Washington Redskins 2015 Gambling Odds & Handicapping Preview

2015 Washington Redskins Predictions

Well, where do we start with the Washington Redskins? I can’t imagine the Redskins competing for the NFC East title. Washington has had a busy off-season and they made out well. The team will be much tougher in the trenches on both sides of the football in 2015, but will that be enough to catapult the Redskins into contention?

NFL Futures

Washington Redskins
2014 Record: 12-4
2014 Record: 4-12
ATS: 5-11
Redskins Odds to Win the NFC East Division: +1000
Redskins Odds to Win the NFC Conference: +6600
Redskins Odds to Win the 2016 Super Bowl: +10000

This team won just four games in 2014 and only three games in 2013.

This team is in rebuild mode and it’s difficult to expect much out of them this season.

Robert Griffin III will get a shot to lead the Redskins again in 2015, but he isn’t the long term answer at QB. I like the fact they drafted Brandon Scherff to beef up the o-line, but the rest of the additions were made on defense.

Washington has to be strong on o-line in 2015, as they need to give RGIII time. Plus, Alfred Morris should be fed the rock a lot in 2015 and they need to be able to run block, as RGIII has proven he can’t manage 3rd and distance very well.

Roy Helu is the only major loss on offense, but that just means Morris should get more carries, which I like.

The defense lost Brian Orakpo, Ryan Clark, Stephen Bowen and Barry Cofield. However, the Redskins were able to add a lot of defensive pieces, including Terrance Knighton, Stephen Paea and Ricky Jean-Francois on the d-line.

I expect the Redskins defense to be much better than the past two years.

The secondary has seen Dashon Goldson, Chris Culliver and Jeron Johnson added to it during the off-season as well. This isn’t going to be a top five defense, but the Redskins will now be much more respectable on that side of the football.

Redskins Betting Outlook

This season comes down to RGIII and that means there’s tons of risk with the Redskins.

DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon and Jordan Reed are all capable receivers and excel at different things. Jackson will be running the deep routes, Garcon is a possession receiver and Reed can find space up the middle if he’s healthy.

There’s no lack of weapons in Washington, but the NFC East is going to be tough this season.

The Redskins are going to struggle in division games again this season. Division games are never taken lightly, so it’s not like the Redskins will fly under the radar in their games against the Eagles, Cowboys and Giants.

Washington actually has one of the easiest schedules in the NFL this season, although this team isn’t talented enough to take advantage of that fact. This is going to be a long rebuild, but the Redskins are heading in the right direction.

I believe the Redskins will win more than four games, but they won’t reach .500 this season.

Washington will end up in last place in the NFC East and I have no interest betting them in any futures. They have a win total of 6 games in the regular season and that’s going to be where they end up.

The future is looking up with Scot McCloughan, but unless RGIII starts playing like he did as a rookie, the Redskins are still a couple years away from competing in the division and conference.
