NFL Preseason Betting - Oakland Raiders at Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans host the Oakland Raiders for Friday’s NFL preseason betting game that will be broadcast on FOX television Friday at 8:00 pm EST. This will be the 10th time the Raiders and Titans have met in NFL preseason betting action 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. The Raiders got a nice win last week when 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 NFL preseason betting odds 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. 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. Russell 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. NFL preseason betting stats for this game show the Raiders as an excellent under team for preseason betting. They are 10-3 Under the total in their last 13 preseason games.
