Nate Burleson is quickly becoming one of the biggest cheerleaders for the Tennessee Titans.

With the Tennessee Titans on a hot streak and showing out as one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL right now, the team is starting to get a lot of national attention, and one analyst in particular seems to be a huge fan.

That analyst is none other than Good Morning Football’s Nate Burleson. The former NFL wide receiver is as high as anyone on the Titans right now, and he even believes the team could be a dark horse candidate to make a Super Bowl run should they get into the playoffs.

Yahoo.com shared the clip of Burleson professing his excitement for Tennessee.

"“If the Tennessee Titans get in the playoffs, this might be my dark horse to go to the Super Bowl. That’s how excited I am about the Tennessee Titans.”"

Burleson didn’t stop there, though.

He also believes that Tennessee is better than the Houston Texans despite both teams sitting atop the AFC South at 8-5, and when asked who he thinks is the favorite in the division, he went with, you guessed it, the Titans (you can view the clip here).

"“Not only is Derrick Henry, if healthy, can run the ball as good as any running back, but they’re throwing the ball as good as any team in the business. So, I’m going to go with the Titans, man, they’re very opportunistic.”"

Burleson was high on the Texans a few weeks back, but he is now understandably hesitant to back them after they got absolutely crushed by the Denver Broncos in Week 14.

Of course, nothing has been settled yet between these two teams as they prepare for two matchups in the final three weeks of the regular season, the first of which will occur in Week 15 at Nissan Stadium.
