GAME #3- LAS VEGAS RAIDERS @ TENNESSEE TITANS (1:00 PM ET)

This game is basically the exact opposite of the aforementioned Bills vs Dolphins game. The Tennessee Titans got annihilated by the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football and fell to 0-2. The Las Vegas Raiders had a 20-0 lead at halftime against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon. They proceeded to take their foot off the gas, stop scoring points of any kind, and the Cardinals beat them on a fumble returned for a touchdown in overtime.

The Battle of the 0-2’s.

Whichever team loses this game will face national scrutiny and their fan base, and possibly owners/general managers, will be called to make changes within the franchises. While 0-2 or 0-3 doesn’t exactly write off your season it still isn’t a great look.

The Raiders and Titans join the Cincinnati Bengals, Carolina Panthers, and the Atlanta Falcons as winless teams so far this season. That is not the company you want to keep.

The Titans have been less than successful even with Derrick Henry but it seems that they are really reeling from the loss of receiver AJ Brown, who is in fact thriving as a Philadelphia Eagle. The Raiders are loaded on offense and their defense performs well when they aren’t on the field for an entire 30-minute half. The Raiders should deepen the wounds inflicted by the Bills on the Titans and leave Nissan Stadium 1-2.

PREDICTION: Raiders 30, Titans 21
