NFL Football Betting Preview - Oakland Raiders at Tennessee Titans

Last week, Tennessee was sloppy and won by two. Oakland also played sloppy but lost by two. The team that learns from Week 7 should get two points in the standings Sunday.

Vince Young is likely to return at quarterback on Sunday for the seven-point favorite Titans (4-2) as they host the Oakland Raiders (2-4). That's good news for Tennessee after Kerry Collins struggled to find the end zone against the Texans. That said, the question in Nashville has to be, can the Titans' defense recover from being picked apart by Sage "Never Been Confused for Tom Brady" Rosenfels?

Last Sunday in Houston, Rosenfels led four fourth-quarter scoring drives as the Texans fought back to take the lead after trailing 32-7 after 45 minutes. The first drive went 70 yards, the second 98, the third 75, the fourth 66. And if you believe what they say, it's not like the Titans took their foot off the gas, either.

"Fourth quarter, everything we had, we threw at them," said Tennessee defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. "Blitz, man, zone, rushing three – we even tried that and we couldn't stop the bleeding. It wasn't like we were sitting there playing one thing or we got away from what we did. We were rolling through our stuff."

Everything they had they threw at Sage Rosenfels? And that's what happened?

Forget that the Raiders are 2-4 and lost to Kansas City 12-10 as a 1.5-point favorite in Week 7; if Rosenfels can do what he did against Tennessee, surely the Raiders can watch some film and keep it to within a touchdown. So far in 2007, the Titans have won just once by more than seven points while the Raiders have lost only twice by the same margin.

Oddsmakers currently have the Titans listed as 7 ½-point favorites versus the Raiders, while the game's total is sitting at 40 ½.
