Predicting the rest of the 2016 NFL season
The end of the 2016 NFL season is within sight. With just six more games left on the schedule, the Tennessee Titans have a lot of questions still up in the air.
So, I went through the painstaking task of going through and predicting winners for every game for the rest of the season. Now, I know that I am probably right and there is very little chance that the actual NFL season will deviate from my predictions.
Still, I would say to take some of this with a grain of salt. The reason we as fans love the NFL as much as we do, is because it is unpredictable. With parity at an all time high, no one really knows what comes next. However, these are the answers to some of the questions I thought would be important.
If you don’t care anything about these questions, skip to the bottom where I have all of the records written out.
Can the Houston Texans beat the .500 mark?
To do that, they would have to end up not losing 5 of their last 7 games, and I just can’t see that happening.
Can the Tennessee Titans get into the playoffs?
Even giving the Titans two losses (one to KC and the other to DEN) they still can end up winning 4 games before the end of the year.
Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Chicago, and Houston should all be win based on the last five weeks of play, and that would give them a 9-7 record.

Where would they pick in the draft?
Well, with the Titans making the playoffs in this simulation I can’t really say where their pick would be. However, I don’t see anything to be positive about for the L.A. Rams.
In my simulation they ended up picking sixth which could be great for the Titans.
On one hand, if an elite player drops to 6 then they can grab him. If not, that may be a prime trade back candidate for someone wanting a QB, Jonathan Allen, Leonard Fournette, Jabrill Peppers, or Cam Robinson (if someone doesn’t know how to evaluate offensive tackles).
If they trade back they can add more picks and take advantage of a deep CB and ILB class.
