Tennessee Titans at Washington Redskins

This may not be the game that most of the nation is hoping to see this weekend, but I think it will give Redskins fans a chance to enjoy a win again for the first time in several weeks. The Titans just escaped the winless Jaguars at home last week and now have to go on the road to face an offense that has put up significantly more yards and points. Even if Jake Locker does play, I don’t see the Titans being able to keep pace with Washington’s playmakers.

Seattle Seahawks at St. Louis Rams

I could break down specific match ups for this game, but here’s the bottom line. I don’t see the Seahawks dropping a second consecutive game. I know St. Louis is at home and has been more competitive than many (myself included) expected after Sam Bradford went down, but the Rams only win this season was against the Buccaneers. I think the Rams will give Seattle a good fight, but the Rams 26th ranked rush defense will likely give way to a good day for Marshawn Lynch and the Seahawks will get back on track.
