The Tennessee Titans (7-5) are looking very much like a team that could edge its way into the playoffs after recording a 31-17 win over the visiting Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in Nissan Stadium.
With the victory, the Titans have now won three games in a row, and will look to extend that streak to four as they face the Oakland Raiders (6-6) this week on the road.
The Titans are favored to leave with the win by a point spread of (-2.5), according to Bet MGM.
The Raiders have hardly had the same type of momentum as the Titans have held lately, dropping their past two consecutive contests.

Oakland has scored just 12 combined points in two games, recording a 40-9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last week, and falling 34-3 to the New York Jets in the week prior to that.
While the Titans could have their quarterback of the future in Ryan Tannehill, things couldn’t be much different at the position for the Raiders.
Quarterback Derek Carr is likely playing for his job at this point, and this game could ultimately end up being the deciding factor.
Carr has been met with plenty of criticism, including after he went 20-of-30 passing for 222 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions against Kansas City.
