I doubt the Titans are as good as the Skins but everyone has a right to their opinion. A lot of these guys have their own personal bias so I don't put much stock in what they say anyway. Some of these guys are there because they are popular or funny or controversial, not because they are smart or articulate. ( Emmitt Smith)

This is so not a big deal. So he says he thinks the Titans are better than the Redskins. It's not like he's saying he thinks the Lions are better.
I like how you buried the part about Key saying he thought the Redskins were the 2nd best team in the NFL. Key (who I have become a big fan of this past year) has been high on the Skins lately.

Chris Carter has been anti Skins, for a while. I thought it was because he did not like Gibbs, but maybe he just does not like the skins.

Chris Carter is a jerk.
That said, Tennessee's opponents have a combined record of 5-17, which is close to, if not dead last as far as strength of schedule. Two of their wins are over winless teams (Cincy and Houston). 3 of their wins are at home.
Our opponents have a combined record of 15-8, good for toughest in the league. We're 2-1 on the road, and have played 1 less home game thus far.
Yes, Tennessee's defense is fantastic, and their running game is very good, but they struggle to put up points big time. I don't think they are better than us, but they currently have a better record, so the argument can be made I guess.
Frankly I don't like all the press we're getting. I much prefer being an underdog and nobody thinking we're any good. I hate hype. Chris Carter is just one of thousands of talking heads. Good for him for having an opinion.
EDIT: On a side note, the other team being talked about as top three in the league, the Giants, have played opponents with a combined record 5-14. Other than the Skins, their opponents are 1-13. Pathetic.

Cris Carter also said last Sunday that Santana Moss would be his breakout player of the day and he expected him to have a big day against the Cowboys.
