The Redskins won a national TV game last week against Dallas despite producing a grand total of two field goals on offense for the entire game. This is nothing new if you’ve watched Mike Shanahan’s squad throughout the preseason. Their offensive line has been banged up since August; shuffling players in and out of the lineup. Donovan McNabb spent most of the month on the bench, nursing his hamstring, and he’s been limited in practice this week with a sore ankle. That’s not a recipe for success as he learns a new offense and tries to develop some chemistry with his limited receiving corps.

While the Redskins offense is likely to sputter once again this week, Houston’s offense is primed to score points in bunches once again. The Texans attack is truly balanced, capable of grinding out yards on the ground like they did last week against Indy. Or, if Arian Foster doesn’t find room to run, Matt Schaub is quite capable of creating points in a hurry by firing downfield. Gary Kubiak’s squad won five times in eight tries on the road last year, including wins against solid squads like the Titans, Bengals and Dolphins. Expect another comfortable road victory against an inferior foe on Sunday. 2* Take Houston.
