No. 2 – No one gets injured

For the Redskins, in any game, this is about as bold as it gets.

There’s no specific reasoning behind this prediction, other than the notion that the Redskins have to be due for a clean game, health-wise, after they’ve had well over 50 players go on injured reserve over the past 34 games. They have to be due for one. Right?

Whatever the case, the Redskins can’t afford a bad game in this area. They’re already down several starters, including Jordan Reed and Quinton Dunbar (most likely), and more injuries would simply compound the blow of their absences.

If it only gets worse, don’t blame the jinx. It was going to happen anyway. But if there’s one thing the Redskins could use, almost more than a win itself, it’s a game with clean health.
