According to the Monday morning guys on ESPN 980, we need to go 11-5 or better to be assured a play off slot. What's your picks?

I think saying we're going to beat NYG is pretty optimistic. I don't have a big problem with your other predictions, but I wouldn't make the margin of victory so great by any means. All of our victories so far this season have been by less than 10 points.

Giants, Ravens, Bengals, Eagles & 49er's. It wouldn't feel right if we didn't need to win our last 5 games to make the playoffs.

Wow. Going 5-2 the rest of the way? That will be quite a feat. We have three tough divisional games to play (although they are indeed all at home), and play a tough Ravens team on the road. The other three opponents are all ones we will be favored against, but those games are all on the road. And as we learned after the Rams-Browns-Lions trio of games, the Redskins essentially give ALL of their opponents a shot at winning. I think going 4-3 the rest of the way is far more realistic.
If we do manage to win 5 of the last 7, however, you have to guess that three of the wins would come against the Bengals, Seahawks and 49ers, with a 2-2 split between the Cowboys, Giants, Eagles and Ravens. I would guess that the Cowboys and Eagles games are the ones we'd win.

Have to agree.
Not to mention The Giants had 17pts by the end of the 1st quarter last night against Philly. And went on to win with 36pts! The closest we've come to that was 29pts in week 2 against the Saints. Lol
Our offense is going to have to be firing on all cylinders and still have a few breaks go our way if we plan to beat them.

For my sanity the Ravens game is a must win. All of you B-more Skins fans now what I am talking about.
