Score prediction

I know that the Redskins are coming off a blowout win, but I think that this game could finish similarly to that. They simply have the Colts beat in too many facets to let themselves lose.

The only Wild Card could be the coaching. Jay Gruden’s game plan for the first contest was excellent. Will he be able to adjust in game two? Who knows? Meanwhile, Frank Reich will only be coaching the second game of his career, so the adjustments he is set to make could have the potential to surprise as well.

Barring a ridiculous performance from Andrew Luck, the Colts seem likely to fall out of contention early on in this contest. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Redskins win by double digits again, and totaling a season-high in points isn’t out of the question.

I don’t see how Washington can lose this game. Perhaps that is a bad sign, but for now, we’ll lean on them as a big winner in Week 2.
