Leo's Game of the Week
By Leonard Henry
Special to sfl-football.com

Patriots @ Redskins

In my Predictions i chose the Redskins , heres why i think the Redskins will win.

Injuries
The Patriots have Two key injuries in MLB Tedy Bruschi (10 weeks) and
DT Chad Eaton which is returning but there is still a uknown factor if he will be back this week.

The Redskins are Injury Free


So Redskins win this catagory

Passing
The Patriots Tom Brady has 65,6 QB Rating ( 712 Yards, 6 Ints 4 TD)
The Redskins Stevve Mcnair has a 81.1 QB rating (747 Yards,3 Ints 6 TDS)

Redskins have a slightly better statistical Evaluation over the Patriots'

Rushing

The Patriots HB
When Draft time came around the Patriots were praised for selecting Musa Smith, however Smiths performance so far into this early part of the season has been lacking. HB Musa Smith 282 yards 3.92 avg 2TDs

Redskins HB
Stephen Davis has been doing really well this year with a 5.92 avg, If the Patriots are going to win they must go into the game with the plan to stop Stephen with perhaps a bit of 8 man front. Stephen Davis 379 Yards 5.92avg, 1 TD

Reciving
With the Redskins QB slightly leading the Passing catagory it is easy to see that they are also going to lead the reciving catagory as well.

Patriots WR 633 Yards 4 TDS 5 drops

Redskins WR 742 Yards 6 TDS 8 drops

Blocking
Patriots Oline has done well only allowing Tom Brady to get sacked 2 times
Patriots have 68 Pancakes and have only 2 sacks

Redskins
Redskins have done good also allowing only 3 sacks
Redskins have 118 Pancakes and have allowed 3 sacks

Patriots when it comes to a better OL


Defense

Patriots
Sacks: 5
Deflections: 24
Interceptions: 2
Forced Fumbles: 6

Redskins
Sacks: 7
Deflections: 15
Interceptions: 1
Forced Fumbles: 1

Patriots win this catagory
Looks to be a pretty close Defensive battle with the Patriots slightly ahead when it comes to forced fumbles. Could this be a factor in this game ???


Catagorys: 6
Patriots: Defense,OL
Redskins: Passing,Rushing, Receiving,Less Injuries


Predicted Win: Redskins
