What Las Vegas told us about the Tennessee Titans
By Will Lomas
Las Vegas shockingly low on Tennessee Titans.
Vegas came out with their playoffs odds and the Tennessee Titans are much lower than I expected.
Here are the tiers as I see them based off the odds listed here by OddsShark:
The favorites:
| New England Patriots | -1500 |
Pittsburgh Steelers
-550
Minnesota Vikings
-260
Philadelphia Eagles-260
Green Bay Packers
-170
L.A. Rams
-170
L.A. Chargers
-145
Jacksonville Jaguars
-140
Houston Texans
-135
New Orleans
-130
So somehow, the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars are ahead of the Tennessee Titans in the AFC South.

I can understand the hype on Jacksonville a little bit (forgetting for a second that they did get swept by the Titans) but the Jaguars have to face a 1st place schedule with Blake Bortles at QB and they are worse at wide receiver with virtually no upgrades this offseason.
The Texans make absolutely no sense to be ahead of the Titans though. Deshaun Watson had a great flash, but he now is behind an offensive line that may be the worst in the NFL.
Can he repeat the success he had with a worse team in front of him and no real additions? I just don’t see it. Keep in mind, he is coming off of a serious knee injury and it will be the 2nd time in 4 years that he has been knocked out for the season with a knee injury.
I just don’t know how Vegas can put that much faith in that team.

The potential sneak ins:
| Atlanta Falcons | +115 |
Kansas City Chiefs
+120
Carolina Panthers
+130
Baltimore Ravens
+135
San Francisco 49ers
+135
Dallas Cowboys
+145
Oakland Raiders
+165
Tennessee Titans
+165
So these 8 teams are the teams that Vegas thinks can sneak into the playoffs, but they are on the outside looking in. Despite only a handful of teams having more wins than the Titans in the last two years, Tennessee is on that list.
I don’t see this at all, the Titans improved on every level of the defense while also improving at HC, OC and DC. Throw in someone like Dion Lewis is has the potential to be a surprise star on this team and I can’t figure out how the Titans would be the 3rd most likely team to make the playoffs in their own division.
The teams that should maybe start looking ahead to the draft
| Seattle Seahawks | 220 |
Detroit Lions
260
Denver Broncos
275
Indianapolis Colts
325
New York Giants
325
Washington Redskins
375
Chicago Bears
400
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
425
Buffalo Bills
450
Cincinnati Bengals
450
Cleveland Browns
600
Miami Dolphins
600
New York Jets
600
Arizona Cardinals
800
I won’t talk too much about this group, I just wanted to round out the list so you could see where every NFL team stood.
