As a feature of this blog, every week I will give the Redskins Fan guide to who to root for (or against) as it relates to the Redskins. I will do each game, unless it is AFC vs. AFC as it will have no direct impact on Washington's chances of getting into the playoffs. Now, if things turn for the worse towards the end of the season (as things have done recently), I will let you know who to root for so the team can get a better draft position. Hopefully that won't happen, and here's to not being negative this season! HTTR!
Green Bay Packers vs. New Orleans Saints: I will go out on a limb and say that these are the two best teams in the NFC this year, so either team losing is fine by me, but I don't believe either of these teams will be in the Wildcard race at season's end. So based on them having the tougher division, I'll pull for the Packers to win this one.
Atlanta Falcons vs. Chicago Bears: This is the game that is basically for second place in their given divisions. I see both of these teams being strong competition for Wildcard spots. I believe that the Bears are in the tougher division, so in this case I want them to lose right away and hope they'll continue to beat up the rest of the NFC North. So I'm going for the Falcons.
Philadelphia Eagles vs. St. Louis Rams: This one is an obvious one as Redskins fans will always need to cheer against NFC East teams when they're playing outside the division. Go Rams!
Detroit Lions vs. Tampa Bay Bucs: Here we arrive at the battle for 3rd place in their divisions. I'll again be pulling for the NFC South team because I believe they won't be able to win as many games outside of their division. The Lions are a sleeper team so they could be in the Wildcard race, and I don't want that. Pull for the Bucs in this one.
Minnesota Vikings vs. San Diego Chargers: Obvious, pull for the AFC team. Chargers to win.
Carolina Panthers vs. Arizona Cardinals: Pull for whichever team you want. I'll be pulling for the Panthers because they're in my home state, and I also believe both teams will be terribad this year.
Seattle Seahawks vs. San Francisco 49ers: Both teams have potential to be record breaking horrible, but I see San Fran being the worse of the two based on their QB situation, thus I will be pulling for them. 49ers.
Dallas Cowpukes vs. New York Jets: DALLAS SUCKS! That cover it?
Now everyone go and enjoy the opening weekend of the 2011 NFL Season! I'll see you out there! Hail to the Redskins!
