Who will win?

I think most NFL teams *should* win their home games... or at minimum be favored. I also feel like the Chiefs team you Skins will be facing will be rather different than the team that played in week 4.

Willie Roaf, our all pro left tackle, is back this week after missing the previous 3 (+a bye week) to a hammy pull. Eric Warfield will be returning from suspension and will be a valuable addition to our secondary. He's our best corner outside of Surtain. Vermiel hasn't given him his starting job back yet. He's having to earn it. John Welbourne (OT/OG) is back in will provide veteran depth and skill for the O-line.

With Roaf back, expect the line play to vastly improve and our deep patterns will have the time develop. if our offense starts clicking like previous years, we become extremely difficult to deal with. Teams need to score often to keep pace when we get on a roll. This is why having Eric Warfield back is so important. The secondary has not played well. Eric is a vast improvement over Dexter McCleon. Add to this fact that the 'Skins offense is not their strong suit. That bodes well for the Chiefs.

I think the Chiefs win 31-17.

The only chance the Redskins have is to be good enough defensively to hold down our offense. If they can.. the game can stay close and it's anyones guess who wins.

2005 Stats (Per Game) and Rank

.............................Redskins..........................Chiefs

Total Offense...........367.0 (8.)...........................345.3 (12)
Rush Offense...........133.5 (7)............................135.3 (5)
Pass Offense............233.5 (12)..........................210.0 (18.)
Total Defense...........282.0 (5)............................367.8 (27)
Rush Defense...........103.8 (15).............................94.5 (7)
Pass Defense............178.3 (6)............................273.3 (30)
Turnover Ratio.......... -5 (25).................................0 (17t)
Pts Per Game............ 15.5 (26t)...........................22.8 (13)
Opp. Pts./Game......... 14.5 (5).................................22.8 (22)

Based on these stats for the first 4 games of the season I see that KC's D lets in 8.3 more points per game than the Skins stingy D. thats good for the # 8 Ranked Offense in the league the Redskins. I don't know if you have seen the Skins play at all this season but the O is strong now. We are gaining 367 yards per game, KC is allowing 367.8 yards per game and is ranked 27th in the league, looks to me like Washington will have a HUGE offensive showing.
Washingtons D is allowing 7.3 points LESS per game than KC is used to scoring.
So to me it's the #8 O (Skins) in the leage vs. the #27 D (Chiefs)
And the #5 D (Skins) vs the #12 O (Chiefs)

I say our O has the edge Big Time, and your O will pound the ball against us, no doubt but I don't see them scoring over 21 pts.

Skins Win 38 (yup, I said 38.) to 21

Portis gets his first 2 TDs of the season and the Brunell to Moss connection gets that much more powerfull.

Very poor comparison. Let me illustrate why...

You showed that in yards per game.. the 'Skins are 8th.. and in yards allowed the Chiefs are 27th.

What you failed to mention in your #'s was that for all those yards you get.. your scoring per game is 26th ! Our points allowed per game is 22nd. Thats after facing Philly and Denver, both of which would be considered GOOD offenses !

Yes you move the ball alot.. but you don't score. I saw the Dallas game and the Denver game. You guys don't complete drives. You get behind us early... well... see the Jets game for how that turns out ... because you all are NOT Philly !!

Good Luck !

we are the 12th offense in the league after 4 games without the BEST LEFT TACKLE IN FOOTBALL. period we are top 5 with him top 15 without him i guarentee (sp?) we get over 350 total yards and i'll take u up on your sig wager!!!!

p.s. your 38-21 prediction is rediculous. i have no problem with u pickin the skins but by 17 AT ARROWHEAD is REDICULOUS, ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS

What I think you fall to realize also is that Eric WArfield is back, which means Dexter is off the field. The safety don't have to baby sit Warfield and will be able to head hunt and punish the run. The key for every chiefs game and IMO the season is for ERIC HICKS to have a BIG YEAR. The D line is the weakest part of this offense, no secondary can cover WR and TE all day, if we get pressure on the QB its over.
Also on the O side, Roaf and Welborn are back. This means that our line is a moving wall. I think they'll either but welborn ar RT or at RG and move shields outside, and with Roaf back Trent will finally have a pocket.

So in the end this game is either a race or a blow out and that all depends if Hicks and the D line show up.

I think KC forces Washington into some early mistakes and takes advantage of those mistakes...KC 24 and WSH 10
