    I have a bad feeling about this game, even though we should have beat the Raiders the last 2 years.

    Our D can't stop a 3rd string QB and 2nd rate WRs, Carr and Co. will have a field day against us.

    I get people saying "Well the Raiders secondary is just as bad" BUT, I think their O will be better than ours ...

    Our top WRs (Matthews, Decker, Davis) all have either missed time due to injury, are new to the team, or both. This makes me think that it will take a little bit for them to get on the same page with MM ... I see this leading to many 1st half punts.

    Raiders top WRs have been together in the system with Carr longer and will hit the ground running ... it's gonna feel a lot like last year when teams would score on their first 4 consecutive drives.

    We will get it together somewhat in the 2nd half, but not enough to win.

    Raiders 30-24

    Well it's only fitting that our emphasis when the offseason kicked off was special teams. So I'm gonna call it now, special teams wins this for us. 31-24 and JROB looks like an absolute f*ckin genius.....:cigar:

    Titans win. It's hard to predict but for this week, I feel we win convincingly.

    I picked Raiders by 10-13.

    I just think Carr is lethal and I don't trust Mularkey/Robiskie's offensive playbook from 1976 to get job done on offense.

    the Titans have been pretty real excellent at disguising their ST dominance in the 2017 exhibition games...

    I choose:

    "I don't no f*ckin' idea what the score will be...."

    Seriously, no idea what kind of team we have based off of what we've seen, and how we finalized this roster. Mariota has looked horrible and great. Murray and Henry looked pretty average. Our OL dominated AND got owned bad. Our defense is the exact same as last year. Good on 1st and 2nd down and super sucky on 3rd. We'll get scored on. Didn't see much of DW so I have to assume he'll be good. Spend a ton on ST's and we still looked like chit in pre-season- so who knows. If I had to guess I'd say we lose by 10. But not if we show up like we did against the Panthers 1s then we win by 8.
