Final Count and Comments
Rob Greenlaw: 12-4, AFC South Champs. The Titans will be the most surprising team in the NFL this year, no one will have seen this coming. Munch leads the "shock the world" campaign and it works. Jake blossoms into a good starting NFL QB starting week one and never looks back. Clearly I'm pretty optimistic, but why not?
Sharona: 10-6, I am hesitatant to predict the win/loss record at this point in the preseason since the Titans are still trying to get healthy and the roster isn't quite set. I am going to assume Colin McCarthy is finally healthy and starting at middle linebacker. I am also going with Alterraun Verner starting at right corner back. I do think the Titans will tweak their roster when the final wave of free agency begins.
Gunnels: 9-7, The Titans are going to surprise many this year, but not to the tune of being world beaters. I believe the defense, while improved, will still continue to be the teams biggest insufficiency. They could slip in at 10-6 with a win against Houston in the final game. I would also like to point out that I'm the only person in the world that has the Titans beating the 49ers. 9-7 will be a great step forward and the coaching staff stays intact next year as they focus on the defense during the next off season.
Superhorn: 7-9, Titans look much improved from last year, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to be a rosy schedule. I think the season could take a grim start with potentially three losses to begin the year. Despite a rough start, the schedule provides the opportunity for this team to be 5-6 or 6-5 heading to Indy and still in control of their destiny. The Titans will be better this year, and I don't expect the blowouts we saw in years past. Still, there are too many unresolved question marks for me to predict a playoff berth.
So what do you say? Leave your official predictions in the comments and we'll see in January who was right.
