Two games left, obviously the Titans need to win both. But this is how it breaks down the rest of the way.
The Titans only can go so far with tie-breakers... the first one: head-to-head. The second wild-card tie-breaker is conference record. There is NO WAY the Titans win that against anyone. (Except maybe Houston as the season plays out.)
Who to root for in Week 16:
Ten v SD -- Ten (if this doesn't happen, don't worry about the weekend or the next)
Jax v NE -- NE (not too important)
Bal v Pit -- Bal (this game is tied to the Den/Phi game)
Den v Phi -- Phi (see above)
NYJ V Ind -- Ind (just to put the Jets out of their misery, and one less team for us to worry about)
Titans own the head-to-head vs Miami, so we aren't concerned with them winning out.
That leaves Pit, Balt, Den, NYJ, Hou, and Jax.
The key to the Titans making the playoffs is for either Balt or Den to stumble down the stretch (both would make things easier). Balt plays vs Pit and Oak. Den plays against Phi and KC.
After that, Pit, Jax, Hou and NYJ need to lose at least one each. Pit plays Bal & Mia, so at least one loss is doable. Jax plays NE & Cle... again, NE can win that game. Houston is behind the Titans in the division, but need to lose at least one of their two games (both in-conference vs Mia & NE). The Jets play Ind & Cin... either of which could put them down for the count.
