5. Tennessee Titans
Fresh off their bye week, the Tennessee Titans are playing with all of the confidence in the world right now after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs two weeks ago to show they can, in fact, compete with the best of teams.

Of course, just because the Titans found a way to defeat the Chiefs doesn’t necessarily guarantee they will earn a trip to the playoffs since Tennessee has been one of the most difficult teams to figure out this season.
One week, the Titans look like legitimate contenders in the AFC, and the next they appear to be a team that seems like they will be watching the playoffs from home.
Depending on which team shows up on Sunday, the Titans will still have their hands full facing a familiar face in the Jacksonville Jaguars, who hope to see Nick Foles earn his first win with the team after returning last weekend for the first time since Week 1.
Technically, the Titans and Jaguars are still both in the playoff hunt, but another loss on Sunday will obviously make that goal more difficult to achieve.
With Tennessee being in better shape than Jacksonville in the win department, the pressure will be on the Titans come Sunday.
