Vegas Play of the Day: Titans at Redskins

Here’s the latest installment of the Play of the Day, which uses odds from the South Point. Our three sports writers started with a $10,000 bankroll — fictional, of course.

Washington Redskins minus-5 vs. Tennessee Titans: $550 to win $500: Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins has been wildly inconsistent since being elevated from his backup role after an injury to starter Robert Griffin III. Today against Tennessee, though, the Kirk Cousins some felt during the offseason could be a full-time starter in the NFL will put on a show.

The Titans defense has given up a combined 70 points in the past two weeks. More important, after blowing a three-touchdown lead last week against Cleveland, Tennessee players could already be mentally defeated. If Washington scores early, they should be able to turn this one into a lopsided affair.

Tennessee will also be starting a backup in Charlie Whitehurst, a career second-stringer who doesn’t present much of a threat. And Tennessee will be thin at running back with Shonn Greene ruled out, meaning the Titans will have difficulties moving the ball.

Standings: Bern (48-44-1, $10,651), Keefer (45-51, $8,631), Brewer (43-48-3, $6,105)
