The last time these teams met dates back to the NFL Predictions Week six of last season. On that day, (K) Josh brown's 49-yard field goal made the difference in the game as St. Louis defeated Washington by a score of 19-17. The OVER/UNDER for this, St. Louis Rams vs. Washington Redskins NFL Predictions Week 2 matchup has been officially set at a combined total of 37 points scored.

In this year’s season opener, both squads got off to a rough start. The Rams were blanked out by the Seattle Seahawks (17-0), in a game that exposed serious weaknesses, both on offense and defense. This NFL Predictions Week 2, St. Louis will be shorthanded with (S) Craig Dahl and (T) John Greco both pacing the sidelines.

However going into this game for the Rams, coach Steve Spagnuolo can hang his hat on the fact that he has a great deal of experience against the Redskins and their system. Spagnuolo was of course the New York Giants’ defensive coordinator from 2007-08. Despite being listed as the sports betting odds underdogs, this could give the Rams a bit of an upper hand, as you can be sure Spagnuolo will have a great defensive strategy in mind.

As for the Redskins, last week’s game also a left a sour taste in their mouth as they lost to the Giants, 23-17.  They fell behind early in the game and could not find a way to come back. Listed as probable for the Redskins are: (LB) Robert Henson (knee), (T) Chris Samuels (knee) and (CB) Fred Smoot (rib). Anthony Montgomery (DT) is listed as questionable this week as he did not participate in practice due to a knee injury.

The Redskins will undoubtedly keep their hopes on Albert Haynesworth and the rest of the defensive line to bring down Rams quarterback Marc Bulger on Sunday and force him into making mistakes. Washington's pass-rush didn't have much luck last week against QB Eli Manning, as New York protected him well, keeping him clean and on his feet.
