Oakland has spent most of its key draft picks the last few years rebuilding the offense and it has worked, scoring 35 and 28 points in two games. The Raiders are tops in the NFL in yards with 470 per game and third in points (31.5 points per game). The hype about Derek Carr (618 yards and four TDs already in just two games) seems justified. Their potent offensive attack matches up well with this Titans defense. Tennessee is on a 20-45-5 ATS run, including 15-33-3 ATS at home. Tennessee has has hope for the long term with a rebuilding offense that features Marcus Mariota (four TDs, two INTs) and RB DeMarco Murray (5.2 yards per carry). But, it's not all there yet as the Titans have managed just 16 points per game thus far. The defense is still a soft spot, and is not playing as well as you might think in a loss at Detroit last week. The Lions can't run the football but struck for 137 rushing yards at 6.0 yards per carry. Tennessee will struggle on both sides of the line and struggle to keep up with Oakland. The Titans are 12-34-5 ATS against the AFC and under Jack Del Rio, these Raiders are a perfect 6-0 ATS as a road dog while the Mike Mularkey-led Titans are 1-8 ATS. Take the Raiders.
