As today's game between the Redskins and Giants begins, here are some keys to the game brought to you by Q, Big Money Tony, & The Sports Freak.

• Win the line of scrimmage despite injuries along the front line. Pounding the ball successfully and not giving upon on the running game in the rain soaked field conditions. Trap block and running up the middle as cut back lanes will become difficult will be important no matter which running back runs the ball i.e. Portis, Betts, or Cartwright.
• Do not allow the running game of the Giants to dictate the flow of the game. The defense needs to wrap up while tackling.
• Stop the big play. One big play could make the difference in game with such poor weather conditions which could lead to point differential too large to overcome.
• Special teams could play a large role in determining field position to create a shorter field on offense to pinning the Giants back in their own end.
