Week 9 Predictions: NFC North

Packers, Bears, and Lions all on Bye.

This is NOT the game to bring RG3 back. Minnesota has silently played fantastic defense this season, and TCF Bank Stadium doesn't have the nicest surface to play on with a bad ankle (granted, Washington's playing surface might be one of the worst in the league). I really don't get it. McCoy's got the hot hand, is completing close to or slightly above 90% of his passes so far, and the Redskins are going into a bye after this week. Jay Gruden--I implore you to let the kid heal for two more weeks. Don't risk him on this suspect surface against a defense that's suffocating opposing offenses, not to mention the QB hunter that Everson Griffin has become over the past 4 games will be chasing Griffin all game. I predict an inefficient game for RG3 with a handful of turnovers, an offense that never gets going (not that the Vikings offense is going to light it up), and overall just a poor performance after two nice wins for the Redskins. Jerick McKinnon scores his first NFL TD in this game, and Teddy finds Patterson and Jarius Wright for scores.

Yeah, I don't understand why they're bringing him back this week either.  I mean, if he really is 100% I guess it doesn't matter, but McCoy has been playing well and the bye week gives him another week of healing.  Not to mention we have the Bucs after the BYE, so that gives him a cupcake to build his confidence before the final stretch of the season.
 
Looking forward to seeing Kerrigan put ol' Teddy Throwsevelt on his back a few times, though.

I have a feeling that Kerrigan and Griffin land 3 sack games, apiece.

Whoever plays left end has a better shot.  I can't see anyone beating Trent that often.

I think Zimmer will move Griffin to RE on sure passing downs. Brian Robison can't get to the QB this year. Might as well let him deal with Williams.
