Pick
I’m sticking with Oakland in this one. I get why the Titans are favored at home and Oakland hasn’t been the most reliable road cover team, but they have won three straight conference road games and covered and won both outright in the underdog role. Detroit’s only losses have come against the top-end teams of the Horizon, but Oakland’s had their number in recent years and I think Oakland could get another one here but I’m going to take Oakland and the points here.
