Washington at Carolina

What a big win for Washington last week. Ooooh. Sense a bit of sarcasm? I’m not sold. For some crazy reason Seattle chose NOT to blitz the Redskins last week and it cost them the game. Spurrier went for it on 4th and inches from his own 25 yard line with plenty of time to go in a tied ball game. A few inches less on that play and we’re looking at a 3-6 Skins team that is a 9 point underdog in this contest. Instead, we get a break! My power ratings indicate Carolina should be laying well over ten points in this one. I hope John Fox is listening: The key to beating the Redskins is to rush Patrick Ramsey. Carolina has the weapons to do just that and they have a great running game. Stephen Davis is listed as probable for this game with an ankle injury but I can’t see him missing this game unless he’s on his death bed. He will be playing with a purpose against his former team – a team that released him last year. Bad blood spells good situation for us. Last week’s game will be exposed as a fluke for the Skins who get hammered in this one.
