Oakland Raiders (0-0) vs. Tennessee Titans (0-0)
When: 1:00 p.m. Sunday, CBS
SB Nation Raiders: Silver And Black Pride
SB Nation Titans: Music City Miracles
Breakdown: The Titans are clearly the better team. QB Vince Young isn't much of a threat to pick you apart passing the ball but the Titans plan to hand the ball off to RB Chris Johnson again and again. It worked last year so I imagine it will in week one against the Raiders.
Player to Watch: Chris Johnson is hard to look past. He's aiming for 2,500 yards and the Raiders, as the 29th worst team against the rush last year, present a great jumping off point for him. The question here should be whether he hits 200 yards.
Line: Titans are six-point favorites.
Prediction: We're taking the Titans in this one because the Raiders haven't demonstrated they're able to stop the run game and the Titans have arguably the best running back in the game. The Titans should win by a touchdown or more.

I'm wanting to see if the Raiders D has improved against the run.
If they can stop CJ then it might be a sign that the Chiefs will have a hard time against the Raiders this year. I know Raiders are improved but I think the jury is still out on their Run Defense.

Nice assumption. If we get destroyed by him, good news for you guys.
Hence, that may be the way to beat us. But if we contain CJ, I know we will sweep you guys.
