Heading into NFL Week 12 action, the Tennessee Titans are set to face off against the Oakland Raiders. What five bold predictions can be made for the game and what should fans be on the lookout for throughout the game?
1. Marcus Mariota Throws for 300 Yards, Three Touchdowns
One of the best rookies of the season has been Titans' rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota. He was selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft and has put up the numbers to prove that the Titans made the right decision. Mariota is going to throw for 300 yards and three touchdowns on the season and will put his team in a position to come up with a big win.
2. Latavius Murray Will Destroy the Titans' Defense
Oakland has seen Latavius Murray break out this season into one of the more talented running backs in the NFL. He still has plenty of talent left to unlock and will show flashes of that talent this week against the Titans. Murray is going to break out with a huge game and will destroy the Tennessee defense.
3. Dorial Green-Beckham Has His Biggest Game of His Rookie Season
Tennessee didn't just get Marcus Mariota in the 2015 NFL Draft, they were also able to pick up Dorial Green-Beckham. Both of these players are capable of being major impact players long-term and the Titans need both of them to work together. Green-Beckham will put up a huge game this week against the Raiders and show the star potential that many saw in him during the draft process.
4. Derek Carr and Amari Cooper Connect for 125 Yards, Two TD's
One of the best up-and-coming duos in the NFL has been Oakland's Derrek Carr and Amari Cooper. They are going to be a big piece long-term for the Raiders and will connect this week for 125 yards and two touchdowns. Tennessee has a fairly weak secondary, which bodes well for Cooper's chances to put up huge numbers against the Titans.
5. Oakland Pulls this Game Out Very Easily
There is no question that the Raiders are a better football team than the Titans. They are going to come out and take control of the game from the beginning and end up with an easy win. Oakland is a much better team than they have been in quite some time and taking care of business against teams they should beat is a must.
