4* Washington Redskins

New England vs. Washington, 12/11/2011 13:00 EDT, Score: 34 - 27

Point Spread: +9½/-125 Washington

Sportsbook: 5Dimes

Result: Win

Taking the REDSKINS here. Liking the home dog here. Let's just call last weeks game vs the Jets an absolute fluke. Jets put up 21pts in the 4th. The final 5 minutes actually. Enough with that tough loss. I really don't expect a hangover here. Washington and HC Shanahan really need win some games. This team hasn't quit. NE had to fend off a late Colts rally. Pats secondary is going to give up some points here. Washington will be on Brady all day. They do have some guys that can pressure the QB. On the offensive side of the ball, Grossman won't confuse anyone that he is Top Brady. Still, Rex has a nice target in Santonio Holmes who will score 2TDs vs this secondary. RB Roy Helu is performing well and should help open things up for Rex to get the ball downfield. 4* WASHINGTON REDSKINS
