Vaughn's last-second field goal lifts Titans over Raiders
Football Betting Lines
08/15/2008 -
Nashville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - John Vaughn kicked a 33-yard field goal as
time expired, giving the Tennessee Titans a 17-16 victory over the Oakland Raiders in preseason action.
Vince Young struggled to get the Titans (2-0) down the field, completing only
four of 13 passes for 37 yards. Kerry Collins went 4-for-15 passing for
109 yards and a touchdown.
Lavelle Hawkins caught a long touchdown pass from Collins, finishing the day
with 70 yards on two catches. Rookie Chris Johnson rushed for 46 yards on
eight attempts.
JaMarcus Russell had a solid outing, throwing 10-for-17 for 75 yards and a
touchdown for Oakland (1-1). Andrew Walter finished the game going 7-of-11 for
85 yards passing.
Adimchinobe Echemandu led the Raiders with 77 yards rushing on three attempts,
and Zach Miller led the team in receiving with 48 yards and a touchdown on
four receptions.
Ingle Martin led the Titans down the field to the game-winning score as time
expired. Starting the drive from his own 15 with two minutes to go, Martin
completed passes on third-and-15 and third-and-17, both for first downs, to
keep the drive alive. A 26-yard completion to Chris Davis brought the ball to
the Oakland 15-yard-line with three seconds left, and Martin spiked the ball.
That set up the game-winning field goal from 33 yards out, which Vaughn hit to
seal the game.
Oakland got the scoring started in the second quarter. Russell completed a
six-play, 61-yard drive by finding Miller in the end zone for a 10-yard
touchdown, giving the team an early 7-0 lead.
The Titans defense tied the score, as Ahmard Hall recovered a fumble in the
end zone to knot things up at seven.
Aaron Elling added a 56-yard field goal as the first half expired to put the
Raiders up 10-7 at halftime.
Tennessee took its first lead in the game to start off the second half.
Hawkins caught a 51-yard strike from Collins to cap off a five-play, 72-yard
drive, making the score 14-10 in favor of the home team.
Two Elling field goals in the fourth -- 27- and 45-yarders -- put Oakland up
16-14.

Michael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football.
As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL.
Bet 2010 Super Bowl Odds
The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago.
Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996).
But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side.
Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show.
Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East:
Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1
Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2
New York Giants - 9 - 2
Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1).
Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship.
So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume.
And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top.
They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy.
Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday.
But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division.
Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS.
Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS.
Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162.
Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense?
Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS.
In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS.
Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division.
Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do.
The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20.
The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.
