Redskins vs. Rams: TV Schedule, Live Streaming, Radio, Game Time and More

Michael DixonSep 27, 2011

Week 4 gives us an NFC showdown between two teams that are not where people expected them to be. The Washington Redskins will travel west to take on the St. Louis Rams.

The Rams were the popular picks to win the NFC West, but sit at 0-3 and are the only NFC West team to not record a win.

The Redskins are one of three 2-1 NFC East teams. They are coming off of their first loss of the season. In that game, the Redskins didn't allow a single touchdown to the Dallas offense and led for most of the game.

Over/Under

According to footballlocks.com, the over/under is 43.5. If you really think about it, that's not a very high scoring game.

But the Redskins are certainly not a high scoring team. They are very good at blitzing, and the Rams' offense has had issues this year.

I like the winner of this game to score in the low 20's. Go with the under here.

Spread

As of right now, this is a pick 'em. The Redskins are coming off of a tough loss, but have been far more impressive than the Rams this year.

Sure, the Rams are at home and will be desperate. But without points, they can't be depended on until they show that they can win.

Go with the Redskins here.

Key Injuries

Redskins' WR Anthony Armstrong (hamstring) is questionable after leaving Monday night's game.

Rams' RB Steven Jackson (quadriceps), Cadillac Williams (Hamstring) and QB Sam Bradford (toe) are all probable.

Rams' TE Michael Hoomanawanui (back) is questionable.

Rams' WR Danny Amendola (elbow) is out.

Fantasy Big Plays

Keep an eye on Steven Jackson. If he plays, he'll be heavily used.

The Washington defense has been very impressive in the first three games. St. Louis may win, but they won't score a lot of points in doing so.

Redskins' TE Chris Cooley returned to action on Monday and was featured heavily. Don't be surprised to see more of him.

Keys to Redskins' Win

First of all, they can't turn the ball over. Secondly, they need to convert more in the red zone. Their ability to score touchdowns on Monday was pathetic.

If that doesn't change, the 2-0 start will quickly go south.

Keys to Rams' Win

Steven Jackson needs to be in the game in a big way. Washington's defense will contain St. Louis, which is fine.

But St. Louis needs to win the field position battle. The Redskins' chances aren't great if Rex Grossman and the Redskins offense has to consistently drive the length of the field.

Prediction

Again, the Rams have just been flat. The fake injury strategy that the Giants used on them really seemed to throw them off.

I like Sam Bradford, but he'll have a hard time against Brian Orakpo.

Redskins 20, Rams 13
