2. Titans WR Treylon Burks will haul in 100 yards and one touchdown

Wide receiver A.J. Brown, now with the Philadelphia Eagles, is proving he deserved to get a top-market contract, and looking back, the Titans should have paid him what he asked. To fill the void left by Brown’s trade, they traded for Robert woods and used a first-round pick on Treylon Burks.

In two games, the duo has caught a combined 12 receptions for 154 yards, with Burks accounting for seven of those catches. The talent is there, it’s just a matter of giving him a bigger workload, which will happen against the Raiders.

1. Ryan Tannehill will go over 250 yards with 2 TDs and no INTs

With Derrick Henry playing at a high level, the Titans have had a hard time moving the ball. Heading into Week 3, their offense ranks 27th in total yards and 28th in points scored. If they want to get back at the AFC South, they will need to start scoring points and racking up wins. That’s where Ryan Tannehill comes in.

The veteran quarterback has completed less than 60 percent of his passes with two touchdowns and two interceptions. That kind of output won’t help you win many games. On the bright side, Tannehill has been a capable signal-caller for the Titans and he might currently be undergoing a slump. But he will put it all together and throw for two touchdowns with no interceptions against the Raiders.
