WG53 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Seems pretty accurate except we lose at home to the Colts but beat them on the road? It has been a long time since we had any home field advantage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scine09 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Way to go out on a limb there Scine. Yeah I knew when I posted that someone would comment on that. I'm picking 11-5 and I know I'm way too optimistic. But I can't go into a season thinking that they're gonna suck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WG53 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I expect them to be more competitive than last year but that does not equate to winning that much more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I expect them to be more competitive than last year but that does not equate to winning that much more. I think it really comes down to the first half. If we can hit the bye week at 3-4, then we have a chance to be above .500 and maybe sneak into the playoffs. If we go 2-5, then I'm thinking full on train wreck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I'm not predicting until I watch the team in preseason But.... I heard a sports guy from Vegas specifically talk about the Titans the other day. He said the over/under on wins was 6.5 and most of the action was on the under. He said if you bet 100.00 on the over and they win 7 games you'll win 220.00. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakingeek Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Key must win games to make the playoffs are SF, Houston, Pittsburgh, Jets, SD and Colts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TampaTitan Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Week 1 will go a long way in steering this team in the direction it will eventually go over the following 15 games imo. Regardless of their injuries and roster uncertainty, beating Pittsburgh in their house on opening day is a tall task for any team. I also don't think any team should have to make 2 road trips to open the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Did Cyrus really just say this? "A few weeks ago I would doubt this possibility, but with Locker having back-to-back-to-back good practices I think it's possible." @oldschool Was always hopeful for better results, but I was expecting an 8-8 season or maybe 9-7 with no playoffs. I've always been a big Locker advocate well before he was a Titan and I hope he proves me right, but even I know that he has a lot of ground to make up in year 3.

OILERMAN Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 The way the league works now all that matters is keeping close enough to try and make the playoffs at the end, once in you can go on your run. The last several teams the pattern is teams squeak in and get hot and win it all. The Ravens barely made the playoffs, the Giants qualified in the final week, the Steelers, GB went 9-7 and barely made it etc..... There are no must wins early in the season. You just stay in contention until the last few weeks and the SB trophy is anyones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just stay in contention until the last few weeks and the SB trophy is anyones. Injuries and depth are everything. That's why I mentioned the loss of guys like Koppen, Harvin, Pita, etc. It's impossible to know what players teams are going to field even a month for now, much less 5 months from now.

titanruss Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 i think we are a 9 win team pretty easy... and that is with only winning the games we *should win. The only assured losses are Denver and SanFran. Pitt, St loius, Seattle can go either way so i just put "L" for continuity with my original premise. W @ Houston, week 17 assumes they are already in the playoffs. At Pittsburgh-L At Houston-L San Diego-W NY Jets-W Kansas City-W At Seattle-L San Francisco-L Bye At St. Louis-L Jacksonville-W Indianapolis-W At Oakland-W At Indianapolis-L At Denver-L Arizona-W At Jacksonville-W Houston-W Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bookie said the question with the Titans is the QB. I think they have underrated the Titans, but eight wins will be outstanding for this team.
