Prediction

Both offenses will thrive. The Raiders’ offensive attack has proven to be elite with Carr under center, and Mariota and company will have no choice to perform well against a poor Raiders defense.

In an expected shootout, the defense that forces the most turnovers or puts together the most stops will walk off the field 2-1, and without much reason to be side with the Silver and Black, the Titans unfortunately earn the nod in this one.

Oakland Raiders 27; Tennessee Titans 31
