The Green Packers will look to rebound when they host the Washington Redskins after a second half collapse last week against the Bears cost them moving on to (5-0).
The Packers were 3 point favs when their lack of a running game cost them in a 20-27 loss on Monday Night Football. The Redskins (3-1) were dominant on both sides of the ball last week in a 34-3 win at home vs Detroit as -4 favs. Internet sportsbook SportsBetting.com has the Green Bay Packers -3 point home favorites.
For Green Bay (4-1) to have success against a strong Redskins team they will need to get their running game to keep the Redskins from loading up with blitzes on Brett Favre. The Packers running game has been poor but it looked a little better last week and they will receive a small boost when starter Brandon Jackson returns from injury.
The Redskins offense has had problems of their own as they have been unable to have any consistency in the red zone. Washington QB Jason Campbell has been able to move the ball through the air but this week he will be tested by Green Bay’s solid corners.
One key match-up in this game will be the Green Bay front seven vs the Redskins ground game. The Packers front seven is physical and hard hitting but they have given up 4.0 yards per carry. The Redskins right side of their offensive line is suspect so Portis might have to contend with an extra man in the box in this game. The weather in Green Bay is going to rainy so this game could be determined by the running game and defense. SportsBetting.com has the TOTAL at 40 points.
