The Washington Redskins need to run the football against the Tennessee Titans to earn their second victory of the season<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tennessee snapped a four-game losing streak in picking up a 16-14 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars as four-point home favorites Sunday, while going UNDER the betting total for the fourth time in six contests this year.\u00a0 The Titans must continue to try and stop the run to be successful, which is important to consider when making your Week 7 NFL predictions, as they surrendered an average of 154.3 yards per game on the ground during their downward trend.\u00a0 Tennessee is 7-19 SU and 9-14-3 ATS as underdogs the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 16-10 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Titans have a chance of covering this number if regular starting quarterback Jake Locker returns to the field, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the NFL betting lines, as he has been bothered by a thumb injury to his throwing hand.\u00a0 Tennessee may be in the market for a new signal-caller in the 2015 draft, considering the former Washington Huskies start has completed just 58 percent of his passes and compiled a 75.9 passer rating in four games of action.<\/p>\n

Washington is 1-5 on the season and its only victory under first-year head coach Jay Gruden came against the lowly Jaguars on Sept. 14, as it returns home after suffering a 30-20 defeat to the Arizona Cardinals as five-point underdogs.\u00a0 The Redskins have actually fallen in defeat in 13 of their last 14 games dating back to last season, with most of those setbacks coming without quarterback Robert Griffin III due to injuries.\u00a0 Backup Kirk Cousins has been unable to protect the football recently, with the team turning it over 10 times in its last three contests.<\/p>\n

The Redskins have been unable to keep their defense off the field due to converting just 6 of 30 third-down opportunities in the past three affairs, but they do sit just above the Titans in that category.\u00a0 Washington has dropped its two home meetings in this series, but those games took place in 1997 and 2010.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Titans due to the Redskins being 2-7 SU and 3-6 ATS in October the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n
