Raiders: 3 teams to root for in Week 13 as the playoff race heats up
Tennessee Titans
Finally, we take a look at the AFC South-leading Tennessee Titans, who steamrolled over the Indianapolis Colts last weekend. This weekend, Derrick Henry and company will take on Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns, who currently stand at 8-3, and still have games against the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers left on their schedule.
Las Vegas already has a win in hand against the Browns, which could prove to be huge down the stretch. The Raiders control their own destiny when you look at the schedule, as they have a lighter schedule, and can do their own dirty work with wins against the Colts and the Dolphins.

Of course, the main thing the Raiders need to do this weekend is beat the winless Jets, because if they cannot do that, they do not belong in the playoff discussion. The fan base went down this road last year, seeing a 6-4 start disappear and turn into 7-9, but the Raiders can start moving in the right direction inside MetLife on Sunday.
