Tennessee Titans at Oakland Raiders

Up first is a must-win in Oakland for the Silver and Black. With the Tennessee Titans (7-5) visiting the Oakland Raiders (6-6), this is a must win for both teams as they try to stay alive in the AFC Playoff picture.

Both teams are vying for a Wild Card spot, as well as clawing at winning their divisions possibly, so this game has major ramifications for both involved. The Titans have certainly looked the part as of late. Currently on a three-game winning streak which included a narrow win over AFC West favorite Chiefs in Arrowhead, this team is certainly on the rise, and will be a major threat to the Raiders.

Despite the Raiders recent skid which includes two blowout losses, one thing that the Raiders have had in their favor is their home field advantage. With a 4-1 record at the Coliseum (London was considered a home game as well), expect the Raiders to get back to some home cooking and control the game on the ground. I am expecting a close one but the Raiders should squeak out a W led by Josh Jacobs and company.

Prediction: Raiders 24, Titans 20
