Titans vs. Commanders Prediction
I’m on Washington here. The Commanders simply got caught with their pants down last week, and Dallas was able to pull out the win as a result. If Washington’s going to make the postseason, they have to be able to take advantage of spots like these. Tennessee showed up in a big way last week, but those outputs are frankly unsustainable for this Titans group so give me the Commanders by a TD.
