Green Bay Packers: 5 reasons they’ll beat the Redskins in Week 3

The Green Bay Packers have their first road game against the Washington Redskins on Sunday. Here are 5 reasons why they’ll walk away victorious.

The Green Bay Packers are just one of four undefeated teams remaining in the NFC. At 1-0-1, they are tied with the Minnesota Vikings and just behind the Los Angeles Rams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who are both 2-0. Even with everything that’s transpired through the first two weeks, the Packers have a good chance to improve to 2-0-1 against Washington.

As it stands right now, the Packers are about three-point favorites for the noon game at FedEx Field. However, ESPN’s Matchup Predictor only gives the Packers a 48 percent chance to leave with a victory.

Regardless, the Packers clearly look like the better team heading into Week 3. Washington looked good against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1, but the Cardinals are looking like the new Cleveland Browns of the NFL. Washington followed that performance up with a dud at home against the Indianapolis Colts, giving us a more realistic look at what type of team they’ll be this season.

The Packers should get a couple of key players back from suspension and injuries this week which will do nothing but help their chances of a victory. Without further ado, let’s take a look at five reasons why Green Bay will leave the capital with their second win of the season.
