Oakland Raiders at Tennessee Titans: I have a feeling that the Raiders will rebound and notch their second win of the season in Tennessee.  The Raiders pass defense is absolutely getting torched for a league high 404 yards per game.  

If the Raiders can shore this up even a little bit their fans will see a huge difference considering the Raiders offense is at the opposite end of the spectrum – that unit is leading the league in overall offense averaging 470 yards per game.  

Tennessee’s offense is ranked 21st in the league, while their defense is ranked 19th – numbers that lead me to believe the Raiders should win this game!  

Prediction: Oakland 28, Tennessee 17 (If this prediction is accurate, it does not benefit the Broncos in any way, however, I am giving them one more chance.  A Raider loss in week three and I rethink my analysis)
