Packers Wire staff predictions: Week 14 vs. Redskins

Staff predictions for the Packers’ Week 14 visit from the Washington Redskins.

The Green Bay Packers have a chance to get to double-digit wins for the first time since the 2016 season when the three-win Washington Redskins arrive at Lambeau Field on Sunday.

Here’s how the staff at Packers Wire believes the Week 14 matchup will go down:

Zach Kruse (9-3): Packers 24, Redskins 13

If they contain the run and avoid big mistakes, the Packers should win comfortably. The guess here is that the offense won’t be dominant against a good Washington front, but the Packers defense will get stops and takeaways and control the game.

Jack Wepfer (9-3): Packers 31, Redskins 13

Packers turn in the type of performance necessary to build momentum going into late December. Washington struggles in the red zone on both offense and defense. That just happens to be where the Packers are best. As a result, the Packers take control early and – to quote Mike McCarthy – stack success en route to 10-3.

Marty Kauffman (7-5): Packers 31, Redskins 14

The Packers are currently benefiting with the schedule right now before the final three division games but they know they still can’t take opponents lightly and they won’t on Sunday. With strong leadership and momentum the Packers roll on Sunday with a balanced offensive attack of Aaron Rodgers through the air and Aaron Jones on the ground, while the defense continues to thrive via quarterback pressures and turnovers.

Anthony Nash (8-4): Packers 28, Redskins 16

The Packers “get right” game against the Giants wasn’t exactly the perfect performance that the team was anticipating, but they’ll get another chance against Washington on Sunday. Back in Lambeau, the Packers should once again try and kickstart their offense through Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams, and the defense can once again take advantage of a rookie quarterback who might be prone to mistakes. Much like last week, Green Bay should come away as the winner here.

Nolan Stracke (7-5): Packers 38, Redskins 17

Washington comes into this game with a little momentum behind them after running all over the slumping Carolina Panthers last week. Call it lucky. Aside from their run game and rookie sensation Terry McLaurin, this offense is horrible. Last place in yards and points forced kind of horrible. It’d take an epic implosion for the Packers to lose at Lambeau this week and I don’t see that happening. Dwayne Haskins is the second rookie quarterback in a row going up against a Packers defense that feasted on Daniel Jones mistakes last week. Not much tips in Washington’s favor here.

Joe Kipp (8-4):  Packers 34, Redskins 14

The Packers have been bleeding yards on defense this season, allowing a whopping 376.8 yards per game (28th). The secret to Green Bay’s defensive success has been their ability to create takeaways. The Packers currently have a turnover differential of +11 (second-best), and will face a rookie quarterback who’s shown to be turnover prone. Washington quarterback Dwayne Haskins has already thrown six interceptions and fumbled three times in just four starts, which bodes well for an opportunistic Packers defense. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Green Bay force three takeaways en route to a comfortable double-digit victory.
