Redskins vs. Bears pre-game/predictions

skins 14
bears 6

2 PR picks give the bears great field position but they settle for FGs. A short td pass and a short td run gives the skins all the points they need to win.

Redskins 24
Bears 9

First play from scrimmage will be a reverse to Santana Moss for a gain of 27 yards, setting the tone for a surprisingly, exciting offense this year....I hope

I have a feeling your right on, or close to it.

The over/under on this game is 33 points. If I were a betting man I bet I could make a killing betting the over. I don't know why I feel that way, but I think the Skins will score 28 points or more. I know our team has not put up many points in the preseason, but they did play some stout defensive teams. Everyone says the Bears D is stout, but I think they will get worn down with Portis and the Skins and I just don't see Orden having a lot of success, which should help out on field position and therefore more points. I don't think I see a blow out or anything, but Week 1 is always strange in terms of predictions for points. Skins 30 - Bears 10

I wouldn't bet on the over because I don't think the Bears will score any. ;)

I agree. I think it'll be a surprise play. Maybe a playaction to Portis hitting Moss on a slant or I'd LOVE to see a reverse.

Redskins 20, Bears 14

Bears don't improve their below average defense, yet the Skins don't quite get the bus rolling downhill...

Portis runs for 90+ and a score, while Ramsey tosses for 230 a score (to Cooley of course) and 2 picks, the 2nd one deep in Bears territory, prompting the fans to chant "We want Brunell". Defense gets 2 crucial turnovers late in the game to thwart a Bears comeback, after the 2nd one, when Ramsey comes in to kneel on the ball, chants of "We Want Dallas" fill FedEx Field.

Orton is sacked 3 times, but hits Muhammad in the end zone twice. Neither Thomas Jones or Cedric Benson can get the running game going, and Doug Brien misses 2 field goals in the first half, swinging momentum towards the Skins D.

I'm usually terrible at this but here goes. redskins 31 bears 20. I love our D, but something tells me things will really open up at some point during the game. This includes a Bears touchdown in the final five minutes.

I'll err on the side of excitable early season positivity and go 34 - 6 Redskins win.

Our D will only allow field goals and Ramsey will look like he's been doing this forever.

Cue the Pastabelly/King lovefest and "well, what I meant was...."

FOOTBALL IS BACK! Wooohoo! :httr:

Redskins: 31
Bears: 3
Sean Taylor comes on a delayed blitz and hits Orton on the blindside causing a fumble that is scooped up by Lavar and he trundles into the endzone....in the 2nd quarter. Redskins 14, Bears 0 at that point...Once the Bears are one dimensional and have to come back, it's curtains...ya hear...curtains.
