Rams: 16.0 +/- 6.2 (95% confidence interval is 3.6 to 28.4 points)

Rudechain, Bigmuss1, and skinfan1957 all predicted it correctly! First time anyone has so far.
http://www.extremeskins.com/showthread.php?355243-Redskins-Rams-Predictions-for-Week-4/


Cumulative predictions:

Redskins Predicted Offense = 24.9 +/- 6.9
Redskins Actual Offense = 20.8 +/- 4.8

Redskins Predicted Defense (e.g. Opponent's O) = 17.0 +/- 5.7
Redskisn Actual Defense (e.g. Opponent's O) = 15.8 +/- 4.1

Our defense is doing better than we predict them to be doing in giving up PPG, although cumulatively it's pretty close.

Our offense has been doing somewhere around ~20-30% worse than we are expecting it to do... although I'd probably have to run another analysis on confidence intervals to see how much (which I am not going to do b/c too lazy).

Our actual O and D differential is 20.8 points minus 15.8 points which is +5 points... a big part of which we are currently 3-1. Our defense is carryin us. But everyone already knew that...

As a collective whole in predictions we are: 228 – 113


-------------------------------------------


My prediction = 24-21 us.

I sincerely hope we can run against them so we can put up enough points to win because they will likely put up a large amount of points. I'm hoping we can hold them to 3 TDs or less.

The ending will be scary. This game will be decided on the final drive, although the Skins' should of had the game wrapped up earlier.

[PLZW1N]

[Wyndorf25]

Hate to say it...but i firmly believe that the Skins drop this one. The Eagles are too desperate and it's a divisional game. My mind tells me the Skins should win by running the ball and playing good defense, but my heart tells me that the Skins will break my heart by falling to a last second field goal....

Eagles 27
Redskins 24

[SkinsFTW]

I haven't picked against the Skins this year but I think this is the game we lose even though we beat them in Philly early last year and this team is much better. Unless Vick gets knocked out, then we win for sure if it's early.

Of course I could be totally off. I know Vick will fumble faster than Grossman and gives the defense a lot of chances to take it from him. Also I think we are due some Int's, I just don't know if Vick will continue to throw 3-4 picks a game.

Eagles have been finding ways to lose games every week but it has to end eventually so of course it'll be against us. we'll still be able to run all over them but they'll score too many points.

Eagles 31 Redskins 24

[Timmy Smith]

I predicted the Cowboys loss, but felt we'd win all the other games. This week, my prediction is that a desperate Eagles team finally digs deep and plays disciplined football, and Vick manages to avoid the flukey INTs that plagued him in Buffalo. Grossman struggles under pressure, and the Redskins injury luck finally stalls, as we lose a starter for 6-8 weeks. Eagles 31, Redskins 21. Sure hope I'm wrong.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Eagles - 59
Redskins - 28

[Bubble Screen]

Eagles 24 Redskins 17...They are backed into a corner. They probably feel if they lose this game, then their season is over. And it likely would be. You know they're evenutally gonna get it turned around. Hopefully they don't start this week. But I'm thinking they will.

[smackdown 46]

Breakout game for our offense, 35-31 Skins.

[daveakl]

Redskins 34 - Eagles 17

Vick gets knocked out in the 1st quarter.

[Chadwiko]

Yeah this will be the first team with a heavy and fearsome pass rush that Vick has come up against. A lot of their drives are kept alive by him scrambling, and I can't see that working for him this week. When he has to stay in the pocket, he makes mistakes and he takes hits.

I genuinely believe that the Skins can beat the Eagles if we play to the best of our ability.

Redskins 21
Eagles 17

Grossman 1 TD, 1 Int
Vick 2 TD, 2 Int

[Bigmuss1]

It's the Eagles at home, when was the last time we beat them at home? If it were at the Link, I'd pick us... Eagles 28 - Redskins 20.

