful tonight and the Skins play inspired football to the tune of a 28-24 win.

Kai wins it for us.
Morris has a career game.
I get fired for not turning up to work tomorrow due to sleeping in. (live in the UK, game does not start till 1:30 am)
December 3rd, 2012 at 5:45 PM
Skins – 35
Gmen – 41
Pierre Garcon has a 75 yard catch and run, then his foot falls off.
Banks fumbles a punt, turns into the winning score for the Gmen. Danny Smith does not get fired.

And no, that’s not a prediction for an Orioles intersquad game, but I see how you could be confused.
December 4th, 2012 at 1:36 AM
no one predicted a low-scoring, defensive battle decided by efficient qbs with surgical precision, eh? in retrospect, i regret not posting my pre-game prediction to my mates that the skins will score their first TD off of a triple option fumble/lateral.
