Cheap tickets for this game
The Redskins will host the New Orleans Saints on December 6th of this year. The Saints were an 8-8 team last year, and it looks like their headed down the same path to mediocrity this season. They have Drew Brees leading their offfense, and he’s one of the most underrated quarterbacks in football, but they also have a lot of holes in their offense and defense. The Saints are not strong enough to win on Drew Brees’ arm, because they just give up too many points. I think this matchup favors the Redskins well, as their defense will hold Brees at bay while the Redskins offense exploits the Saints weaknesses.
Cheap tickets for the game against the Broncos for sale
The Denver Broncos will make a visit to FedEx Field on November 15 for a non conference game against the Redskins. I think the Redskins really lucked out with their non conference schedule, as the Broncos should not be contenders this season and will probably struggle to make it to 6 wins. Their offense looks offensive and they’ve got players who don’t want to play for them. I think it’s games like this that will help make the Redskins playoff contenders in the NFC, even if they have to sneak under the radar of the so-called experts. Tickets for this game are going for under $30 if you know where to look (hint: look up).
Fred Smoot is questionable for tomorrow’s game against the Rams with a rib injury. The Redskins won’t say how the injury occurred, which means I can only assume it was locker room horseplay. I’m sure most of you don’t play fantasy football with individual defensive players, but for those who do you might want to sub Smoot this week.

The Redskins will host one of their biggest games of the season when the Philadelphia Eagles come to town on October 26. This game is a Monday Night Football game, and it will be nationally televised. The Eagles were one of the favorites to win the NFC crown this season, and their signing of Michael “Ron Mexico” Vick has nothing to do with it. In fact, they’ll probably hardly ever play Vick and they just want him as draft pick bait for the end of the year. Donovan McNabb is their quarterback, and he’s a darn good one. We need to stop McNabb if we want to have a chance at winning the division this season. Tickets for this game are reselling at a brisk pace, but you can still find some for under $35.
Giants kick a field goal on their opening drive. Redskins down 3-0.
Clinton Portis runs for a huge gain on his first rushing attempt of the season. Looks to be about 40 yards. Fantasy owners everywhere pat themselves on the back.
Randle El takes a handoff and then looks to pass. He’s tackled in the backfield for a big loss. 2nd down and very long.
Skins fail to convert on 3rd down. The Randle El play took us out of field goal range.
Punt is nearly perfect, but the coverage team fails to prevent it from bouncing in the end zone. Touchback.
Still time to buy tickets for this game
The Redskins will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on October 4 at FedEx Field. The Bucs were a 9-7 team a year ago, but many experts are expecting a huge fall for this team as their offense seems much weaker than last season. They fired their offensive coordinator a week before the start of the season, never a good sign. They also have a new coach who is more of a defensive coach than offensive. Expect low scoring games against these Bucs, but also expect to see them at the losing end. Redskins win this game by 10 points. Tickets are going for under $40.

The Redskins first home game of the season is quickly approaching. They’ll host the St Louis Rams in week 2 on September 20. The Rams should be one of the worst teams in the NFC this season, probably just ahead of the Detroit Lions. The Redskins, on the other hand, will probably contend for the very competitive NFC East title. We need to win these games that we’re supposed to win if we want to beat out the Giants and the Eagles to the division crown. Tickets for this game are selling quite well on the secondary market, but you can still find tickets for under $30 apiece if you don’t mind sitting far from the action.
