With the Redskins up 27-10 late in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Texans, I took a quick break to go fix some dinner, thinking that a three-score cushion would hold up. I forgot that I was watching the Redskins, who have only won five games by more than a single score dating back to 2006. What started out as a powerful offensive display by the Redskins ultimately turned into defensive surrender, as the Texans overcame the 17-point deficit to win 30-27 in overtime.

Are you prepared for a 2-0 Washington Redskins football team? The Houston Texans roll into Landover on Sunday on the heels of an absolute throttling of reigning AFC champion Indianapolis. While not as flashy, the Redskins are carrying some confidence of their own based on how bad they made Dallas look last Sunday night. So which team will prevail? After plugging the numbers into the mainframe and performing careful analysis, the signs point to a second consecutive Redskins victory.
