This is a simple case of math. An ultra-low score is projected, as reflected in the total of 37.5. That suggests Washington can cover by putting up as few as 14 points. Fill-in QB Josh Johnson took awhile to get comfortable in his first start in forever last Sunday but engineered two late-scoring drives. With the offenses relying on rushes from RBs Adrian Peterson and Derrick Henry, the game could be shortened, which enhances the Skins’ chances to cover.

Washington played well enough to get the win last week, but that was against a Jaguars team that has clearly given up. The Titans have won three straight, the last two blowouts, and their defense has shown up in a big way. Derrick Henry has led a rushing attack that's managed 479 yards in their last two games, and now he'll face a defense that's allowed 399 rush yards in its last two. Four of the Titans' last five wins have been by double-digits, so they've shown they can blow out bad teams. And with Washington still incredibly banged up, they're a bad team.

Despite their season being an up-and-down wild affair, the Washington Redskins are still in the playoff hunt. QB Josh Johnson did a great job leading his team to victory last week against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Titans made light work of the New York Giants. Both defenses are great in my opinion, and to be completely honest, both offenses leave a lot to be desired. This game will be a defensive slugfest.
