just an opinion but I think if anything Rams winning at Washington is a big motivating factor for the skins.. I would be shocked to see them allow it for a second season in a row. Also in an extremely tight division they really cannot afford to start the season 0-2. I think they could lay the wood to the Rams in this spot
Food for thought. Skins have Haynesworth now. I know he did not do much against the giants( only having 4 tackles), but If you watched the Giants vs Skin game you can see that they have to double team him if not triple just to keep him from causing some sacks and maybe even turnovers. The St. Louis O line is in no way as powerful as the Giants and I would expect him to get few a couple times. Marc Bulger will have more pressure and be making mistakes.
Danger danger.
Buffalo may well be the last home team I would pick on this week's schedule. They spent all of training camp and the preseason preparing for week 1 @ NE, and it was going as planned until the dramatic, painful, nationally-televised end. They're gonna have a hard time focusing for this week's game, whose perceived stakes are much lower.
It's a tough week for sure. The only viable options are Minnesota, Green Bay and Washington. I can't stand the idea of picking a road divisional game, so Minny is out.
If you pick GB this week, you can pick WAS in Week 6, and vice versa. I'm going with my Skins this weekend though, and will probably jump off a bridge if they lose.

I think Washington will be more prepared this year than last years upset loss to the Rams.
while Washington runs a conservative offense, they have improved the Defense and I think they will be able to win at home.
My second option would be the Titans. Houston is a divisonal rival but I don't think Jeff Fisher will find his team in a letdown spot. Tennesee has a great defense and and collins is a good Q.B if he is not rushed. Houston hard a hard time pressuring Sancez .
the fact that this line dropped half a point from 7 to 6.5 is odd but really with the time fisher and Titans have had since the Pittsburgh loss and the fact they could be facing an 0-2 start if they loss..... I can't see them not winning regdless of ATS outcome.

There are better choices in Green Bay, Minny and Tenny, why you guys have to consider Washington?
Spag is a defensive specialist, i could O.J. Otogwe (sp?) picks off Jason Campbell a couple of times in this game. The issue with the Redskins is not so much the talent, it's the coaching. Zorn is too conservative or maybe he wants to open the playbook but he doesn't trust Campbell.
While I agree that This Washington offense is not to be trusted in regards to an aerial attack, they still have a good O-Line and a good rushing attack.
Yes the rams beat washington last year in this spot, but really could it happen again ? Washington is in its home opener and faced a tough divisional foe last week. Rams on the road on grass , they made seattle look like a Great team. I would still feel better taking washington than taking a road favorite who is playing a divisonal rival. ( Minny against Detroit)
I like the Titans as my first choice but do not want to put all my picks on them.
G.Bay is the third option for me.
This is the NFL and nothing is a gimme.

I picked Buffalo in my survior pool - week 2 if I loose no big deal it's only $100 but if they win nice to have some good teams left over.
I am in a loser pool worth 5K that is more fun, same premise as a survivor pool - Each week you pick on team to lose and cant pick the same team twice.
Took the titans in week one thinking houston this week.