[Aghar]

It's only Tuesday and my nerves are already shot for this game. It's ridiculous. I'm never one to use terms like "Biggest game of the year", etc but I have to admit, the way things are playing out this weekend it sure does feel like the most important in recent memory. If for no other reason than we have an opportunity to step on the throat of a badly beaten down Eagles team that would put us up 4 games on them. That along with the Giants and Cowboys looking at a very good chance of losing their matchups this weekend it would put us in the best position in our division in a decade, maybe more. I know it's only week 5, but I will feel much better if we win this weekend(not that I don't say that every weekend, but moreso this game). Over the last few years the Skins would find a way to loose this game. Here's hoping that my optimism about the direction this team is going is well founded.

Final Score -

Redskins 21
Eagles 17

Defense comes up big again. At least 3 turnovers.

Hail!

[TheGreek1973]

I am going to say 24 to 17 Skins. But my confidence level lets just say is very very measured.:(

[silent1903]

I feel I have to apologise too, for my prediction, but after having watched the Bills/Eagles match on tv, you cannot argue against the fact that the Eagles have an explosive offence - I really thought they were going to get those 17 points back in the 4th quarter.

Having said that, I think we may put together a couple of good quarters of offence, but will come up short, Eagles 31 Redskins 20.

[Riad]

Just win baby!

-Good news is this (http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2011/oct/10/little-things-are-handy-for-1st-place-redskins/):

WR Anthony Armstrong was on the field Monday but remains limited with the hamstring injury that caused him to miss the game before the bye. "He practiced what he could ... I didn't ask him to push anything until Wednesday," Shanahan said. "But I feel like there's a good chance" that Armstrong will play against Philadelphia. ...

[S.T.real,lights,out]

I have a bad feeling about this game.

Eagles 35
Skins 14

Prove me wrong please! We really need to win this one

[Long n Left]

Didn't think the Beagles would lose 4 in a row, no way I can see 5:

Philly 34
Skins 20

[DC9]

Redskins two TDs on offense, one TD by the Special Teams (Brandon Banks on a Punt Return), and two Gano field goals.

Eagles, two TDs on offense, three field goals.

Redskins 27
Eagles 23

It'll be a fight, the Eagles will be scratching like a dying rat, but well eventually find the throat and step on it.

Hail!

[TD_washingtonredskins]

My predictions haven't been right each week, but my feelings have been spot-on with the exception of opening weekend vs. the Giants. I have a bad feeling about Sunday...not necessarily anything negative about us, but more that the Eagles will stop committing odd mistakes.

I think they just straight-up outscore us in this one. I think we'll play OK and have some success on the ground. In the end though, they'll make more explosive plays which (without 3-5 turnovers) will be enough to win the game.

Eagles 30
Redskins 21

I think we can only win this game if Good Rex shows up and we can score!

[Champskins]

19 - Skins
17 - Eagles

How I did my calculation... 1 touchdown and 4 field goals which seems to be what we do with our red zone percentages.

[sportjunkie07]

38-10 skins.

[The Hangman- C_Hamberger]

What I hope to see.
The running game goes. I've watched the Eagles LB's and I am sure we can run straight at em and move the ball. Key is when faced with a long 3rd down in at least 1 series in the drive we need Cooley and Davis to keep it alive. Run and 2 tight end sets
Play a Tampa 2 defense...take away the long ball AT ALL COSTS...don't drop coverage on a scramble..let the LB's handle that...keep coverage deep and disicplined Make em work on long drives
Kerrigan and Rak need to be jacked up but contain Vic inside the hashes..let Cofield push the middle..The Eagles Oline is THE weakness...PRESURE and HIT VICK on every play

Take away the scramble and the deep throw off the scramble...keep it at 20 tards or less and make em drive at least 7 series...

On offense..we RUN the ball..keep Vick off the field..throw outs to the TE's to keep drives going with an occasional deep ball to keep them out of the box.

Skins 17 eagles 14 with the Defense making the stop in the last drive.

