The Review-Journal’s Matt Youmans, Las Vegas handicapper Ken Thomson and Golden Nugget sports book director Tony Miller preview the Redskins’ season in the sixth of a series of 32 NFL team videos:

Washington won its final four games to finish 9-7 and win the NFC East. Oddsmakers are doubting the Redskins will repeat.
Kirk Cousins passed for 29 touchdowns and had the highest completion percentage (69.8) in the league last year, but he still has something to prove.
By signing free-agent cornerback Josh Norman away from Carolina, the Redskins upgraded their defense.
Are the Redskins live home underdogs getting 3 points in their Sept. 12 opener against Pittsburgh?
Over or Under 7 regular-season wins?
