10* NFL GAME OF THE MONTH
(NFL) Tennessee vs. Oakland,
Point Spread: -1.00 | -119.00 Tennessee (Away)
Result: Win
The Titans have messed up their 3-1 start by losing five of their last six games. That puts them in must-win territory at 4-6, especially since this marks the beginning of a three game road trip. Following this matchup, the Titans play at Indianapolis and Denver. They won't be favored in those games. So this becomes Tennessee's key MUST WIN game. It's certainly winnable. Oakland's Rookie QB Matt McGloin became Oakland's 15th starting quarterback since 2005 and led the Raiders to a surprising Road win against Houston this past Sunday. The last time Oakland strung consecutive Wins was Games 6 and 7 – of last season. The Titans have film now on McGloin and most of his passes were quick slants and screens last week and the Titans defense will take them away. Veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick has replaced injured Jake Locker as Tennessee's starting quarterback. The Titans have produced 27 points in each of Fitzpatrick's last two starts. Tennessee should win the battle of the trenches with a much stronger offensive Line. The Titans also have the most dangerous skill position weapon with Chris Johnson. Look for the Titans to win by double digits here on Sunday.