I WISH for a beat down like there never was...Landry avenging Jackson's hot dogging last year with a crushing hit...put Vick out when he scrambles...PAIN TIME...

That game last year was painful...This team better be jacked for a payback to knock em out of contention...WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY TO REDEEM THAT GAME!!!!

[rookieskin]

31-20 Eagles :(

[Madison Redskin]

Eagles 27, Redskins 17. The Redskins run the ball well, but "Bad Rex" shows up and the Eagles offense is too fast for our defense and puts up 3 TDs and 2 FGs.

[SAli457180]

Skins need to score points in this one because the Eagles offense is explosive. They need at 21 pts minimum here. I still think it will be close because it is the NFC East. I think the Skins break through because this is a big one for them. I'll go with 28-24 Skins

[richmond_skins]

Redskins - 31
Eagles - 17

Despite Bad Rex, our defense and running game carries the load, and a suprise return from Banks for 6.

[mike42]

Eagles 30
Skins 27
:(
Expect more life out of our offense. But the Eagles offense is much more stronger. Expect them to have less turnovers and win.

[sportjunkie07]

This team better be jacked for a payback to knock em out of contention...WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY TO REDEEM THAT GAME!!!!

it really is an opportunity, but not just to knock them out of contention.. it will send them into a downward spiral for years (imo) if we blow them out. they will be reeling with no leader on offense or defense, stuck with big contracts and the inablility to sign people they need elsewhere.

it will be awesome.

[RedskinsNation]

I think finally the Eagles play a clean game and dont turn the ball over. I know last years 59pts was a fluke but I think offensively the Eagles are going to have their way. Byeweeks are overrated and always will be.

Eagles win 27-17.

I hope i am wrong.

[Dan T.]

Redskins 74, Eagles 3.

[gortiz]

20-10 eagles ...

our redzone troubles and rex's turnovers will doom us.

[rockfan7224]

It's like some of you haven't watched the eagles play at all this season. I don't care how "explosive" their offense you simply can't fix stupid in one week. Stupid on both sides. For a team that was supposed to have a golden ticket to the super bowl, they aren't going to be anymore desperate than they were after the first four losses. They can't tackle for ****, and theyve been a turnover machine.

28-17 Skins

[dbcooper]

I think its a shootout... 30-28 skins. Iggles unfortunately throw on our D, but to everyone's surprise it is our O and Gano that bail out the game. Hail.

[SkinInsite]

38 - 14 Skins

Dragon is unleashed

[emor09]

Homer feelings, we establish run and hold the ball for 37 minutes
Redskins 27
Eagles 10

Reality, Eagles offense is going to be too much, redzone woes continue
Eagles 24
Redskins 16

[TD_washingtonredskins]

I have an additional prediction...

If we win this game, whether it's 2-0, 45-3, or 51-48, this town (me included) will be ecstatic. For us to sit at 4-1 having won games against the Giants and Eagles would be unbelievable. We'd have so much momentum going into a 2-game road trip that we basically just need to split to keep pace with the rest of the NFC East.

As a young Redskins fan, if we can win this game, it will probably be the most excited I've been since we beat Tampa in the playoffs. (even more excited than Zorn's 6-2 start)

[Pick6]

I think the Skins fix some of their Offense issues coming out of the bye and the guys gel a little better. The D continues to wreck shop. 4 sacks and 3 turnovers.

A big game, no doubt, for both teams.
The Eagles have no running game, and they know it; its all on Vick, so keeping him inside the pocket for most of the game should spell out a

yea, safeties are rare, but I think late in the game, instead of punting to Desean, they simply take a safety and give themselves a little more room...

[GibbsFactor]

From the NFC East Blog chat on ESPN.


Do you expect the redskins to be looking for revenge after last years monday night debacle?

