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.
