Last week: 22 (+6)
Record: 3-4
If the Titans beat the Colts in Tennessee this week, the Titans will be 4-4 in the crappy AFC and then anything can happen. Given that I picked them to make the playoffs before the season, I obviously would like to see that happen, but I don’t think it will. I picked them to do so because of a strong defense and an improved offense with Jake Locker. Well, their defense is the league’s worst allowing 34 points per game. I’m still baffled how they went from 8th in the league last year to dead last, but they can’t make the playoffs if they can’t get their defense somehow turned around. Despite their record, they are -89 in points differential, worst in the league. All 3 of their wins have come by 3 or fewer, while their 4 losses were by a combined 96 points, with each one coming by at least 21 points.
