Raiders vs Titans Expert Picks & Predictions for Week 3 NFL Game

The 2022 NFL season is finally here and the Week 3 schedule is chock full of exciting showdowns. One of the most anticipated matchups of the week is a tilt between the Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee Titans.

Both teams are 0-2 to start the new campaign. The Raiders came up short with a 29-23 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2, while the Titans were absolutely destroyed, 41-7, by the Buffalo Bills.

This is a make-or-break game for the two AFC foes. Going 0-3 will make qualifying for the postseason even tougher, meaning neither group can afford a lackluster effort on Sunday.

Here's what projection models and experts across the industry have to say about the Raiders vs Titans Week 3 matchup.
