It’s here. You can officially start predicting wins and losses based off the Titans 2017 schedule. The Titans will open at home for the 2nd straight season with the Oakland Raiders. It’s a matchup of two young quarterbacks coming off of brutal injuries late in 2016.
The big news of the night? The Titans return to Monday Night Football in week six. The Indianapolis Colts will be the opponent in Nashville. The Titans will travel to Pittsburgh on a Thursday night in November for their 2nd primetime date.

Schedule Highlights
The Baltimore Ravens return to Nashville for the first time since 2011, renewing an early 2000s rivalry. Those games were flat out nasty. 2017’s version might not be quite as meaningful (we hope it will be), but it will still bring back plenty of old memories.
The Raiders return to Nashville for the 3rd straight season. They’ll provide a tough test for the Titans out of the gate. Maybe, just maybe the Titans can get over the hump this year. The last two games haven’t gone the way of the Titans as they found ways to lose both. Oakland will no doubt be one of the trendy picks to dethrone the New England Patriots in 2017.
Seattle will make a rare trip down south, visiting Nashville in the regular season for the first time since 2005. The Titans get a break here, catching the Seahawks out of Seattle -- where they are considerably less effective.
Trips to Arizona, Pittsburgh and San Fransisco highlight the Titans road schedule.