Yes. This is a big question. We did a video feature in training camp on that game, and I talked to several Redskins players about that. They think about that game A LOT, and they are not looking at the Eagles as this 1-4 mess we're all watching every year. They're looking at them as the team that humiliated them on national TV, and they will be extremely motivated to win this game. Very dangerous game for the Eagles.

[SkinsFanPA]

Redskins 74, Eagles 3.

at halftime!

[Pick6]

I already made my prediction, but this is a huge chance for the Skins to take a 2 game lead of the East. The Giants play the Bills and the Cowboys play the Pats.

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

The Eagles are in dire straights. Little confidence. Shocking defensive. Poor O-line play. Penalties and mistakes right through the team. Not to mention key guys banged up.

But on the flip side, they OWN our ass in DC. Something like 8 or 9 in the last 11. With some real ass whooping's in there to boot, not least last year. And then there's the Redskins. An O that's been regressing since Week One. And one that can't put up points for ****. (And I know we've averaged 20 a game before some wise ass chirps up. But that's falling fast the past two weeks.). And an OC that thinks running the ball is a dirty phrase, Would anyone be surprised to see Kyle do the single worst thing, and not only put it in Rex's hands, but ask him to go deep with the rock instead of pounding it against a lame Eagles run D; and keeping it REAL simple when Rex is asked to do something? And which D will show up? The dominating front of last week? Or the one that couldn't get a lick on an injured Romo with little receiving help the week before?

This is a MUST win game for me. To finish the Eagles season (and make no mistake if they fall to 1-5, and 0-2 in the division their done); and be in GREAT shape for a serious run at not only the post-season, but the division ourselves would be out of this World for this team.

Sadly, I fear we've seen this picture before.

Reality hits Redskins land. Eagles win by at least 2 TD's.

Hail.

[skins island connection]

I know its all in fun, but tell ya what; IF the Skins put up a 50 burger on the Eagles AND win, I'll have the arrow logo shaved into my scalp. 60 burger and I'll do a reverse mohawk...:pfft:

We eek it out after the eagles mount a comeback in the 4th quarter to almost win.

[War Paint]

I have to go with the Skins on this one for a few reasons. The Skins are coming off a bye week. The Eagles killed us last year after our bye week, but we are a different team and should be ready. Another reason is things are real bad in Philly.....real bad. They are hiring a defensive consultant. They are in the mode we were in during Zorn's second year. If you punch Philly in the mouth early, I think they will fold. I've read some of the Eagles fans forums and many are actually pulling for their team to lose, to guarantee some head rolling. It's that bad. This game shouldn't be close, unless Rex has a very bad game. That is a possibility. The only way I see us losing is if we have a terrible game, where Rex has a 3 int game and some of our players have a case of the fumbles. I'm going to lean on us looking pretty sharp since we had a bye.

Redskins-24

[diehardskinpsoup]

I picked the score yesterday. I'm sticking with it: Redskins 38 vs. Eagles 35


sidenote: Skins defense yields 21. 14 points come off fumble and int.


HTTR!!!

[fancrazyskin]

My prediction 27 Skins 14 Fuciggles. I believe that we will run the ball much better than the weeks past, Torain, Helu & mix of Hightower on third and goal line situations. A heavy dose of running will keep the Eagles defense honest and take the pressure off of Rex and alloy him to just manage the game. Look for either Cooley or Davis to eat up the middle of the field on play action and Anthony if healthy to stretch the field. I don't believe I'm to worried about this game. There defensive woes are not going to magical get fixed over night it is what it is some ****. I have faith in our defense unit as a whole. I know that the E-gales can score on any given play but as I posted in another thread they haven't faced a defense as good as our yet.

28-14 Eagles skins blow 14 point halftime lead

[Wildbunny]

That's a tough one to guess...
I don't see the eagles scoring on us like last year. I also don't see us blow them out.
Like any divisional match ups, it will be tough.

I'd say
24-21 (OT) Redskins.

