Premium Pick

This is not a good spot for winless Washington, getting outscored by an average of 26.5-11.5 this preseason. QB Colt McCoy has not been ready to play from day one, so Case Keenum and rookie Dwayne Haskins have combined for two TDs, two picks and six sacks. The ground attack has been terrible, getting 59 yards rushing last week and 82 yards (3.0 ypc) in the opener. Meanwhile, the defense has allowed 327 and 243 yards passing. Washington has scored three, 13, 20, 17, 10, 17 and 13 points its last seven preseason road games for an average of 12.85 points per game while losing five of them. Atlanta is home for the second straight week and has had an extra preseason contest after playing the Hall of Fame game. They have dynamite QB depth and experience with Matt Ryan, Matt Simms and Matt Schaub. Ryan made his first appearance of the preseason last Thursday (10-of-14, 118 yards) and three of those incomplete passes were drops by the receivers, including two that would have been touchdowns. Look for more time from the starters and a big bust-out by the home team. Play Atlanta.
