Let this serve as the official Raiders Titans prognostication thread.
Post your predicted score and the winner shall achieve the highly regarded and much sought after post of Raiderdamus. The winner will be chosen by whoever: A) Has the correct winning team B) Has the lowest combined total of points off from each team's score C) Is a Raider fan.
The winner can then e-mail me their weekly predictions and I shall post them on the front page--so that we all may benefit from their soothsaying.
If their is a tie, we shall have joint Raidersdamuses. Unless they decide there can be only one and then fight to the death...which would be totally awesome.

Wow! I was just typing the same score!

21-17 Raiders

A TD grab for DHB and Reece and Miller
A nice debut for JC with 275 3td 0 int’s.
And a big 4th quarter fumble causing hit by Seymour! Feed me Seymour!

but my head is leaning that way. This is why I seldom place money on the Raiders.

Raiders 24
Tennessee 21.
The Raiders defense suffocates Vince Young but are unfortunately beat by both play action passing and sloppy tackling.
The Raiders spread the ball around, with one goal line rushing TD (by not McFadden, probably Bush) and a dump off pass to McFadden turns into a td. Another long wide open strike by Campbell to Nick Miller. Seabass blasts a 48 yarder somewhere in that game to give us the edge.

If this team comes together like I believe it will
we could beat these guys in week 7. But Sunday I’d say:
Raiders 23
Titans 27
I see VY getting sacked 3 times and coughing up a couple turnovers. Unfortunately CJ just proves to hard to catch on a few big plays and he finishes with 143 combined yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Like slapchop I also see a rushing TD, but it’s Campbell, on a rollout. And DHB gets behind the Titans left corner for a 65 yard score.
On a brighter note, next week in the coliseum, we get a sweet victory against the Rams.

And as to Rolando
He finds out that NFL teams really are a lot better than those squads he faced at ‘bama. But he’ll learn and get better every week.
My prayer to the Football gods. At the end of McClain’s third season, as he plays in his second consecutive Pro Bowl, some ESPN idiot compares him to Mike Singletary. Or Ray Lewis. Or Matt Millen!

dont mind CJ getting 100 yds and 14pts max
so long as we win. He’s in my fantasy team on the NFL UK website :)
correction:
CJ getting 12 points. I assume the Titans don’t have sufficient injuries to require their star running back to kick his own extra points.
OAK 34 - TEN 27
SeaBass gets some work in, 4 fg (long 51) 3 pats
JC – 300 yds, 2 tds, 0 int
DHB – 6 catches for 80 yds, 1 td
ZMiller – 8c, 110yds, 1 td
1 td by defense or a gimme for the o from the d by forcing TO DEEEEEPPP in Titan territory
CJ – 130 yds 3 tds
pair of FGs
NO MERCY!
27-24
Raiders over Titans. CJ torches the Raiders for 150 and a couple of TD’s. The Raiders answer back with a Dmac TD, 2 TD’s from Zach Attack Miller, and a pair of FG’s by Seabass.

Titans 27-24
Late field goal wins a what looks like a blowout however Oakland makes a valiant comeback to tie only to be heart-broken because the hole they were in was too deep. If I was picking a Raiders win it would be 23-20 but am going with Tennessee. At least we cover the spread.

Interesting that you say that
Got a guy around here loves to bet, but only bets a dollar at a time, so I got the Raiders and 7. For a buck.
da raiders
I am going to say that the raiders are going to win the hard fought game 17-14.
So TItans fans can't be a part of this?
If so,
TEN – 31
OAK – 14

23-20 Raiders in OT
Chris Johnson gets plenty of production between the 20’s, but the Raiders red zone defense holds him to only 1 TD.
Darren McFadden has an OK day, enough to keep the Titans defense honest, while Jason Campbell has a great day throwing to Zach Miller, Louis Murphy, and DHB against a mediocre Titans pass defense.
Regular time ends in a 20-20 tie, Raiders win the coin toss and Janikowski hits a 54-yarder to win.
Titans 28 Raiders 14
Zach Miller catches a touchdown pass and RUN DMC runs in a goal line score.
The pass rush does an admirablle job on Vince Young, less than 250 yards passing, less than 70 yards rushing.
Chris Johnson runs for 120+ with a couple 40+ yard runs, including one for a touchdown, the run defense shows signs of being competent, this week the assignment was formidable, they’ll show signigicant improvement next week on Stephen Jackson, going from one great RB to another.

plus 1
i say we do a pretty good job
but the matchup is heavily in tennesses favor. as much as i want us to win, i dont think we match up well enough. it wouldnt be so bad if we werent going up against last years #1 rusher, but we are. that spells obvious trouble.
and beyond that, tennessee is a dam good team. im just as tired of moral victories as everyone else, but if we walk away with holding CJ2K under 200 yards, ill consider it a step in the right direction.
please let me be wrong
I hope I'm wrong too, agree, matchup's are too tough too overcome, the run defense will
improve, this is not a good litmus test e.g. positive or negative.

I hope you're wrong too
But I’ll be surprised if we score more than 14 with as ineffective as our running game will be. Which basically means Campbell will have to blow them away. Course if Tenn does run the ball like we expect, then the clock will be ate up too.

