The Washington Redskins are off a miserable 4-12 season last year and I'm not really sure the prospects are there for them to turn it around anytime soon. Vegas isn't expecting a whole lot from this team as their Win Total has been set at 6.5, with juice to the under (-150). Vegas odds have the Skins at +1500 to win the NFC East, +6000 to win the NFC Title and +12500 to win Super Bowl 50. A season preview of Washington along with their 2015 Schedule are below.

Last year the Redskins offense ranked 26th in scoring, at 18.8 ppg, while also ranking 13th in total yards (358.6 ypg), 11th in passing (252.9 ypg) and 19th in rushing (105.7 ypg). Last year the skins did put up some yards, but they just couldn't get in the Endzone. This year they are hoping for better QB play, especially with the addition of QB Coach Matt Cavanaugh. RG3 has been very inconsistent he last two years and should he be that way again this year then you could see Colt McCoy or Kirk Cousins get some time. Both played last year and had some bright spots, so they could be brought in to jump start this offense. Alfred Morris have has 3 years of 1000+ yards rushing in a row and he looks to have another solid season, but he will also split time with 3rd round pick Matt Jones, who may be a better receiver out of the backfield. At WR the Skins have one of the best deep threats in the league in DeSean Jackson. He will team with Pierre Garcon and 4th round selection Jamison Crowder to make this an overall solid set of wide receivers. Trent Williams is one of the top tackles in the league last year, but he also was beat up a bit. The skins OL overall was very average last year and they looked to change that by taking Brandon Scherff with the 5th overall pick in the draft and then they added Arie Kouandjio in the fourth round. Scherff should make an immediate impact, but still this and overall average OL.     

Defensively Washington ranked 30th in points allowed (27.4 ppg), 20th in yards allowed (357.0 ypg), 24th vs the pass (249.4 ypg) and 12th vs the run (107.6 ypg). Defense is where this team had many problems last year and they look to rectify this situation by taking defensive players with 4 of their first 8 draft picks and then in free agency they brought in 7 new faces. They did lose Brian Orakpo in the offseason, but they still have Ryan Kerrigan, who had 13.5 sacks last year and Keenan Robinson, who led the team in tackles last year. Even without Orakpo this is still a better than average LB corps. The DL will be totally revamped with Free Agent acquisitions Terrance Knighton, Stephen Paea and Ricky Jean-Francois, plus 2nd round pick Preston Smith, who is a DE by trade, but may also spend some time at LB. The secondary had some big issues last year, but much like the LB corps this unit has been revamped. DBs Chris Culliver, Dashon Goldson and Jeron Johnson were signed in free agency and all should step in and help right away, while second year pro Bashaud Breeland remains and did have a decent year last year. Still this is a very average secondary.

The pressure may be on Jay Gruden to turn this ship around, but it will not be that easy this year, especially with the mess they have at QB. RG3 will be their man, but ever since his injury he has been very inconsistent and there is a chance that he may never regain the form he had in his rookie season. Colt McCoy and Kirk Cousins are not the long term answers, so if RG3 doesn't turn it around then this team will be in deep trouble. The WR and RB corps are solid, but the OL is about average, which could hinder the growth of this offense. The front wall of the defense and the secondary have been completely revamped and while there is talent there they will take some time to gel. The LB corps looks to be a very steady group. Overall the defense has better talent, but most of them are new and there isn't much depth behind these guys, which could be a concern late in the year. The Skins are a better team than last year, but are still a year or two away from contending for a playoff spot. 6 Wins at most by this team this year.

Washington Redskins: 2015 NFL Free Picks & Betting Odds
With five bad seasons out of the last six, pro bettors Teddy Covers and Steve Fezzik are thinking it is pretty likely another rough year is on the horizon. The one winning season was an aberration, which helps to life this NFC team’s projected win total sit a little higher than it should, opening up an opportunity for bettors. As the guys point out, Robert Griffin III is past his athletic prime and he never really shaped up to be the player Washington expected, so you can expect for of the same from the team in 2015.
