Week 4 (Sept. 29) – vs. Washington Redskins, 1 p.m.
Washington Redskins fans teed-off on me after my NFC East predictions yesterday – I don’t expect they’ll be much happier with me here. I just don’t see it out of the ‘Skins this year. The Trent Williams situation is even bigger than the media has made it out to be. Missing a top-three left tackle in the league, while down-grading to Case Keenum at QB, is a recipe for disaster.
The front-seven for Washington is special – Saquon will have to work hard for his yardage. Despite that, I see Eli having one of his better games of the season. It’s going to be really nice to be on the other side of Landon Collins‘ blown-coverages, and I’m anticipating that Evan Engram will have his way with him – should the ‘Skins be stupid enough to put him in that situation (they probably will). Derrius Guice is going to be a nice player, but it won’t be enough to save Washington here.
Prediction: Win
Record: 2-2
