No matter what strength of schedule formulas come up with, the Tennessee Titans have a tough slate of games in 2020.
Tennessee will have six games against five different 2019 playoff teams, and five more games against four teams who I consider to be on the rise and potential playoff teams in 2020.
That’s no easy task.
Touchdown Wire’s Barry Werner recently predicted when each NFL team will lose it’s first game of the 2020 campaign, and he believes the Titans’ first loss will be in the Week 3 road game against the Minnesota Vikings.
“Mike Vrabel’s Titans will win their first two before losing at Minnesota in Week 3,” Farrar wrote.
That would mean the Titans nab two wins to start the season, one against the Denver Broncos on the road in Week 1, and the other against the Jacksonville Jaguars at home in Week 2.
That’s better than what I recently predicted, as I have the Titans suffering their first loss in Denver in Week 1, which is historically a very difficult place to win in the first two weeks of the regular season.
On the bright side, I do have the Titans ultimately going 10-6 and winning the AFC South.
The Week 3 contest against the Vikings will have a little extra juice, as former Titans fifth-round pick and wide receiver, Tajae Sharpe, signed with Minnesota this offseason. He’d certainly be happy with the result Werner has forecasted.
