15. Tennessee Titans (15)

No team in the NFL is harder to figure out than the Tennessee Titans. They’re entering Week 11 on a bye and are somehow 5-5 despite the fact that they’ve lost to a couple of teams with losing records such as the Jacksonville Jaguars and Denver Broncos. Yet, they’ve found a way to knock off the high-flying Chiefs as they beat them 35-32 in Week 10.

That win made it to where they have won three of their last four games, which is the polar opposite of where they were earlier in the season. After a Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns, Tennessee had dropped four of five games, with their only win coming in Week 4 against the lowly Atlanta Falcons.

The change came when head coach Mike Vrabel finally had enough of the inconsistent play of Marcus Mariota. The former No. 2 overall pick has been up and down for years and was replaced with Ryan Tannehill. The former Miami Dolphins starter isn’t a huge upgrade but you know what you’re going to get from him, which makes game planning much easier.

Following their week off, the Titans play Jacksonville and Indianapolis. Those two games will be huge as wins could put them back in the AFC South mix.
