Stunned by an improbable comeback at the hands of the Miami Dolphins in Week 2, Derek Carr’s Las Vegas Raiders traveled to Tennessee to take on Mike Vrabel and the Titans.
The Titans are on a short week off the heels of Monday Night Football and return home to host a hungry Raiders team looking to bounce back after a vexing loss. Can Carr, Davante Adams, Josh Jacobs and the Raiders offense outpace Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry, Treylon Burks and the Titans? The game is scheduled to kick off Sunday at 1 pm ET from Nissan Stadium.
Here’s a look at the betting details and USA TODAY’s NFL staff picks for the Raiders vs. Titans Week 3 game:
Raiders at Titans odds, moneyline and over/under
TITANS ROSTER MOVES:Chris Jackson, Trenton Cannon landed on injured reserve
POWER RANKINGS:Bills, Chiefs remain 1-2, but Dolphins among two new teams in the top five
COACHING GRADES:Head of the class for Andy Reid, huge failure for Frank Reich
Lorenzo Reyes: Raiders 22, Titans 13
Yes, the Titans ran into the Bills last week, but this team simply isn’t showing the physicality on both sides of the ball that made it so tough in previous seasons. The Raiders will want to bounce back after letting that game against Arizona slip away. And with the line under a field goal and with Tennessee 1-4 against the spread over its last five, I’m on Vegas here.
Safid Deen: Raiders 27, Titans 17
Derek Carr, Davante Adams and new coach Josh McDaniels might not have imagined an 0-2 start to their first season together. Don’t worry. They couldn’t have asked for a better matchup in Week 3. All they have to do is stack the box against Titans star Derrick Henry, and take the top off the Titans’ defense this week. Raiders get their first win, while the Titans fall to 0-3.
Lance Pugmire: Raiders 27, Titans 20
One of these teams will be 0-3? That’s stunning given the pedigree of the returning AFC No. 1 playoff seed and the hopes for what Davante Adams would bring to Las Vegas.
