NFL, New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans, Preview/Prediction

With the NFL season almost three quarters over by week's end, it make you start to wonder whether or not your team has what it takes. Perseverance and heart are what makes up a real team, unless you are a money hoarding, super team like the Dallas Cowboys, and look where that got them!

 

AFC

  1. The Tennessee Titans                                                        This team is off to a franchise best 9-0 through Week 10. The momentum train will continue through week 11 but will come to an end in Week 12 and they will see a crashing halt to the end of their season. When I talk about football with people, they always want facts and stats. So you want them here they are: 22nd in the NFL  in total yards, 12th in the NFL in defending the pass, and only 10th in points scored. Those are not the stats that make up a Super Bowl team, but merely an impressive season to date. They will be good enough to grab the top spot in the AFC, but they will end their season a mere average for a top seeded team: 13-3
  2. The Pittsburgh Steelers                                                                       The Pittsburgh Steelers have been in the pits lately, but I predict a seasonable change for them. As the weather become colder, the team will get hotter! A scoffing 6-3 through Week 10 is nothing to brag about, but a healthy Ben Roethlisberger will return and so will an offense that scores. They may own one of the league's worst offenses, but their defense is No. 1! The team is producing when it matters most however, the conference record is second best in the AFC, and third best in the NFL  at 5-1. The final record will be mediocre at best with a 12-4 finish thus ending the season with a four game winning streak and seeing a first-round bye.
