My prediction, we win 13 to 10, messy game but we come out on top.

I have no idea what to expect from this team.

Think its gonna be sloppy early Skins grab late lead to hold on 20 - 16

1. One thing Im gonna be focused on is how we start, cant give Philly confidence early.

2. Then Ill be watching the D-Line and O-Line play...good test. Philly lines are what I would consider above average and that's where Id say we are as well with our Oline slightly stronger. LOS battle should be good.

3. I want to see how our new D-Coordinators attack the offense. Im expecting much better play and game planning

4. How committed are we to the run? Jay said we will run more...prove it. IMO Cousins seems to be a much better play action QB (Shanny style) than a empty set, spread 4-5 and throw it (McVay). So running it should really help the offense over all.

5. Make Philly one dimensional. Their running attack isn't great...lets put this on the young QB.

We've had their number as of late.

I have no idea what to expect from this team.

Ditto. Gruden has not won an opening season game in his time coaching the team, and the last time the Redskins won the opener was in 2012. I think breaking that streak against a division rival would give the team a big boost to start the season.

27 to 23 Skins hold on to win this one.

30-17 eagles.

Offensively, I think the Skins passing will be out of sync, run game will be inconsistent.
Defensively, Blount batters the D line and Wentz does enough to avoid sacks and make plays.

I think the Eagles and Giants will have top 10 defenses this year.

Eagles 72-0

The Skins really need to start the season strong because if they lose the first few games I think things unravel with this team. I have no idea what to expect from this team but I think they pull this game out.

Skins 17
Eagles 14

I have it pretty high scoring. Eagles secondary is a goddamn mess and until I see us improve the defense I can't buy into it.

I think it's a coin flip game, we come out on top because it's a home game.

27-23 Skins
