The Tennessee Titans started the preseason with a week one win against the San Diego Chargers and then they took the loss in week two to the Carolina Panthers. The Titans offense is averaging 21.5 points and 383.5 yards per game and they are minus two in turnover ratio. Titans starting QB Marcus Mariota has completed 14 of his 15 passes with a touchdown and an interception, Alex Tanney has completed 18 of his 27 passes, and Matt Cassel has completed 8 of his 12 passes. Derrick Henry leads the Tennessee rushing attack with 15 carries and 105 yards while DeMarco Murray has 113 yards on 11 carries. The Titans defense is allowing 18 points and 361.5 yards per game with two sacks, one fumble recovery, and two interceptions. Kevin Beard and Kalan Reed lead Tennessee with seven tackles each and Curtis Grant has 8 tackles. The Titans look to be improved this season but the jury is out on how improved they will be.

Oakland is 0-4 against the spread in their last four home games and 6-2 against the spread against the AFC. Tennessee is 0-4 against the spread in their last four Saturday games and 0-4 against the spread in their last four road games. The favorite has covered the point spread in eight of the last nine meetings of these two teams.

These are two teams where the offenses look to be ahead of the defenses and I expect plenty of scoring and for this one to go over the point spread.
