Tennessee Titans Betting Preview

Tennessee has had a rough season so far, starting out on a 1-6 run with losses to the Bears, Jets, Packers, Colts, Bills and Lions. Since then the Titans are 2-2 with wins over the Patriots and Texans around losses to the Chargers and Vikings.

In Sunday’s matchup with the Texans, the Titans jumped out to a 20-17 halftime edge but were down going into the fourth. Tennessee closed on a 9-3 run and took the win 32-27, though. QB Will Levis threw for 278 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. Tony Pollard added 24 carries for a team-high 119 yards and one TD.

Washington Commanders Betting Preview

Over on the Commanders’ side, they won six of their first eight games over the Giants, Bengals, Cardinals, Browns, Panthers and Bears. Washington beat the Giants on November 3 but they’ve since fallen to the Steelers, Eagles, and Cowboys in succession.

Matched up against Dallas last weekend, the Commanders were within one point going into the final quarter. Washington gave up 24 points in that last frame for a 34-26 loss, though. Jayden Daniels logged 275 pass yards with two scores and two interceptions. Terry McLaurin caught five balls for 102 yards and a touchdown.

Tennessee Titans vs Washington Commanders Prediction

I’ll stay with the Commanders. Probably not touching this one, though. Washington came within a missed extra point of forcing overtime versus the rival Cowboys on Sunday, but there are plenty of other reasons for the loss. The Commanders had three turnovers, eight penalties, and a rough 4-of-12 success rate on third downs. The final onside kick was returned for a Dallas touchdown. Washington is on a three-game losing streak now, but each defeat has come by eight points or fewer.

As for Tennessee, they had three turnovers and a measly 4-of-14 on third downs in their win over Houston. The Titans’ defense saved them however, holding the Texans to just 260 total yards (220 passing) and 12 first downs alongside two takeaways. The 11 Houston penalties didn’t hurt, either. It was a nice offensive outburst for the Titans after six straight games with 20 points or fewer. Provided the Commanders can get over their loss last weekend and focus, however, I don’t think Tennessee will repeat the scoring onslaught here.