Raiders 13 Titans 10 Defensive game with a lot of turnovers…
Sorry about that, it was the first score that came to mind
and there were so many scores up already and missed it, apparently Noon like that final score too.
If it turns out to be the final score you are Raiderdamus and I bow to you!
You are at least the 3rd person
whose mind has caught this score. This can only be a positive sign.

Raiders Defense scores a safety, TD, and a turnover turns into a field goal. So Raiders defense gets 12, Radiers Offense gets 7, and Titans kick 3 field goals.
Raiders - 20
Titans – suck

Silver and Black emerge victorious, with a solid defensive showing
and an offense that moves the chains efficiently most of the game, while struggling to get into the end zone a couple of times.
19-16 Raiders. CJ gets his hundred on the ground, and finds the end zone at least once.

Raiders upset Titans
Raiders 23
Titans 17
Chris Johnson gets his yards, but Titans can only get into the endzone twice. Seabass strikes with 3 field goals to win it. Titans make a late drive, but fumble late in the drive. So let it be written, so let it be done! Go Raiders!

Tomorrow will mark the dawn of a new era. The defense will hold Johnson under 100 yards, DHB won’t drop a pass, McFadden will have a big day, and JaMarcus will be no where in sight.

My Prediction: 23-20 oakland
Raiders first series results in a touchdown, Tennessee’s first starts off well and then stalls on a turnover.
Raiders punt, Tennessee punts, raider field Goal, tenn, Field goal
Half Time
Raider score a TD, TENN scores a Field Goal, Raiders punt, CJ breaks one for 6….jano kicks a field goal, Tenn scores a TD, Jano wins it with a FG

Last time I saw raider v tenn
was the afc championship game. Happened upon Metallica playing a concert while we were tailgating. Had awesome seats. A titan spiked the ball after a td ( i think drew bennet) and it bounced into the stands. We made the guy throw it back, he didnt want too but had no choice. Layed a parlay on raiders and the over that covered my expenses for the day. dang it seems like yesterday…..

Raiders
17-13
Raiders defense keys “Bigmouth” Chris Johnson and blankets him with linebackers all day, throw in a sack by a Raider DE, and it is suddenly Raiderball. Jason Campbell has a respectable day, throwing for 230 yards and a pair of TD’s with Seabass kicking a 30 yarder to complete the score.
Raiders by 4
Refuse to tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at death

28-25, Titans.
Look, we haven’t won an opening season game in a very long time. With that being said, it should a high scoring affair.
We have an improved run defense, but Chris Johnson destroys almost every defense.
They have 32nd ranked pass defense, so we should be looking to attack them through the air.
I think it will come down to them controlling the clock, but I think the Raiders will put in an admirable performance.
I disagree.
With that being said, it should a high scoring affair.
The odds are set at 40.5 total points right now. If anything, it should be a low-scoring game.

Disagree with your disagreement. Like Joshsport said, their pass D is weak + our offense is suddenly through the air
CJ can’t be denied 115 – 150 yds given his history and ours vs. good RBs last year and continuing through preseason. It comes down to our LBs not getting to Johnson soon enough for various reasons.
As for the over/under, it’s a rough gauge set by sportsbooks to maximize action and it’s not hard-science, esp. at this point in the season.

Over-under and odds are the same idea
They have nothing to do with what is ‘supposed to happen’, or a prediction; they are set to entice the highest number of bettors for either result.
Failure builds character; success reveals it
I think it will be close, at least for the first half
but our offense has everything to prove and the D can’t save the day, at least not yet.
24-10 Titans
raiders 24, titans 20
Campbell will get a TD, and over 200 yards. Our running game will be over 90 yards.
Young will just get over 150 yards, with maybe 50+ yards rushing. He’ll throw a TD, but he’ll throw also throw 2 INT in this debut.
Chris Johnson will have a great day on us, getting over 110 yards, with a touchdown, but the raiders D will keep the running game SLIGHTLY honest in the red zone, and only will have them get field goals.
We win by getting a late game INT. :)
I’ll take 11 players with heart on the field over 11 guys with just talent. Talent is fleeting, it goes away over time. Heart is what drives you to be better. To push yourself beyond what you think your capabilities are. To show us that when you strive, all things are possible.- SMP

they may get 3 field goals, and 2 TDs.

34-32 Tightones over Raiders
VY leaves the game after Lamarrthesh*toutyourface Houston takes his head and uses it to play a quick game of hackysack.
CJ meets CJ. Everyone gets confused, and suddenly we have a 2000 yard CB, and their RB gets torched on a lot of pass plays.
Routt finally admits he sold his soul to the devil (Al Davis) to suddenly realize that he can play.
Erik Pears gets on the wrong plane, somehow ends up in Tijuana, and no one cares.
John Marshall decides, maybe this one time, he should actually coach the defense. Why is this guy still here? Surely we could have found someone else, say an operator of a wayward hotel in some state no one cares about?
I was hoping for a season opening victory, but I’ll settle for a war with people bleeding and the battery on the stretcher cart getting drained from overuse.
"God will understand. And if he does not understand, then he is not God, and we need not worry." -Orlando Bloom, Kingdom of Heaven
I'm now in the over camp too - we should be scoring and CJ will do at least as well as Gore and Forte - but have it in the
high 40’s, maybe 51 – while you’ve got it 66 which indicates your faith in our passing attack and lack of faith in our run D.
Now we see what Hugh can do with DMC, and what Marshall can do with his versatile 7/8 packages.
