Game Prediction

The Raiders are returning to Oakland, a place where they hold a 4-1 record on the season. There is no doubt that the team has been experiencing some sort of jet lag, and hopefully remaining in California for the next few weeks helps the team.

Expect the Raiders to look better this week than they have recently, but the hot streak of the Titans will be too much for the Raiders. As previously stated, the Raiders need to do three things to win this game; Get after the QB, stop the run, and find a way to generate offense.

I believe the Raiders will be able to get to the QB, and they may be able to slow down Derrick Henry for a bit, but once the offense is not putting up points and is handing the Titans the ball back time after time, everything will fall apart.

The Raiders receivers have struggled to make any plays as of late, and there is no reason to believe they will be able to do it against the Titans. If the offense cannot stay on the field and put points on the board, the defense will not stand a chance, no matter who is on the field.

The Titans continue their run, and although the game is competitive, the Raiders continue to frustrate fans and struggle on offense.

Prediction: Titans 28, Raiders 13