[MrJL]

31-21 Redskins. Torain, Hightower and Helu all get a touchdown

[That Redskins Fan]

I really do not understand the negative thoughts on this game

the eagles cannot stop the run..period there emotional leader trent cole is out.

The eagles linebackers are a joke. yes kyle might be stupid and have rex pass for the twenty times if so i am going to be *%%^^&((()) upset

.If there is any weaknes that can be exploited on the eagles is they cannot stop the run and some of you seem to forget our players did not forget last yrs ass kicking.

Tough game still 24-21 skins

That's what I'm saying. People need to admit that the Eagles just flat out suck this year (primarily in the coaching dept.). Sure they have talent, but we all saw where that got the Cowboys last year.

If we lose, it'll be because of our mistakes, not because we were beat.

The Eagles are an underachieving team. I think it is far-fetched to say they suck. Every game they lost could've easily went the other way. They actually have been beating themselves this year.

Their offense is hands down better than the skins, but we have the better defense. One thing to realize is that they still have pro bowlers all over that secondary so Grossman has to be careful. The only way the redskins have a chance is if they run well. If Philly miraculously develops a run defense that game, it will be a long day for the redskins, b/c the eagles offense WILL put up points.

Eagles have been finding ways to lose games every week but it has to end eventually so of course it'll be against us. we'll still be able to run all over them but they'll score too many points.

Eagles 31 Redskins 24

I've heard this several times now & I'm gonna go the other way. I think they continue to find ways to lose & that this is the beginning of the end for Andy Reid in Philthy. I think he has lost the players & his staff & the few that still listen & buy into his schemes aren't getting thru to the others & they are roguing it at this point to try on individual levels to win games.

I think our defense makes big plays this week, Ryan Kerrigan will have Vick in fits & running into Orakpo, Fletcher, McIntosh & Cofield. They create turnovers & even score points again.

I dont think the defence will keep them out of the end zone when it gets late. I predict Washington winning in the first half, but blow the lead in the second half. I love our redskins, but I think we come burning down this comming sunday.

I hate to say it, but I think the Eagles have an edge in this one. They are desperate, this is an NFC East game, and it would be huge if they go down to us this week. It would be very hard for them to bounce back to win the division if they lose this one. Statistically, they've been off the charts on offense, and that frightens me. If they decide to play this game like their whole season depends on a win, and the 'Skins don't answer, the Eagles will win easily. If the 'Skins can force the Eagles to make errors like they have been, then they have a chance.

On the 'Skins side, I think this is a defining game. It will tell all of us fans who have lived through the glory years if Shanny and Co. are for real and if good things are in store for the future. I felt the Dallas game was such a game, and the 'Skins failed when facing an opponent that was beaten up and whose QB was maligned all the previous week. They need to step us this week and show the world that they are for real and one of the best teams in the NFL, or that they are still one or two years away.

I hope the 'Skins win, but my gut tells me that the Eagles are the more desperate team and win this one easily: 34-17. Prove me wrong, 'Skins!!!

[gortiz]

i know some of these posts are bad jokes, (e.g. skins 70, eagles 0) but, anyone thinks the skins score more than 21 is nuts. our offense is so damn inconsistent.

our lack of scoring int he redzone and rex's mistakes are gonna kill us.

our D will keep it close for a little while but we won't be able to hang the entire game.

sucks

[windsofcreation]

I hate to say it but you're all dreaming. We're not going to come close this week.

Eagles - 38
Skins - 21

[Brixtion_skin]

I only seem to find these threads when I think the Skins will get beat. 38-20 to the Eagles. It will be close until the Redskins have to chase the game. Late pick six to flater the Eagles. :(

[Redskins Ruckus]

Redskins 23,Eagles 20 (OT)

[Destino]

This is unfortunately the first loss I am predicting for the skins (we should have won that damn cowboy game!)

24-17 Eagles over the skins.

This game has bad written all over it. The Eagles are in a must win situation and their speed presents a very bad match up for Redskins. I'm not even entirely sure that Kyle Shanahan will move away from stretch running plays against their defense and pound the middle.

