Predicting Every Game On Titans Schedule

In this story:
The NFL schedule has been released and we now know what the Tennessee Titans' first campaign of the Cam Ward era will look like.
Week 1: at Denver Broncos
The Broncos boast one of the best defenses in the NFL. A trip out west to start his career won't be an easy trip for Ward.
Final Prediction: Broncos 24, Titans 13
Week 2: vs. Los Angeles Rams
The Rams are my pick to come out of the NFC and go to the Super Bowl - this isn't going to be a win for Tennessee's defense against an explosive Rams offense.
Final Prediction: Rams 30, Titans 20
Week 3: vs. Indianapolis Colts
The Colts have one of the oddest quarterback situations in the league and it's hard to see a path for them to get high-quality play out of either Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones. The Titans get their first win.
Final Prediction: Titans 24, Colts 16
Week 4: at Houston Texans
Even with their questionable offensive line, it would be hard for the Texans' front to be worse than 2024. They have a great defense and a great quarterback - this won't be an easy outing.
Final Prediction: Texans 27, Titans 10
Week 5: at Arizona Cardinals
Arizona won eight games a year ago and their defense got better. This will be a tight one, but the Cardinals eek it out.
Final Prediction: Cardinals 23, Titans 21
Week 6: at Las Vegas Raiders
Many believe the Raiders could be a playoff team in 2024, but I'll take Tennessee to pull off the upset against a defense that still has questions outside of Maxx Crosby.
Final Prediction: Titans 27, Raiders 23
Week 7: vs. New England Patriots
New England is a team that I believe will take a leap in 2025 and earn a Wild Card berth. They defeat Tennessee.
Final Prediction: Patriots 24, Titans 16
Week 8: at Indianapolis Colts
I don't see the Titans sweeping the Colts, as they are in similar boats.
Final Prediction: Colts 23, Titans 20
Week 9: vs. Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers will travel more than any team in 2025, which may cause them to drop a game that they shouldn't. The last time the Chargers played in Tennessee, the Titans won in overtime.
Final Prediction: Titans 22, Chargers 19
Week 10: BYE
Week 11: vs. Houston Texans
The two teams are pretty evenly matched over their last seven games, with the Texans having the edge 4-3. The Titans get a mid-season win at home.
Final Prediction: Titans 23, Texans 20
Week 12: vs. Seattle Seahawks
I don't see the vision with the Seahawks. They traded Geno Smith, but signed Sam Darnold to a big deal and then traded away his best receiver. They don't move me - Titans win.
Final Prediction: Titans 21, Seahawks 18
Week 13: vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars will be in the playoff hunt and much better than what we saw last season, which is bad news for Tennessee.
Final Prediction: Jaguars 31, Titans 21
Week 14: at Cleveland Browns
This could very well be Cam Ward vs. Shedeur Sanders. And while Ward will likely have the better season, a late-year trip to Cleveland will bring less-than-ideal weather conditions.
Final Prediction: Browns 16, Titans 13
Week 15: at San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco should bounce back after a rough 2024 that saw them win just six games., especially with a healthy Christian McCaffrey.
Final Prediction: 49ers 28, Titans 17
Week 16: vs. Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs will be in playoff mode by this point, which isn't a great thing for the Titans.
Final Prediction: Chiefs 24, Titans 13
Week 17: vs. New Orleans Saints
The Saints have the worst roster in football and potentially the worst head coach, as well. The Titans will win.
Final Prediction: Titans 27, Saints 16
Week 18: at Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars will likely need a win and some help to get into the playoffs. The Titans played spoiler to Jacksonville back in 2023, but won't do so again in 2025.
Final Prediction: Jaguars 25, Titans 18
Final Record Prediction: 6-11
