AFC South

Houston Texans 8-5

The Texans pulled a Texans again losing a trap game to the Broncos and now they could be in trouble. The Titans are red hot and Houston has to travel to Nashville to face them this weekend. If Houston loses, Tennessee has the inside track to the AFC South.

Remaining Schedule: @Titans, @Bucs, Titans

Tennessee Titans 8-5

There’s a lot of hype behind the Titans right now. Their defense is playing well. Ryan Tannehill’s advanced stats are other-worldly. Now they enter the tough part of their schedule. They’ve won seven straight but it has been against the likes of the Jaguars, Colts, Bucs, Panthers, Chargers, and Raiders. There’s only one playoff team in their seven-game streak and that’s the Chiefs game — and that game was real fluky. Let’s not crown them yet. if they win two out of their next three we may be able to crown them AFC South Champions.

Remaining Schedule:  Texans, Saints @Texans
