***TEA & CRUMPETS IN THE SWAMP - WASH @ CIN***

***WASHINGTON REDSKINS @ CINCINNATI BENGALS***

Another matchup overseas kicks off week 8 in just a few as the Redskins take on the Bengals. For the sake of time, I will keep this short and sweet. The Skins are 4-3 and coming off a loss after ripping off 4 straight wins to turn their season around after an 0-2 start. The Bengals on the other hand have struggled to find themselves so far this season and despite having one of the toughest schedules in the NFL to start this season, they are currently 3-4 and looking to hit that .500 mark this morning. Last week's win against the Browns I believe served them well as a "get right game" and helped them to build some confidence and motivation before heading on this road trip. They got their Pro Bowl Tight End Tyler Eifert back last week although he was mainly just a decoy. His presence alone helps this offense tremendously and he should have a bigger impact every week as he gets healthier. The Skins will get back a TE of their own in Jordan Reed. I don't like his chances across this middle with the striped assassin LB Vontaze Burfict. This is probably a bad game for concussion prone Reed to come back in. It also looks like CB Josh Norman will play and matchup with Cincy's stud WR AJ Green which will provide for some good entertainment. Basically I think the Bengals are starting to click and feel good about themselves and will get it done against their old assistant coach Jay Gruden today. It was QB Andy Dalton's birthday, and I think the Red Rifle goes and has himself a game here. BENGALS-3
