Tennessee Titans at Washington Commanders: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 13 game
NFL Week 12 Overreactions
Mackenzie Salmon breaks down NFL week 12 wildest games.
Sports Seriously
Week 12 was surprising for the Tennessee Titans (3-8) and Washington Commanders (7-5) for completely different reasons, and they’ll meet in an interconference matchup on Sunday.
Will Levis orchestrated the best win of his young career last week when he went into Houston and threw two touchdown passes against the division-leading Texans. It wasn’t a result many expected given how bad the offense has been, but it’s an encouraging sign for a quarterback hoping to remain a starter for years to come.
For weeks, the Dallas Cowboys looked like an easy victory. But the Commanders couldn’t capitalize against the struggling team and instead dropped their third-straight game. It’s concerning an amazing start to the season is looking to be wasted, but Washington gets another crack at it back at home.

Lorenzo Reyes: Commanders 27, Titans 14
Washington has come down a little bit, though the team’s obvious talent remains. Getting steady production out of Jayden Daniels, while protecting the ball, is essential. The Titans aren’t the strongest opponent and are second-to-last in turnover differential.
Tyler Dragon: Commanders 27, Titans 20
The Commanders have lost three straight games, and Jayden Daniels is experiencing some mild rookie growing pains. I think Washington gets back on track this week against a bad Titans team.
Richard Morin: Commanders 35, Titans 16
Washington needs to get back on track after a head-scratching loss, and they’ll be able to when a rebuilding Tennessee squad comes to visit.
Jordan Mendoza: Commanders 24, Titans 17
Washington won’t like to see its offense go against the best pass defense in the league in Tennessee. However, expect Jayden Daniels to play with a sense of urgency and use his legs a ton to extend drives and get his team back on the winning side.

DC Central Kitchen to provide record 69,000 Thanksgiving meals
Thanksgiving is almost here and D.C. Central Kitchen is gearing up to serve more meals than ever.
Organizers say when it’s all said and done they will provide a record 69,000 meals Thursday, and volunteers have been hard at work all week to make that possible.
It’s giving season, and volunteer Maria Crupi says she knows firsthand the importance of giving back.
“My parents were immigrants,” she said. “They immigrated here, and we lived in Anacostia and lots of people helped them out because they didn’t speak English.”
That’s why she’s joining dozens of volunteers at D.C. Central Kitchen cutting, scooping and prepping thanksgiving meals ahead of turkey day.
“A community is supposed to help each other,” Crupi said.
And help is on the way.
This year, D.C. Central Kitchen is kicking it into overdrive. Through their work with 100 community partners like schools, shelters and grassroots organizations, they will provide 69,000 Thanksgiving meals Thursday. That’s double from last year and a big bump from the 16,000 meals on a normal day.
“Food insecurity in our city has increased this year to now 38% of D.C. residents are classified as food insecure,” said Mike Curtin Jr., the CEO of D.C. Central Kitchen. “So more than one in three of our neighbors might not know where their next meal is coming from.”
D.C. Central Kitchen can meet that demand thanks to a brand new state of the art space in Southwest D.C.
Organizers say volunteers make it all possible.
This week, hundreds are lending a hand over several shifts to make those Thanksgiving meals.
Crupi volunteers twice a month and says she’s thankful she can make a difference.
“Food is something that brings us all together and everybody should be allowed to have food,” Crupi said. “That should not be something that nobody has.”
D.C. Central Kitchen says they need volunteers all year long, not just during the holiday season. Anyone 12 and over can sign up.

Washington Huskies’ Jedd Fisch on Oregon Ducks’ Autzen Stadium: ‘Hostile Environment’
Washington Huskies coach Jedd Fisch spoke to the media ahead of his team’s matchup with the Oregon Ducks in Autzen Stadium, and he talked about the challenge of playing on the road, especially in Eugene.
“This is another opportunity to go into an incredible environment, very hostile environment, probably the most hostile of all the environments I would assume on a rivalry weekend. It’s going to be loud, it’s going to be energetic, it’s going to be enthusiastic, they’re fighting to become undefeated this season and get ready to play in the Big Ten Championship Game. They’ve got a lot that they’re excited about in terms of how they’re playing football right now,” he said.
Fisch has decided on a starting quarterback in time for the showdown with the No. 1 Oregon Ducks. However, Washington coach Jedd Fisch declined to name either quarterback, Will Rogers or Demond Williams Jr., as the starter during his media availability session on Monday.
“We won’t announce any starters regarding the quarterback position . . . as for the other positions I think we’ll have our usual starters out there,” he said.
Fisch said he knows who will be taking first team snaps at practice, but won’t be publicly announcing it.
“I have a good idea how we’re going to do that,” Fisch said. “Now it’s important for us that the guy we believe will start the game gets a significant amount of reps in practice week, but as you know we’re not afraid to play two quarterbacks as well.”
The Ducks are going to be hosting Washington for the last game of the season, which is typically reserved for rivalry week.
Despite the Huskies rolling into the season finale with a 6-5 record, Fisch believes that a win over Oregon could be the spark they need in all off the field aspects.
“The key is for our team which I talked to our guys about is ‘Let’s spend six days focusing on trying to beat Oregon.’ Let’s just do that. And let’s not worry about who’s reaching out and who’s trying to get what, what money looks like and what negotiations look like, and let’s do everything we possibly can to beat Oregon,”
Oregon will look to finish the season out with a perfect 12-0 record, their showdown with Washington will be broadcasted on NBC with kickoff at 4:30 p.m.
