An interesting one this, in terms of the quarterbacks. Peyton Manning was suddenly human last week and the ball was coming out with less zip than we'd seen earlier in the season, whereas RGIII looked as though he was finally running into last season's form.
The problem for Washington is that they have a horrible defense, so they're going to give up chunks of yardage and points, especially with Reed Doughty and Brandon Meriweather missing with injury and suspension and Knowshon Moreno smashing it up the middle for Denver against a porous run D.
The question is, can Washington get within 11 points?
I have a feeling they can. Jordan Reed is developing nicely and Garcon is a legitimate threat. While Denver are brutal against the run (don't rule out the Morris/Helu combo, though, especially Helu close in) the Broncos are dead last in ypg in the NFL against the pass and with Champ Bailey sidelined, Shanahan and Griffin should be able to read option and pistol their way into the endzone.
There should be points.
Pick: Washington Redskins +11 @ 1.95
Pick: Over 57.5 @ 1.91
Pick: 1st TD Knowshon Moreno @ 9
Pick: Anytime TD Roy Helu @ 3.25; Jordan Reed @ 3.4
