Somewhat surprisingly, the Oakland Raiders held Marcus Mariota and the Tennessee Titans to only 16 points last week despite the Titans posting 350 yards in total offense. While the Raiders had just one sack and didn't force any turnovers, they should find the sledding a bit easier in Week 2 when they host Josh McCown and the New York Jets.

The Jets were one of our teams to target last week, and that will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future. They're coming off a 21-12 loss against the Buffalo Bills, a defense who just posted a top-12 finish in Week 1 and forced two interceptions from McCown while also collecting one sack.

With a -13.5 spread, the Raiders are currently the biggest favorites on the slate, with the Jets' implied team total of 15.00 being among the lowest.

With Oakland expected to play this game with a lead, look for the defense to find plenty of opportunities for sacks and interceptions against McCown. If the Ravens are not available, the Raiders are another great option.
