The Washington Redskins have done a great job against the run this season, but without DeAngelo Hall in the secondary, they have been getting beat badly in the passing game. Right now Jake Locker's status is up in the air, but I think even if it is Charlie Whitehurst, the Washington secondary can still be had. Kirk Cousins appeared to be the man in Washington, getting a lot of love after a good outing in his first game replacement of Robert Griffing III. Many were even speculating that he would keep the starting job when RGIII returns. How quickly things have changed as some are now clamoring for Colt McCoy to get a shot. Washington's only win this season has come vs. what is turning into an automatic win for NFL teams in playing Jacksonville. Washington has been outscored 130-85 in four straight losses, so it is just too much to expect them to cover nearly a TD in this game, especially with Kirk Cousins who right now has lost all his confidence. Washington's 6-19 ATS home mark as a favorite of 4+ points in their last 25 bodes poorly as well, and so does their 5-21-2 ATS mark in their last 28 at home vs. a team with a losing road record. There are just too many points being offered in a game that can be won by either team. So, take the points and play on Tennessee.
