NFL Week 8 Predictions: Which Offenses Will Struggle To Score Points?

One of the most frustrating aspects of football can be when your offense struggles to score no matter how well the defense plays.

It can literally be the one confidence-killer that ruins a team's season, so with that, here are three offenses who will struggle in Week 8.

Washington Redskins (vs. Buffalo)

It doesn't matter who's under center for the Redskins because their offense, even when healthy, struggled to put up points. The defense doesn't matter either.

In Week 4 the Redskins only managed 17 points against the Rams, and only twice has their offense legitimately scored 20-plus points (Arizona, Philadelphia) because they got a pick six in Week 1.

Also, Buffalo's defense is excellent at forcing turnovers, so don't expect anything from Washington this week, and quite possibly the rest of 2011 as well.

Philadelphia Eagles (vs. Dallas)

If you want the Eagles to score points this week, well, you're not in any kind of luck. When playing at Washington in Week 6, the Eagles defense forced four turnovers, but Mike Vick and company could only muster up 20 points.

Additionally, they turned the ball over two times and only won 20-13. This week, the Dallas Cowboys come to The City of Brotherly Love, however, Big D has a much better defense than Washington.

For starters, Dallas has the No. 1 rush defense to go with a solid pass rush. Vick is going to be under pressure all night, and coach Andy Reid's only chance is to run the ball, as that is their strength.

Nonetheless, Philly won't be putting up a large amount of points or stats, as it has yet to get in sync with one another.

Miami Dolphins (at New York Giants)

The Dolphins are going to struggle scoring points regardless of whom they play. Even with Chad Henne throwing for over 400 yards against New England in Week 1, they could only compile 24 points at home.

Their Week 8 matchup takes them into The Big Apple to play the Giants, and although New York still needs to buff out its defense, Miami has no shot of being effective as it is lacking a lot of confidence right now.

And until that gets fixed, the Dolphins aren't going to be producing anything other than additional losses to their record.
