The Washington Commanders (1-3) welcome the Tennessee Titans (2-2) Sunday to FedEx Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Titans vs. Commanders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Commanders failed to cover as 3-point underdogs on the road last week in a 25-10 loss at Dallas Cowboys. After beating the Jacksonville Jaguars to commence the season, the Commanders have lost and not covered in 3 straight weeks.
The Commanders are led by QB Carson Wentz, who has 8 passing TDs and 5 interceptions. First-round pick WR Jahan Dotson (hamstring) will be out this week, which is a blow to Washington’s offense.
Tennessee is still rebuilding its confidence after a 41-7 Monday Night Football loss to Buffalo in Week 2. The Titans have since beat the Las Vegas Raiders (24-22 in Week 3) and the Indianapolis Colts (24-17 in Week 4).
As per the last multiple seasons, the Titans are led by RB Derrick Henry. He sits 11th in the league in rushing yards with 306 on the season. Unfortunately for the Titans, they’ll be missing multiple key pieces on the defensive side due to injuries for this one.

Titans at Commanders picks and predictions
Prediction
Titans 24, Commanders 17
Moneyline
PASS.
Tennessee is the better side, and it has fewer key skilled-position injuries. I’ll take the Titans, but I’d prefer to play them on the spread.
Against the spread
BET TENNESSEE -1.5 (-108).
The Commanders aren’t a great run-stopping side, ranking 16th in opponents’ rushing yards per attempt (4.4 yards). With the Titans having the most unstoppable back in the league, I expect King Henry to have his way.
Tennessee is also starting to get more production from QB Ryan Tannehill. He had an 81% completion rate (17 of 21 pass attempts) against the Colts last weekend and played well against the Raiders the prior week.
The Titans are 2-2 ATS, while the Commanders are 1-3 ATS. Washington’s offense, especially without Dotson, likely won’t impress as starting RB Antonio Gibson has struggled this season (43.3 rushing yards per game).
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 42.5 (-103).
Both teams are 2-2 O/U this season.
The Commanders won’t have the firepower to keep pace here. Washington scored just 18 points the last two weeks, and one thing the Cowboys (last week’s opponent) and Titans have in common is an elite presence on the defensive line.
Titans DL Jeffery Simmons should be able to have his way against the Commanders, and Washington’s issues should continue.
