The new season is about to begin and the Redskins are facing a tough sixteen game schedule. In the final offseason edition of BBQ for 2012, we will make a game by game prediction. BBQ would love to see a 16-0 record, but let’s see if we can make some accurate forecasts.
September 9 – Redskins at Saints
Facing Drew Brees in his house is never easy, but the Redskins have had some degrees of success in the Bayou.
Saints 38 Redskins 27.
September 16 – Redskins at Rams
The two teams with the blockbuster trade that brought Robert Griffin, III to the Redskins will face off. The Redskins secure their first win of the season.

September 30 – Redskins at Buccaneers
The Redskins face a determined, but young Bucs team and pull away in the second half.

The visitors from the North make a pilgrimage to FedEx and lose a shootout to the home team.

RG3 learns that some teams are very tough on defense and that losing streak can happen in the NFL.
