Honestly, being a Skins fan, it’s hard to ever take Washington with over a touchdown.  The Bucs have some players that will no doubt give this Skins defense issues.  Breeland has been playing outstanding, but he’s still a rook and will make mistakes.  Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson will give the Skins problems.  But it does come down to Josh McCown being able to get them the ball.  Unfortunately for the Skins, they allowed Bridgewater to get it done late in the game the last time out.  Unless RG3 and Alfred Morris can completely dominate the clock and keep the chains moving, the Bucs will have a chance in this one.

So this is how I see this one playing out.  The Skins are at home, RG3 needs to have a big game, and the Bucs suck.  The Skins come out hyped and motivated, jump out to an early lead before halftime, something like 20-7 and then roll over and play dead.  They attempt to run the clock out in the second half and play pussy football as the Bucs begin to launch it all over the field to Evans and Jackson in a game of catch up.  Should the Skins be able to jump out to a comfortable lead and win this one convincingly?  Of course.  Will the Bucs just give up and not make this a game?  No way.  So yes, and as a Skins fan, I’ll say Washington wins 27-17.  But could I see the Bucs making this one close in the second half?  Most definitely.  Don’t be surprised if the Skins blow this 7.5 at home.

REDSKINS 27 – BUCS 20 (Could be a 27-24 ballgame)
