***SNF IN THE SWAMP - GB @ WASH***
***GREEN BAY PACKERS @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS***
A little NFC Wildcard rematch takes center stage tonight when the Green Bay Packers return to the scene of the crime in Washington where they eliminated the 'Skins. It ended up being a lopsided defeat when the Redskins last hosted the Pack by a score of 35-18. The Redskins have come out and stated that they remember this crushing defeat very well which makes me believe they would love nothing more than to try and get some vengeance by kicking the mighty Green Bay Packers while they're down. The Packers have been very unlike themselves and have no dropped 3 straight games after getting absolutely destroyed in Tennessee last week. The Titans manhandled the Packers from start to finish and just proved to the rest of us that all is not well in Green Bay. There are whispers of problems on the inside with possibly QB Aaron Rodgers not getting along with his teammates or Head Coach Mike McCarthy for that matter. There have also been rumblings that McCarthy may actually be on the hot seat if this disappointing season continues down this bumpy road. I think the problem is simple; injuries, mainly to the defense. Their defense is shot, especially in the secondary. Also without their emotional leader in LB Clay Matthews and they are lost out there. Unfortunately for them, I don't believe it gets any better for them tonight in Washington. This place will be AMPED up to get a big Prime Time win at home and in such a strong division with the surging NFC East, the Redskins can't afford to lose a game. I think this Washington defense gets after Rodgers tonight and continue to make things difficult for this Packer's offense to get going. They are returning RB James Sparks and just signed the ex-Seahawk Christine Michael who will most likely not be a factor tonight just yet. I think the Redskin offense will have no problem through the air against this Packer secondary. It is almost kickoff so I will wrap it up. The Skins get the win, and carry their momentum into Dallas on Turkey Day in a Cowboys & Indians showdown while everybody chows down on some bird, how fitting! REDSKINS-3
