With the Tennessee Titans showing what their identity may be through three weeks of the season, I thought it would be an interesting exercise to figure out where I believe their schedule is headed.

Given the news that J.J. Watt is out, and that the other two teams in the division are a combined 1-5, the Tennessee Titans still have a great chance to be competitive in this division if they can get their act together.
Let’s see just where they should go from here.
Week 4 @ Houston- Win
I think this could be a great week for the Titans. If they can get some confidence built up knowing that the other team is without their best player, they may have some momentum built already heading into Sunday.
The New England Patriots showed that the Texans offense can be stopped fairly easily using some Cover 2 and mixing up things inside the tackle box. So, if Dick LeBeau can hold this team to his usual standard, then the Titans may be able to squeak by.
Week 5 @ Miami Dolphins- Win
I think this is a game that the Titans really get up for. With the Dolphins likely falling to 1-3 after Thursday night the Titans could attempt their first winning streak in the last few years. Miami’s defense is not exceptionally good, and they are deficient where the Titans need them to be.

Week 6 @ Cleveland- Win
I just think the Titans are better than the Browns, nothing exceptionally important here. It is just one of the few times the Titans will be better than the team they face.
Week 7 vs Indianapolis- Loss
The Titans are better than the Colts as a team, but I think Luck will lead a comeback win in a close scoring game. The Titans lose at home, it is just what they do.
Week 8 vs Jacksonville- Win
Except against Jacksonville, they do win against Jacksonville at home. If an old Baltimore Ravens defense gave him trouble at home, Dick Lebeau should be able to cause him fits.
Week 9 @ San Diego- Loss
This Chargers team looks well coached and explosive on offense. I don’t think the Titans will be able to hang with them especially on a cross country trip in the afternoon.
Week 10 vs Green Bay- Loss
The Titans could do some good things if Aaron Rodgers regresses to what he was early in the season, but the Titans can’t hang with great teams in the middle of the year.
Week 11 @ Indianapolis- Win
Do I trust the Titans to beat Andrew Luck at home? Nope. Do I trust them to win on the road? Hmm…I also think that their already thin defense is just going to get thinner and I have to believe that this offense will find their stride at some point right?
Week 12 @ Chicago- Win
I think Alshon Jeffery will be hurt or at least “hurt” at this point, given that the team really didn’t want to sign him to an extension this offseason and that he is on a franchise tag deal.
He is their only blue chip player and the Titans should be able to run on that defensive front.
Week 14 vs Denver- Loss
Denver may win the whole thing again this year and that defense is not going to give the Titans any room to breathe.
Week 15 @ Kansas City- Loss
Again, another very talented defense. At this point I expect the explosive Jamaal Charles to be back, and I don’t see the LBs or DBs that can stop him when he gets to the second level.

Week 16 @ Jacksonville- Loss
The Titans haven’t played well in Jacksonville over the past decade (or that’s what it feels like) and I don’t expect this coaching staff to change that.
Week 17 vs Houston- Loss
We are at home, in a game we will probably need. I will never expect a win in those situations until I see one happen.
Final record: 7-9
That seems fair right? The Titans sit with a 7-5 record in control of the division and then look terrible to finish the year and this coaching staff gets fired for not getting the job done?
I think a 7-9 win team is probably not equal to the talent on this roster, but I think it is above and beyond what the coaches have shown to this point (this line exclude Dick LeBeau and Russ Grimm). They more than double their wins from last year and if we are being honest, that is the record that conservative fans hoped for to start the year.
