Remember NFL Network’s Adam Rank? Of course you do — he was the whipping boy of the Tennessee Titans’ fan base during the team’s 2019 postseason run.
Rank originally predicted that the Titans would go 3-13 last season — but not only did the Titans beat the mark and make the playoffs, they also made an improbable run to the AFC Championship Game.
In case you forgot (you didn’t).

The picture of Rank next to the big screen featuring his 3-13 Titans prediction will live on forever.
Well, Mr. Rank is back at it again in 2020, but this time he’s taking a bit more realistic approach and is giving the Titans more credit than he did in 2019. Still, if Rank’s prediction plays out, Titans fans won’t like it.
Rank says the Titans will finish at 8-8, place second in the AFC South, and miss the playoffs. You can watch the video of his prediction here.
He has the Titans beating the Jaguars (once), Texans (twice), Bengals, Bears, Colts (once), Browns and Lions, and the losses coming against the Broncos, Vikings, Steelers, Bills, Ravens, Colts, Jags and Packers.
The Titans weren’t the only team Rank whiffed on big time in 2019. He also predicted the San Francisco 49ers would go 3-13 before they ended up in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs.
