Bold predictions for the Washington Football Team’s game against the Panthers.

The Washington Football Team is getting ready for their most important game of the season. A trip to the playoffs is on the line for them in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year. Yes, they can clinch the NFC East in Week 16 if things break right for them.

If Washington beats the Carolina Panthers and the New York Giants lose to the Baltimore Ravens, the Washington Football Team will win the division. Granted, they’ll have only a 7-8 record and can only finish .500 at best, but this team was expected to compete for a top-five pick, not a playoff spot. So, that’s a big win for Ron Rivera in his first year.

Of course, to get to that ultimate endgame goal, the team has to win and, more importantly, put forth their best effort against the Panthers. The Panthers are 4-10, but they have enough weapons on offense to give Washington a good battle.

This game will be a hard-fought one on both sides. Rivera will really want this one, not just to improve the team’s chances of winning a divisional title, but also to get a measure of revenge against his former team after being fired by them before the end of last season.

With all that said, here are some bold predictions for the Washington Football Team’s important Week 16 game against the Panthers.
