Three reasons to back Tennessee
1. The Titans won last week and nearly won the week before, blowing a 28-3 lead against Cleveland. They’ve been playing winning football or near-winning football, while the Redskins have lost 4 straight games overall and 3 straight by double-digits.
2. Tennessee has a ball-hawking secondary that is tied for 5th in the NFL with 7 interceptions this season. That’s bad news for Washington’s Kirk Cousins, who has been intercepted a league-high 8 times despite only starting 4 games.
3. The Redskins have an atrocious defense that ranks 27th in points allowed and is surrendering a staggering 34.7 points per game over the last four weeks. The Tennessee offense has steadily improved this season and they may get their starting quarterback, Jake Locker, back from a hand injury this week.
Three reasons to back Washington
1. Bad luck has contributed to Washington’s performance issues on both sides of the ball this season; a close examination reveals a team that is much better than their 1-5 record would indicate. After all, the Skins rank in the top-10 in both total offense and total defense despite playing most of the season with their backup quarterback. They move the ball, they’re tough to move it against… this is a team that could make a run over the second half of the season.
2. The Titans have one of the NFL’s worst offenses, a unit that is producing just 17.3 points per game. Making matters worse, they’re looking at another game with a backup quarterback, a backup running back, and a rookie left tackle.
3. Tennessee is one of the league’s worst road teams, covering just once in their last 6 opportunities. They’re also a team that plays poorly against other bad teams, as they’ve failed to cover a single time in their last 6 games against teams with losing records. There’s just not much to like about the Titans in this situation.
