Week 6: Raiders vs. Titans Preview Highlights Turnovers, Rookie Momentum and a Betting Line Shift

The betting market has tilted toward Tennessee after its late comeback in Arizona.

Overview

  • Tennessee (1-4) visits Las Vegas (1-4) on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. EDT on FOX as the Raiders try to halt a four-game slide.
  • Geno Smith leads the NFL with nine interceptions for a Raiders offense that ranks 30th in scoring, a key factor in Las Vegas’ minus-6 turnover differential.
  • No. 1 pick Cam Ward seeks a second straight win after throwing 193 fourth-quarter yards in Week 5, though he has taken an NFL-high 19 sacks and RT JC Latham is questionable after a hip injury.
  • Las Vegas ruled TE Brock Bowers out with a knee injury, while Tennessee listed K Joey Slye out and turned to Matthew Wright, with DT Jeffery Simmons off the injury report and expected to anchor the defense.
  • Matchup keys include Raiders rookie RB Ashton Jeanty against a Titans run defense allowing 146.8 yards per game and Maxx Crosby’s pressure off the edge, as sharp money moved the line from Raiders -6.5 to about -4/-4.5.
