Silver Minings: Raiders-Titans predictions

It’s time for our weekly Las Vegas Raiders game predicitons.

I’m 4-1 picking Raiders games tis season and they, of course, are 1-4 and have dropped four straight games, with three of those losses being by double digits.

Normally, I would stay away from picking the Silver and Black while they are mired in such a big funk.

But their opponent is the Tennessee Titans and they are awful. Like the Raiders, Tennessee is -14 with their one win coming last week in a miracle one-point win at the Arizona Cardinals in a game the Titans had a one percent win probability rate in the fourth quarter.

So, we have to stick with the home team in this one.

Prediction: Raiders 23, Titans 15