One more year man.

We went D heavy to great affect this past off season.

Next we get to address the O with some heavy hitters.

All in stages,

Hail.

[UK SKINS FAN '74]

Last years blowout has me mentally scarred for this game. I can't help but think we'll get easily beaten 34-20.

However, I hope that is just the bad memories over ruling what I really think, Skins win 24-20. :ols:

[clskinsfan]

24-6 eagles


Lol! we only score 6 points against that defense?

Eagles were in a must win last week. They are toast. We should wreck them. They are in Zorn's second season mode.

[TD_washingtonredskins]

You know, I wondered about this. You would think that stretch plays won't succeed vs. the Wide Nine I keep hearing about. We seem to run some quick-hitting/up-the-middle plays whenever Helu is in there so I'm hoping we lean on those in this match up. I guess we'll see.

[Boss_Hogg]

LOL at all the drive-by predictions from the Fecal Phans.

[CrabR]

I cant get a feel for this game

Eagles are like an animal backed into a corner. If they score first it could ignite them. Go down by 10 pts or so and they may cave for the season, We remember last years loss and than should fire us up, but we never play that great coming off a bye. I hope we stayed focused

I know we better guard on Jackson long down the middle on the opening play, I would bet they repeat on the opening play again

Or we can just win the coin toss.

[AldersonRedskinFan]

Redskins win 24-20. Torain rushes for 150 yds and 2 TDs.

[SkinsGuy]

Man, there are a lot of WUSSIES (they call themselves "realists" :ols: ) with no faith in their team on this thread. Not only predicting a loss, but many predicting a blowout loss. :rolleyes: :doh:

Everyone talking about how awesomely explosive the Eagles offense is seems to forget that we are probably the best defense they have faced up to this point.

If the Eagles come in here cocky thinking this is the same 'D' they rolled up 59 on last year (as apparently a lot of you faithless are concluding), and the Redskins will be an easy win to get healthy on, they are going to be in for a shock.

Believe in your team........I say 24-20 Skins :logo:

[TD_washingtonredskins]

Does believe in your team mean that you have to think they will win every game? I know that this team is solid enough to win every game, but they won't do that. NFL teams lose games from time to time. I could contribute to these threads with a best case scenario every week, but that's not realism.

[onedrop]

31-21 Skins.

vick gets put out. we run so much it sets up a flea flicker TD.

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

31-21 Skins.

That would be AWESOME!

When was the last time we saw that play to result in a TD?

I'm thinking way back in Gibbs first go-around. The '91 season maybe with Ryp?

Hail.

no **** man ... I'm about as pessimistic as pessimistic gets for this game. Rex is a house of cards ... he is a disaster waiting to happen.Banks all of the sudden strikes fear in no one. Armstrong, our only verticle threat is hobbled.

Our D can only hold on for so long ... i have a feeling they will be nails for a few quarters and then our O will sabotage their efforts.

i'm sorry dudes, i usually can find a glimmer of hope, but i'm in the dumps about this one. this is a major gut check game and we usually fail in these instances. It is plain and simple, philly wants this and needs this more than us.

[Coolio47]

I don't think I have ever seen the Redskins attempt a flea flicker since I have been a fan.

Yep, this game will go a long way towards seeing if we are real this year or not.

In fact, it's been this way for the past 3 games... Dallas, Rams, Philly..

[hail2skins]

Eagles 28
Redskins 21

[ReMaDE]

[QUOTE=braindx;8600368]So I've been keeping track of how we are doing (as a whole) prediction wise in the previous threads.

I am an Statistics Analyst and I am pretty sure this is the most exciting thing I have ever seen!!!! AMAZING!

---------- Post added October-13th-2011 at 11:03 PM ----------

24 17 Skins

[braindx]

So far....

55 for skins win, 32 for eagles win.

