When you look at the team that is going to be on the field for the Oakland Raiders, you really wonder where the points are going to come from.

They are missing their right tackle Trent Brown, who has been great this season. Maybe even more important is the hit their skill positions take with Josh Jacobs banged up (if he plays) and with Hunter Renfrow out.

While the Tennessee Titans are dealing injuries as well, just looking at the momentum of both teams and who is going to actually be on the field it is clear to me who the better team is.

Now, having said that I will never trust the Titans to win a huge game like this because of how often they have burned me in the past. So I expect it to be much closer than it should be, but I am going to side with the Titans.

The defense could really do with a “statement game” type of day, but I am afraid that soft coverage vs this Raiders dink-and-dunk style of offense is going to be annoying all day.

Titans win 27-21
