Washington at Tennessee

Washington was humiliated on Monday Night in front of a national audience. That was no ordinary humiliation either. They allowed what some are calling the best QB performance ever. It was 35-0 Eagles before your seat was warm. Athletes have a lot of pride and as a result we quite often see that after a team gets buried, they puff their chests and come up big next time out. I fully expect that to be the case with the Redskins this week. Mike Shanahan is 13-4 ATS off a double-digit division loss in his coaching career. He's also 11-1 ATS after a game in which his team trailed by 2+ TDs at halftime. This is not a great Redskins team, but they did beat Green Bay and Philadelphia, so the talent is there. Tennessee has shown a lot of deficiencies on defense the last two weeks allowing 62 oints in two losses, both games season highs in points allowed. The offense has bogged down, and they have QB issues. Kerry Collins is out and Vince Young has an ankle injury. He'll play, but won't be at 100%. That is a bigger problem for him than most QBs because he depends so much on his legs to be effective. The Titans are a very weak choice as a 3.5-9.5 point favorite where they are a woeful 26-40 ATS under Jeff Fisher in this range. The Skins have failed to cover as a road dog just once in their last six. They are also 31-14 ATS in their last 45 games on the road when getting 3.5 to 7 points. I like Washington in this one.
