However, the strength of the Titans’ rankings changes dramatically when adjusted to actual 2024 expectations. When strength of schedule is determined by predicted wins for 2024 instead of actual wins in 2023, the Titans have the sixth-toughest schedule in the competition. This change comes as several teams on the Titans’ schedule that underperformed last season (Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets, Los Angeles Chargers, Chicago Bears) are expected to compete for playoff spots due to strong offseasons and/or key players returning from injury.

The Titans have the third-toughest average opponent in the NFL by projected Super Bowl odds, thanks in large part to games against the Detroit Lions, Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans, Packers and Bengals. The Titans will play just three games against teams ranked in the bottom 10 and second-fewest in the league by Super Bowl odds.
