Schedule Prediction: Weeks 5-8

What will the titans do during these second four games of the season?

How will the Titans do in the second quarter of the season?

            Quick Recap: At this point in the season, I have the Titans at 3-1 through the first quarter of the season. I also said that we would start the season 3-0 for the first time since 2008.

            This next quarter of the season will be crucial for the Titans. We have a three game home stand during this time. It will help us find our home field advantage that we have been missing for the past few years.

Week 5

Current Record: 3-1

Opponent: Miami Dolphins

Date: 10-9-16 12:00 P.M. *

Location: Sun Life Stadium, Miami, FL

Pick: Dolphins win 14-10

Reasoning:

            This wasn’t an easy pick at all, but it was a pick I had to make. The Titans and Dolphins are going to be a very similar team this season. I gave this game to the Dolphins because of the location. If this game was in Nashville, I think the Titans would win it. It will be a close game, and the defense will start to come together really well, but that won’t be enough to get us through this game.

Week 6

Current Record: 3-2

Opponent: Cleveland Browns

Date: 10-16-16 12:00 P.M. *

Location: Nissan Stadium, Nashville, TN

Pick: Titans win 38-9

Reasoning:

            I have the Titans winning by their widest margin this season. Let’s face it, the Browns aren’t that good of a team. With the acquisition of Robert Griffin III, I still feel that the Browns will still be a 2-14 to 5-11 team. Marcus Mariota finds his groove and has one his best games of his season, and the defense will give one of their greatest games in years, only allowing three field goals.

Week 7

Current Record: 4-2

Opponent: Indianapolis Colts

Date and Time: 10-23-16 12:00 P.M. *

Location: Nissan Stadium, Nashville, TN

Pick: Titans…Win!!! 21-17

Reasoning:

            That’s right, I have the Titans beating the Colts for the first time in 9 straight contests dating back to the 2011 season. I do not think the Colts will be a good team this season. I actually have them coming in last place in the division. This will be a great defining win for us, and it will carry us through the rest of the season.

Week 8

Current Record: 5-2

Opponent: Jacksonville Jaguars

Date and Time: 10-27-16 7:25 P.M. (Thursday Night Football)

Location: Nissan Stadium, Nashville, TN

Pick: Titans win 34-17

Reasoning:

            The Jaguars will be a better team than they have been in recent years. I have us winning this game because we have the home field. If we were playing this game in Jacksonville, like last year, I feel that it would have a completely different outcome.

Current Record: 6-2
