The NFL world at large got a shot of adrenaline on Thursday night when all 32 teams had their schedules released to the public for the upcoming 2020 season. We’ve known which teams were on the docket for some time now, but they’ve since fallen into place, painting a picture of what the next season will look like.
For the Washington Redskins, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. There are a handful of games that are very winnable, a few that could go either way, and a stretch of three road games late in the season that could end up causing the wheels to fall off. At Redskins Wire, we made our predictions for how everything will shake out as soon as the schedule was released, guessing that the Redskins will finish next season at 5-11, out of the playoffs once again. But what will be interesting to see is how the outside world views Washington’s chances in 2020.
ESPN’s John Keim took a crack at the prediction game, and he gave Washington more credit than we did, saying they will go 6-10. The only two differences were that Keim called for a season sweep over the New York Giants, as well as a road win over the Pittsburg Steelers. We also predicted that Washington could beat the Detroit Lions, which Keim did not.
No matter who you ask, many people are pegging the Redskins to win somewhere between four and six games, with the odd outliers here and there. Whatever happens, though, we can just hope that it’s better than another 3-13 season.
