The Redskins scored a dominating win in their exhibition opener last week, thrashing the Bills 42-17 at FedEX Field. Baltimore Ravens vs Washington Redskins 2010 NFL Preseason Predictions, Odds & PicksWashington had 24 first downs, 352 total yards, and 12 third down conversions (19 attempts) in dismantling Buffalo.

The victory marked an impressive Redskins debut for Head Coach Mike Shanahan as well as quarterback Donovan McNabb. McNabb completed 5-of-8 passes for 58 yards and a touchdown in helping lead Washington to a 21-3 halftime advantage. 

Free agent acquisition Rex Grossman also had a solid outing for his new team as he threw for 140 yards and touchdown strikes of nine and 44 yards.

Ryan Torain, one of three free agent running backs the team signed in the offseason, led the 'Skins in rushing with 62 yards in 17 carries. Clinton Portis, the likely starter come week one, had six carries for 22 yards. Larry Johnson, another offseason addition, is scheduled to get the start tonight against the Ravens; Johnson did not play in last week's opener.

Baltimore did not light up the stat sheet in its preseason opener; however, the Ravens still scored a 17-12 victory over the Panthers. Starting quarterback Joe Flacco, who played into the second quarter, finished the evening with a 127.1 passer rating after completing 8-of-12 passes for 120 yards and a touchdown.

New additions Dante Stallworth and Anquan Boldin performed adequately in their limited reps, combining for two receptions and 38 yards. Ray Rice, who surprised last season by rushing for 1339 yards and seven scores, did not play in the ball game.

The Ravens defense held Carolina to 273 total yards and spoiled the NFL debut of quarterback Jimmy Clausen, who threw for 80 yards and an inteception in the loss.

It is difficult to envision this matchup turning into a shootout, especially if Washington tries to establish the run with Johnson against Baltimore's starting front seven. The Under 38.5 seems like the play in this East Coast meeting.
