The Tenne see Titans have a lot of paths to the NFL playoffs in Week 17, both through the AFC South division or with a wild card spot.The Titans travel to Houston to take on the non-playoff Texans. Entering Week 17, Tenne see holds the No. 4 seed in the AFC as the current AFC South leader thanks to a tiebreaker advantage on the Colts. That gives the Titans the leg up to hold the division title with
Dominique Dafney Jersey a win.Tenne see's chances against Houston may be determined by the health status of Deshaun Watson. He injured his throwing hand late in the Texans'
Josh Myers Jersey lo s to the Bengals but returned to the game. Houston doesn't really have incentive to play Watson, so he may be limited at best. If it's A.J. McCarron attempting to keep the Titans out of the playoffs, that probably won't happen.Here are the various ways the Titans can end Week 17 as division champions or a wild card team.AFC South: Titans win or Colts lose to JaguarsThe Titans are in control of their AFC South destiny thanks to a tiebreaker edge on the Colts. A win for Tenne see in Houston would secure the division title for the Titans.Tenne see can also claim the division crown with a lo s coupled with an Indianapolis lo s to the Jaguars, though that seems unlikely given
Henry Black Jersey the Colts have everything to play for and Jacksonville has nothing to play for. If Tenne see and Indy both tie, that's also a division crown for the Titans.Winning the AFC South would lock the Titans in to the No. 4 seed in the AFC. That would mean a home game against the best wild card team in the first round of the postseason, and if Tenne see won that, it'd head to Kansas City
Chauncey Rivers Jersey to play the top-seed Chiefs in the divisional round.Wild Card: Ravens lo s or Dolphins lo sSince the Titans will claim the AFC South title with a win, the only non-tie way Tenne see ends up in the wild card is with a lo s to Houston. In that scenario, though, the Titans can still make the playoffs with a lo s by Baltimore or Miami.The Dolphins play in Buffalo against a Bills team only playing for playoff seeding. Miami gets into the postseason with a win, so that'll certainly be a competitive contest. That's le s true with Baltimore, which also needs a win to secure a playoff berth but plays the non-playoff Bengals in what could be a blowout despite recent Cincinnati wins.The Titans also can't end up in a wild card spot if the Colts lose. So the only way a Ravens lo s or Dolphins lo s matters to Tenne see is if the Titans lose and the Colts win.Tenne see also ensures a playoff spot with a tie and a lo s by either the Browns or the Dolphins, or a Ravens tie coupled with a Titans
Jermichael Finley Jersey tie.
