The Tennessee Titans go into Sundays matchup against the New Orleans Saints knowing that the AFC South crown is officially out of reach following the Texans’ win over Tampa Bay.

However, The Titans are still very much alive for the final AFC Wild Card spot with two games remaining.

The fact that the Saints are an NFC opponent ultimately helps the titans in the sense that a loss won’t hurt their conference record. Nonetheless, Tennessee should try to avoid losing two straight and try to build some type of momentum going into their crucial Week 17 matchup with the Texans.

Behind the right arm of Ryan Tannehill, I believe the Titans will surprise many by playing much better than many expect them to.

Regardless if Henry is given a rest day for that hamstring in preparation for a crucial Week 17, I expect A.J. Brown and the passing attack to put on a show as the Titans squeak out a win in a shoot out.

Prediction, Tennessee wins: Titans 32 Saints 28
