The Tennessee Titans will look to keep up the good times on Sunday in Week 5 when they travel to FedEx Field to take on the Washington Commanders for the first time since 2018.
Tennessee enters this game off the back of back-to-back wins over the Las Vegas Raiders and Indianapolis Colts, improving to 2-2 after an 0-2 start.
The Titans are currently tied for the top of their division with the Jacksonville Jaguars. If they win on Sunday, the Titans will remain in first place, but a loss would drop them at least one spot after the Indianapolis Colts won on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Commanders are headed in the opposite direction after losing their last three games to the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. As a result, the Majors are in the basement of the NFC East.
Tipico Sportsbook has the Titans favored away from home by 2.5 points, but do most pundits think Tennessee will win?

Vinnie Iyer: Commanders 30, Titans 27 – “The Titans are still a very unpredictable team with ups and downs week after week. They lost to the Giants and Bills before defeating the Raiders and Colts. The Commanders are terrible against the pass and wide receivers, but the Titans have limited options there without rookie Treylon Burks. Carson Wentz tends to play better at home against weaker defenses and will make sure Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel get going against some poor coverage.”
Bill Bender: Titans 24, Commanders 14 – “Washington has played hard against the run in the last two weeks, which could theoretically make it difficult for Derrick Henry to get going. The Titans will still feed Henry more than 20 times, and the Commanders’ offense has been dismal in the last two losses averaging 9.0 points per game. Tennessee’s defense could also score here. “

Gregg Rosenthal: Titans 24, Commanders 17 – “Every week the Titans offense looks a little closer, Derrick Henry looks a little faster and Ryan Tannehill, well, he always looks the same. That’s a compliment. He flips quarterbacks in this matchup and could turn the scoreboard. Tannehill handles the pressure well, while Carson Wentz runs into it. The Commanders of 2022 only had a chance to be relevant if Ron Rivera’s defense moved forward, but the unit remains in disarray. “
