Houston Texans (7-4)
Preseason prediction: 6-10
Q1 Prediction: 9-7 #4
Q2 Prediction: 9-7 #6
Q3 Prediction: 11-5 #4
Most important game left: wks 15 and 17 series against Titans – Since Ryan Tannehill took over the Titans have been reborn, and these two games will be Houston’s chance to either hold onto the division or let Derrick Henry rip it out of their hands.
Indianapolis Colts (6-5)
Preseason prediction: 5-11
Q1 Prediction: 8-8
Q2 Prediction: 13-3 #2
Q3 Prediction: 9-7 #6
Most important game left: wk13 vs TEN – Just like the Texans, the Colts’ path to the postseason is most challenged by Tennessee.
Tennessee Titans (6-5)
Preseason prediction: 6-10
Q1 Prediction: 5-11
Q2 Prediction: 6-10
Q3 Prediction: 8-8
Most important game left: All the in-division madness – The Titans are normally destined to go 9-7 so maybe they take one from the Colts and end up the 6 seed.
Jacksonville Jaguars (4-7)
Preseason prediction: 7-9 #4
Q1 Prediction: 9-7 #6
Q2 Prediction: 8-8
Q3 Prediction: 5-11
Most important game left: wk14 vs LAC – The Jags’ season is already over, so the most important thing left is determining whether Nick Foles is their way forward. This game might be the best way to do that, because the Chargers are tough but beatable at home.
