According to strength of schedule, the Titans will have the 2nd easiest slate in the league. They trail only the Texans. Read into that what you will, but remember that the NFL is a very fluid place.

Obviously, the highlight here is the two Monday Night Football appearances. Any game against the Cowboys will have national pull, so that will be a fun one. It’s also pretty cool to see the NFL take an interest in the Texans — Titans rivalry. Deshaun Watson vs. Marcus Mariota could end up being a marquee matchup for the league down the road.

Another thing of note: the Titans finish with four of five at home. What stands out to you?
