The Tennessee Titans will look to keep the good times rolling on Sunday in Week 5 when they travel to FedEx Field to take on the Washington Commanders for the first time since 2018.

Tennessee enters this game off two straight victories over the Las Vegas Raiders and Indianapolis Colts, improving their record to 2-2 after an 0-2 start.

The Titans are currently tied atop their division with the Jacksonville Jaguars. If they win on Sunday, the Titans will remain in first place, but a loss would knock them back a spot at least after the Indianapolis Colts won on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the Commanders are going in an opposite direction after having lost their last three games to the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. As a result, the Commanders are in the NFC East cellar.

Tipico Sportsbook has the Titans favored on the road by 2.5 points, but do the majority of experts out there believe Tennessee will win?

Score Prediction: Titans 31, Commanders 27

Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports

Vinnie Iyer: Commanders 30, Titans 27 – “The Titans continue to be a very unpredictable up-and-down team from week to week. They were lost against the Giants and Bills before beating down the Raiders and Colts. The Commanders are terrible against the pass and wide receivers, but the Titans have limited options there without rookie Treylon Burks. Carson Wentz tends to play better at home against weaker defenses and will make sure Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel get going against bad coverage.”

Bill Bender: Titans 24, Commanders 14 – “Washington has played tough against the run the last two weeks, which theoretically could make it tough for Derrick Henry to get going. The Titans still will feed Henry 20-plus times, and the Commanders’ offense has been abysmal in the last two losses with an average of 9.0 points per game. Tennessee’s defense could score on here, too. “

Gregg Rosenthal: Titans 24, Commanders 17 – “Every week, the Titans’ offense looks a little closer, Derrick Henry looks a little faster and Ryan Tannehill, well, he always looks the same. That’s a compliment. Flip the quarterbacks in this matchup and I might flip the score. Tannehill navigates pressure well, while Carson Wentz runs into it. The 2022 Commanders only had a chance to be relevant if Ron Rivera’s defense made strides, but the unit remains disorganized. “
