For Washington they were the first to experience the Chip Kelly Experience against Philadelphia. That combined with some rust on RGIII led them to lose at home. Green Bay on the other hand was skewered by the passing of Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers.

The lone bright spot is that they seemed to have a handle on stopping the read option which they should see some of on Sunday. Its not really fair to Washington because a lot of their prep for last week will help this week too.

Washington

The Redskins fought back against the Eagles in the 4th quarter but it just wasn’t enough in the end to overtake Philadelphia. Now they are in serious trouble heading to Green Bay trying to avoid the dreaded 0-2 start.

To do so they are going to need a stellar game from Robert Griffin, the kind of game Colin Kaepernick just had when he shredded the Packers for more than 400 yards.

Last week he threw two interceptions after throwing only 5 all last season and just never looked comfortable, which makes sense given that he didn’t see any game action until the opener. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

The Eagles ran around and through the Skins but that is not exactly a strong suit of Green Bay so they may get a reprieve. If you call trying to slow down one of the best passing attacks in the NFL a reprieve.

Green Bay

The Packers have two choices after last week. They can doubt themselves and spiral or they can accept that CK and the 49ers have their number and move on with the rest of their season.

I am presuming the latter as their was still the positive of the passing game having a lot of success against a very good San Fran defense to take away from last week.

It wasn’t QB Aaron Rodgers absolute best day but more than three hundred yards and a few scores was a nice start. It was also good to see receivers Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb step up, they both had 100 plus yard receiving days.

Other than the pass defense there was also disappointment that rookie running back Eddie Lacy didn’t give that part of the game that much of a lift but it was just one game and they were playing catch up throughout so lets give it a few more weeks before we declare they don’t have a running game again.

Spread Pick: Washington +9
O/U Pick: Over
Score Prediction: Green Bay 38 – Washington 31
