because the Raiders are going to whump this Tennessee team.
I like the experience of Gannon /Rice/Brown in their last stand to better a banged up McNair/Mason/McCants/Bennett. George does not instill the fear that he once did and without a running game the Titans could be in trouble. I give tennesse credit for getting there but they did play in weakest division, just got by a bad Pitt defense at home, and have a shaky kicking game.
Seen Rice put 49er teams on his shoulders when they get to this point and carry them to titles and think he does that here. Banged up secondary for Titans will have their hands full with Rice and brown, which leaves porter 1 on 1 , which has been the Raiders wild card all season. If Raiders are able to spread ball around to wideouts it opens up Garner.
Pitt game should take it's toll on Titans along with disrupted practice week due to weather in Tenn this week. Titans not able to fly out to oakland until late Friday due to storm. We saw 49er and Pitt defense not have anything left after wild card games that were emotionally draining and see the same here from Titans. Lots of injuries on defensive side of ball for Titans in secondary and Bullock nicked uo as well. Raiders will try to jump on them quick and make McNair one-dimensional.
It could get ugly quickly my friends. I am concerned with McNair's ability to direct comebacks and offense has not given up this season so i did buy down to 6.5 early in week but everything spells Raider blow out to me.
