NFL Week 15, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider
By Dan Parzych
1. Titans beat Texans, take over first place in AFC South
Similar to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Tennessee Titans were another team written off by many in October after Mike Vrabel’s squad lost four of their first six games to star the year.
Even when the Titans decided to switch things up by going with Ryan Tannehill over Marcus Mariota, this was a team that seemed to be heading towards finishing near the bottom of the league in 2019.
As football fans now know, this was far from the case, as Tennessee has found a way to become one of the hottest teams in football over the last two months by winning six of their last eight games.
All of a sudden, the Titans aren’t just in great position to earn a playoff spot within the AFC, but the team could officially move into first place on Sunday if they find a way to defeat the Houston Texans, who are coming off a brutal loss in Week 14 to the Denver Broncos.
From an experience perspective, the Texans may seem worthy of being the favorites in this one, but the Titans just seem like too hot of a team to miss out on this golden opportunity.

Since Tennessee didn’t seem like a team that would be in this position a few weeks ago, expect them to take full advantage in Week 15 by handing their rivals another loss.
