The Washington Redskins (4-5) and Tennessee Titans (5-4) will both be looking to end two-game skids on Sunday when they square off in an interconference matchup.  The Redskins were embarrassed 59-28 at home on Monday night by Philadelphia and hope Tennessee quarterback Vince Young did not watch Michael Vick’s performance too closely.

The Titans (-7) welcomed Young back last week in a 29-17 loss at Miami, although it was hardly planned the way it unfolded.  Starting quarterback Kerry Collins suffered a calf injury against the Dolphins and will miss at least the next couple weeks, forcing Young back into action after he had been dealing with ankle and knee injuries himself.  Young fumbled on his third play of the game and later threw an interception in the end zone as he was attempting to rally his team back.

The quarterback shuffle between Collins and Young also severely limited the impact of wide receiver Randy Moss in his first game with Tennessee.  Moss caught only one pass for 26 yards and now has just five catches in his last three games combined, including his last two in Minnesota.

However, Moss should be able to get on track against a Washington defense that is surrendering an NFL-high 415.3 yards per game after giving up 592 to Vick and the Eagles.  The Redskins allowed Vick to throw for 333 yards and four touchdowns while also running for 80 yards and another couple scores.  While Young has not yet shown the capability to put up those types of numbers on the pro level, he certainly has the potential to hurt Washington in similar ways.

Despite their poor play recently, the Redskins have still been involved in a number of close games and could be extra motivated after being embarrassed on national television.  Prior to losing consecutive games by a combined 43 points, Washington had seen four of its previous six games decided by exactly three points, going 2-1-1 against the spread.

There has obviously been a lot of turmoil surrounding this team in D.C., from Albert Haynesworth in the preseason to Donovan McNabb recently.  Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan has been at the center of every controversy so far and must find a way to right the ship again fast or else his team will continue to spin out of control.

Fans and bettors alike could see another high-scoring game here by looking at the numbers.  The OVER is 3-1 in Washington’s last four games overall and 5-1 in Tennessee’s last six.  The OVER has also cashed in the last four meetings between the teams along with five of the last six.
