NFL Predictions: AFC South: Tennessee Titans: Overall Record (5-2) / Divisional Record (3-0) / Conference Record (4-1)

Clinching a playoff berth in the AFC South will require Mike Vrabel’s squad to finish strong. Tennessee currently holds a one-game advantage in the divisional rankings – positioning the franchise ahead of its rivals entering week 8. Matchups against the Eagles, Chiefs, and Cowboys will reveal the Titans’ identity. Their offense ranks last in the league in yards per game (285.6)

Dominant outings against divisional opponents will serve as Tennessee’s golden ticket into the playoffs. Two games against Jacksonville and an exhibition meeting with the Texans remain on the Titans’ schedule. If the Titans sweep the Jaguars, their odds of making the playoffs are high.

Team to Watch: Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars are ranked third in the division but could easily catch the Colts in the standings. The Colts are in second place with a (1-3-1) record in the division and Jacksonville is (1-2). Trevor Lawerence continues to show promise and could put an impressive streak of wins together against the Raiders, Lions, and Texans.
