It's officially Week 1 for the 2017 NFL season, and many of the teams will be in action on Sunday, September 10th. Among the teams competing in early afternoon games will be Derek Carr and the Oakland Raiders vs. Marcus Mariota and the Tennessee Titans. Both teams' fan bases are expecting great things from them in the coming season, so this opening game could be a good measuring stick. Will it be Oakland or Tennessee starting things off on the right foot? Here's the latest Raiders vs. Titans game information including matchup odds, start time, TV channel, and live streaming options.
NFL game preview
The Tennessee Titans are hoping for a successful season behind their star quarterback Marcus Mariota. The Titans were among playoff contenders during the regular season but saw their dreams crushed by the Jacksonville Jaguars. During that same game, Marcus Mariota suffered a fracture of his fibula. He's steadily improved over the past two seasons, going from a 3-9 record in 2015 to an 8-7 mark last year. Mariota also threw 26 touchdowns which was seven more than his previous season and improved his passer rating. What will the latest season hold for this top talent? Could it be a trip to the playoffs for him and the Titans?
On the opposing side, the Oakland Raiders have one of the most talented young quarterbacks and one who is highly-paid.
Derek Carr and the Oakland Raiders made it into the playoffs last season but failed to get quite as far as their fans would have liked. Carr got hurt ahead of the playoffs in a regular season game against Indianapolis, ending his season with a broken leg. The team reached the postseason but were under the guidance of third-string QB Connor Cook and lost in the wild card round to the Houston Texans.
Now they'll have Carr back on the field and will look towards a more successful 2017 NFL campaign.
The home team Tennessee Titans will be 2.5-point favorites for Sunday's game, with a moneyline price of -150. The visiting Oakland Raiders are priced at +130 as the underdogs, while the over/under points total is 50.5 points for the game.
