The Washington Football Team is taking on the New England Patriots in Week 1 of the NFL preseason and I am on the over in this one. The HOF game was a bit of a snore but i think this game is set up much better to see a lot more scoring in. This game will be a chance for Taylor Heinicke to showcase his talent and prove that he deserves a chance at being an NFL starter. Whether or not he can, there is definitely motivation there for him to want to put a lot of points up in this game. Washington has picked up a lot of pieces this offseason and this is the first real opportunity to see how it will all mesh. Ron Rivera has already expressed that he expects his players to work hard at everythiing this year, this game included. I expect the Football Team to go out there and try to get the win which means they will be trying to score lots of points as the young players will want to use this chance to try to make a name for themselves. New England will be having their rookie Mac Jones play in this one and he too will want to prove in this game why he can overtake Cam Newton as the starter for the Patriots. He has been looking great at training camp and has a real good chance to win this job which means he will also be out there playing to win. With both of these teams treating this more like a real game and less like a meaningless preseason game, the over makes total sense. I think there should be plenty of scoring from both sides here so I am on the over.

T.M Prediction: 27-20 Football Team.
