Raiders, Titans continue preseason
August 15, 2008
By SBGGlobal.com
Oakland Raiders at Tennessee Titans Friday, 8:00 pm Eastern – FOX
SBG Global Opening Line: Titans - 4.5 , Total 34
The Tennessee Titans host the Oakland Raiders in a preseason game on Friday that will be broadcast on FOX television. This will be the 10th time the Raiders and Titans have met in the preseason with the Raiders holding the 5-4 edge. The teams have met a lot in the regular season with the Raiders holding a 23-18 advantage over the Titans. SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Raiders on the Road.
The Raiders got a nice win last week in the preseason as they defeated the San Francisco 49ers 18-6. The defense and special teams were excellent for Oakland as the special teams scored a punt return touchdown while the defense forced four turnovers. Running back Michael Bush was impressive for the Raiders in his first action while first round pick Darren McFadden also played well, rushing 12 times for 48 yards.
The Titans opened the preseason last week as they routed the hapless St. Louis Rams by a score of 34-13. The offense racked up 495 yards, 340 of which came on the ground. First round draft pick Chris Johnson was very impressive as he rushed for 77 yards including a 66 yard TD run. Tennessee is very excited about their first round draft pick. "When he gets the ball in his hands in the open field, I think there's always a chance," Titans head coach Jeff Fisher said. It is also very possible that Johnson splits time this season with last year’s starting running back LenDale White. "Obviously, we're going to have two players and as I look at it, it's going to be LenDale and it's going to be Chris. We're going to change them out throughout the game and back them up." Fisher said.
SBG Global Current Line: Titans - 4 , Total 35
Friday’s game will feature the top quarterbacks selected in the 2006 and 2007 NFL Drafts. Vince Young was the third overall pick in 206 while Russell was the first pick in 2007. Last week in preseason action Young was only 3-6 but he did have an impressive 35 yard run. Russell played a quarter last week against the 49ers and was 2-5 for 13 yards. He is expected to play into the second quarter on Friday followed by quarterbacks Marques Tuiasosopo and Andrew Walter. The Titans quarterback rotation has Young going for about a quarter on Friday followed by Kerry Collins, Ingle Martin and possibly Paul Thompson.
Taking a look at the NFL betting stats for this game we see that the Raiders have been an excellent under team in the preseason of late. They are 10-3 Under the total in their last 13 preseason games.
