Are the Tennessee Titans a playoff team? Ask 100 NFL fans that question and you’ll probably receive 50 yes’s and 50 no’s.
If you’ve watched the Titans this season, you know this team is unpredictable. They lost to the Bills. They dominated the Patriots. Who knows whether the Titans are actually good?
The Titans have surged late in the season, winning three in a row. But Tennessee has played weak opponents (the Jets, Jaguars, and Giants).
Tennessee has ridden Derrick Henry of late and the Alabama product has scored seven touchdowns in his last three games. Two weeks ago, he went off for 238 yards and four touchdowns against Jacksonville, delighting fantasy owners.
Playoff Possibilities?
The NFL playoff picture in the AFC is complicated. Right now, the Titans are on the outside looking in.
Baltimore (8-6) currently holds the last berth. Next up is Indianapolis (also 8-6). And then there’s Tennessee, which has the same record, but is last in terms of tiebreakers.
The only teams that have locked up a spot in the AFC are the Chiefs (11-3) and Chargers (also 11-3). It seems likely that the Texans (10-4) and Patriots (9-5) will also get in. After that, things get wild. The Steelers hold the fourth seed, but they’re only a half game above the pack at 8-5-1. Miami (7-7) is also in the mix.
Though the Ravens hold the final spot right now, it could all come down to a week 17 matchup between Indy and Tennessee.
