Packers at Redskins Game Set-Up
Green Bay
The Packers fell to 1-0-1 in their last game with a 29-29 home tie against the Minnesota Vikings where they covered the spread as a 2-point underdog and the 58 points easily crossed the 45 points total line.
The Packers are coming off a rare tie in their last game where they had a little luck on their side with Minnesota missing three field goals in the game. Aaron Rodgers looked pretty good on a bad wheel, and his mobility will be limited in this game as well. Green Bay faced Minnesota, who had the best defense in the league last season and this Sunday facing Washington, who has the top-rated defense after two games.
Note: Green Bay will get back RB Aaron Jones, who missed the opening two games because of a suspension, and he will look to help a run game that ranks only 25th in the league.
Washington
The Redskins fell to 1-1 with a surprising 21-9 home loss to the Indianapolis Colts where they failed to cover as a 6-point favorite, and the low offensive output had UNDER bettors cashing their tickets.
After a convincing win in the desert beating the Arizona Cardinals 24-6 in the season opener, they lost at home in their last game 21-9 to the Indianapolis Colts. Alex Smith had nearly 300 passing yards with no picks but also had no TD, and the Skins only rushed for 65 yards. The Colts packed the front-line D to stop the run, and they were in the backfield constantly. They have to set up a game-plan for that, as you can be sure the Packers will follow the Colts’ blueprint.
Redskins’ RB Rob Kelly has been placed on injured reserve, so if the Redskins are going to control the ball, they will need Adrian Peterson to improve off of his 20 yards on 11 carries in the last week’s loss to the Colts.
Basic Stats
This season the Packers rank 17th in the league in total offense, and 24th in total defense and the Redskins rank 12th in total offense and 1st in total defense.
Last Meeting