Pretty close relative to the other games (all things considered... we are on a skins message board :))

[skinsforlife101]

The Eagles rush defense is horrible. Their are major questions about the Eagles offensive line. The skins are coming off a bye week.

Redskins- 20
Eagles- 13

[Patrick Evidente]

Redskins - 31
Eagles - 21

[mike42]

The last time I can remember was during the Norv Turner era.
In reply to Gibbs Hog Heaven.

[carverkid]

Prediction: We are about to witness the beginning of the Leonard Hankerson era.

[The Waiting TrophyMan]

I think this one will be decided by a field goal, but I don't know who will win it. Of course I hope the Skins win, but the Eagles are desperate.

[Bubble Screen]

No offense, but these threads are kind of corny. I mean, every week probably 90% of the posters here predict we'll win. What's the point? You always have the homers, that would pick us to win every single game. Then you have the ones that don't necessarily think we'll win, but still pick us to win, as to not come off as being less of a fan for having picked against their team.

[SKINS'n'Spurs]

The point is the same with all the threads to spark conversation and perhaps someone will say something of worth and you learn something new....But yes, beyond entertaining ourselves with the how close we can pick them this thread is not going to tell us much apart from what we already know. I'm a big fan of the statistics though;
maybe we can bust out some Z scores for next week

I predict:
Eagles 23
Skins 27

(at least one of our TDs will be from our DEF....hopefully)

[Bobbyst21]

Im scared to touch this thread this week.
27-24 skins.last minute field goal to win.

[COWBOY-KILLA-]

Skins win comfortably 27-17. Eagles meet their nail in the coffin!!

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

The last time I can remember was during the Norv Turner era.
In reply to Gibbs Hog Heaven.

You may well be right Mike. I was thinking we'd have to go back to Joe's first go-around, but Norv was pretty darn inventive when he wanted to be too.


Prediction: We are about to witness the beginning of the Leonard Hankerson era.

Man I sincerely hope your right. The sooner he's active and experiencing everything that goes with a live action game day in the pro's the better. Dudes got serious talent.

Just smile and wave man and roll with it.

Just a silly fan thing that passes the week.

Hail.

[mzkp54]

I think we'll need 3 touchdowns by our offense to win this, in addition to FG's and possibly defensive scoring. Our defense is good enough to win this game, our offense just needs TD's, not FG's

Skins 31
Eagles 21

[pjfootballer]

Tough, close game. I haven't really made a prediction all year, but what the hell. I think our redzone woes continue, but we kick alot of FGs and control the ball on the ground with Torain/Helu. I think the defense plays well enough to force some turnovers and we win a close one, 26-24.

Gano hits 4 FGs, the last one with 1:30 left in the game from 35 yards out and Philly tries to get into FG position, but Vick throws a pick on our 40 and each and every one of us have 10 years taken off our life.

[Travdaskin]

Eagles - 24
Redskins - 16

Of course it's corny. But it's also fun too and might as well make something out of nothing when we are all salivating for games throughout the week.

Only reason I'm doing it is I like to see this kinda thing and it doesn't take much to compile scores into excel and have it spit out the numbers

[Poman]

34-31 Iggles :( We run all over them, but in the end they get a big pass play for the W.... I think I read somewhere that Hall is injured(knee) as well? That doesnt help...

[braindx]

Well, here they are:

Game 5: 96 Total, 62 Redskins win, 34 Eagles win
Predicted scores:
Redskins: 23.5 +/- 6.9 (95% confidence interval is 9.7 to 37.3 points)
Eagles: 23.1 +/- 7.9 (95% confidence interval is 7.3 to 38.9 points)

Very close average predicted score even though about 2x more redskins victory predictions than Eagles. Which means Redskins fans tended to predict a close victory and the fans who predicted the Eagles to win predicted moderate to blowout victories.

[Coolio47]

I don't think I have ever seen the Redskins attempt a flea flicker since I have been a fan.

Now I have.
