NFL Record Predictions: Where do the Redskins end up in the pack?
By Ian Cummings
The Redskins are 0-0.
No one truly knows how the Washington Redskins, along with the rest of the NFL, will perform, and no one will get every record prediction right. The beauty of the NFL offseason is in its subjectivity. From draft season to preseason, no opinion, if founded on reason, is truly wrong.
In the lead-up to preseason, the hype has been building around the Redskins and their young core, and thus, record predictions for the Redskins span from three wins to thirteen. Many fans are still skeptical, as this team has sold false hope before. But emboldened followers have dared to peg the Redskins as a double-digit win team, and have spoken of future playoff exploits.
There’s just one problem with that optimism. There are 31 other teams in the NFL. Some of them need to win, too. Some of them deserve to win more. But how many?
To visualize where the Redskins fall in place in the NFL pecking order, and how the Redskins might finish the season, we used an NFL record predictor to play through all 256 regular season games. Can the Redskins fight for a playoff spot? Or will their winning ways be postponed for yet another year? Here are our 2019 NFL record predictions.
