The Redskins mercifully close out their 2018 campaign on Sunday, in a 4:25 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The game was flexed to a later time, in order to be broadcast to a greater region, but that is of no fault of the Washington Redskins; instead, it’s to cover the Eagles’ continued bid at a Super Bowl repeat. To make the playoffs, and give themselves a chance at a second straight Cinderella run, the Eagles must beat Washington. They are the team in the spotlight.

Washington is nothing but a team in the way.

In a perfect world, the Redskins would play for respect, and fight to the last second. But the team simply isn’t in shape to compete with a playoff contender for four quarters. Injuries have demolished the roster, and the coaching staff, if not already completely disheartened, is not fit to lead the team to victory.

Still, this is the Washington Redskins we’re talking about. No one ever knows what to expect. So, for one last time in 2018, let’s get creative, and put together our bold predictions for the Redskins’ impending contest. It’s time to get bold!
