> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by CLedet \* > \*\*The Rams better hope for a wild card. We have a new attitude down here and we are on our way to the promised land! GO SAINTS! \*\* Normally I would argue with this, but with the way our defense and special teams have been playing, I doubt the return of Kurt Warner next week will do much to turn things around. Considering how well the Saints played yesterday and how poorly the Rams have been the past couple games, a wild card berth seems like our best shot. ---

So now it’s the fault of what teams we play? Truly pathetic arguement. I have to commend you for wasting so much time reaserching facts to support your delusion, however. And yes, the 'Skins beat us-6 weeks ago. I seriously doubt they’d do it today, but I’ll throw the question out to everyone else- Ravens and 'Skins fans ineligable. Were the Ravens to play the Redskins TODAY, which team would win? ---

Hmmm, well Stephen Davis, Brad Johnson, and Alber Connell are all hurt, so I’d go with the Ravens. If they’re healthy, I’d go with the home team. And no, you can’t blame them for not having tough teams on their schedule, but the fact that they’re .250 in games against teams with a winning record doesn’t impress me. I don’t see either of these teams making it to the Superbowl. At best, they’ll each win one playoff game and get knocked out. ---

Crunchy, the next 3 games for the Rams are murder. We have a cake walk (Frisco & the Dirty Birds) for 2 of our next 3. Then we finish the season with the Rams. Could be a game for the division title. Good luck, I’d like to see that. GO SAINTS! ---

If they’re healthy, I’d go with the home team.** Since this is **Gazoo** ’s pick in this hypothetical game we’re talking about, I’m hoping he’s picking the Redskins. 😛 (BTW, Go Skins this weekend against the NJ Giants!) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by weirddave \* > \*\*Were the Ravens to play the Redskins TODAY, which team would win? \*\* It’s hard to say who would come out on top. It would be pretty brutal though, since they’d be playing on one day’s rest. 😃 > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Montfort \* > (BTW, Go Skins this weekend against the NJ Giants!)

Machiavelli would be proud. \*\* Actually, it’s just playoff positioning. An asteroid could drop on FedEx Field this Sunday and I wouldn’t be happier (well, except for the fact that I live about 10 miles from the stadium…). The Eagles are a game and a half up on the Redskins, and they split their season series, but have only a half-game edge on the NJ Giants, who swept the Eagles this year. So, a Redskins win would help the Eagles, especially as they’re playing a very pissed off Tennessee team. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-predictions-week-13/42392.md?page=2)
