NFL Week 5 Preview, Prediction: Green Bay Packers Vs. Washington Redskins

Green Bay Packers (3-1) vs. Washington Redskins (2-2)

Breakdown: Clearly the Packers strength is passing the ball. They lost Ryan Grant for the year and haven't focused on the run game much since then (or before then, really). The Redskins meanwhile don't defend the pass very well. I think that means Ryan Torain will see more time as the Redskins try to slow things down a little bit. It wouldn't be advantageous for them to get into a shootout with the Packers.

Player to Watch: Ryan Torain. I think he's the key to the game. If Torain can do what Mike Shanahan running backs normally do, then the Redskins have a shot in this game. They just need to avoid Aaron Rodgers going wild in the passing game.

Line: Packers are three point favorites.

Prediction: Vegas clearly doesn't believe in the 'Skins at three point home underdogs but they beat teams like the Cowboys and Eagles (and then lose to the Rams) so I'm going with Redskins with my upset of the week.
