Oakland Raiders at Tennessee Titans

Marshawn Lynch will get top billing on your TV station, and justifiably so, but the meat of the Titans' defense is up front. Where the Raiders own a distinct advantage over the Titans is in the passing game. Tennessee attempted to upgrade their backend with corner Logan Ryan and first-round pick Adoree Jackson (who could start). Ryan particularly seemed to struggle this preseason. Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree could be in for big days. While Jackson can match Cooper's speed, the two-time Pro Bowler has a district advantage in height and high-pointing the ball.


The Titans' offense, on the other hand, should have its way with the Raiders' defense. This matchup has all the signs of a potential shootout. Outside of Kahil Mack and the pass rushing front, the Raiders don't appear stout on paper. Tennessee wants to pound the ball, but also provided Marcus Mariota with a major weapons upgrade in the passing game, adding Eric Decker and first-round rookie Corey Davis this year. If the Titans' offensive line can keep Mack off Mariota's back, the third-year quarterback should pick apart the Oakland secondary.


NFL Research stat of the week: The Raiders and Titans went a combined 20-10 with Derek Carr and Marcus Mariota starting in 2016, averaging 25.6 PPG and posting a passer rating of 95.7. Without Carr and Mariota (inc. playoffs): 1-2, 14.7 PPG, 54.8 rating.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers knew  Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys , all along what they had in Davante Adams. It was just a question of whether he'd be healthy enough to show it.
