Overview

  • Las Vegas is a 4.5-point favorite at BetMGM for Sunday at Allegiant Stadium, and aggregated expert picks trend toward the Raiders despite both teams entering 1-4.
  • Titans rookie Cam Ward is coming off a 22-21 rally with 193 fourth-quarter passing yards and now seeks the franchise’s first back-to-back wins since 2022.
  • Geno Smith leads the NFL with nine interceptions, contributing to a minus-6 Raiders turnover differential as Pete Carroll continues to back the veteran starter.
  • Tennessee right tackle JC Latham returned to practice after a hip issue and could face Maxx Crosby, whose pressure and tackles for loss headline a matchup versus a line that surrendered 19 sacks in the first four games.
  • Rookie Ashton Jeanty has 349 rushing yards and rising usage, drawing a favorable matchup against a Titans run defense ranked near the bottom of the league.
