Meanwhile, the Commanders are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine on grass and 0-4 ATS in their last four in Week 5. Washington is 0-5 ATS in their last five in October.
PICK: I’m probably staying with the Titans. Tennessee wasn’t great against the struggling Colts, but the 243 total yards and 19 first downs were enough for the victory. The Titans gave up 365 yards (327 passing) on the other side, but also forced three turnovers. Overall it’s been a decent-but-not-great couple of weeks for Tennessee.
As for Washington, they tossed a couple of interceptions and committed 11 penalties against the Cowboys. Overall it wasn’t a great game from either side though, and the Commanders weren’t close to winning. Washington has scored just 18 points over the last two games combined, and though I think they’ll do better here I can’t trust them on the cover.
