Best-case record: 13-3

Make no mistake: Washington can be very good in 2018. If we’re looking for the absolute best-case scenario, then this is it.

For all teams, the absolute best-case scenario is a little too rich. There’s a reason it’s called the “absolute best” Teams won’t be predicted to do much better.

While there isn’t a game on the Redskins schedule that the burgundy and gold are surefire winners in, there is no game that the Redskins are destined to lose.

The only three games listed as losses in the best-case scenario are at Philadelphia, versus the Houston Texans, and versus the New Orleans Saints, because even in a best-case scenario, the Redskins will still lose a couple close games.

If a lot of things go right, the offense stays healthy, and scheming stays consistent, Jay Gruden can string together wins as seen above. The Redskins can achieve a double-digit season. Maybe not 13-3, but the potential is there for a pleasant surprise of a season.
