Titans Projected Win Total and Odds:
The Titans really captured lightning in a bottle last season and I can understand the temptation to believe it felt like a fluke in hindsight. However, good defense and a formidable running game will carry you very far in the NFL, whether it's 2020 or 1960. Getting to nine wins shouldn't be an issue, especially with the benefit of playing games against the AFC South and NFC North. Their schedule, on paper, ranks as the fourth-easiest based on strength of schedule.
The Play: 8.5 wins OVER (-130)
