THREAD: According to @FiveThirtyEight's 2019 NFL Playoff Prediction Machine.

The #Titans sit at 15% chance to make the playoffs in some form or fashion. 8% to win the division.

What does this mean heading into Sunday?

Well, let's take a look at our Division Rivals!
Here is how the AFC South Stacks up. The %'s are in this order: Make Playoffs/Win Division

#Texans(6-3): 84%/69%
#Colts (5-4): 32%/19%
#Titans (5-5): 15%/8%
#Jaguars(4-5): 21%/4%

While the Titans are on bye: The Texans face Baltimore, & the Colts and Jaguars battle this Sunday
When the #Ravens beat down the Texans here is how the AFC South Changes:

#Texans(6-4):77%/61%
#Colts (5-4): 34%/24%
#Titans (5-5): 17%/9%
#Jaguars(4-5): 21%/6%

Not too much changes, but let's see what happens to THESE numbers couple when you take into account the Indy/Jax game
A Colts win over the Jaguars and a Texans Loss would have the AFC South looking like this:

#Texans(6-4):76%/56%
#Colts (6-4): 50%/35%
#Titans (5-5): 16%/8%
#Jaguars(4-6): 7%/1%

Again, Titans are in the hunt with a huge game coming off the bye to kill Jacksonville's playoff dreams
However, a Texans loss couple with a Jaguars win would have the AFC South standings like this:

#Texans(6-4):79%/67%
#Colts (5-5): 16%/11%
#Titans (5-5): 17%/10%
#Jaguars(5-5): 37%/12%

Titans are in the Hunt, and face the Jags and the Colts to possibly kill the Colts playoff hopes
If the Texans lose & Jags win, & we look at these two games in Week 12:

Jags vs Titans, & Houston vs Indy. Titans/Texans win:

#Texans(7-4):88%/80%
#Colts (5-6): 7%/2%
#Titans (6-5): 27%/15%
#Jaguars(5-6): 20%/2%

Then we'd have an important Week 13 game to destroy Indy's dreams
There are teams outside our division to watch over the next two weeks that affect these %'s of course:

-Buffalo versus MIA,DEN
-Raiders versus Cincy, Jets
-Pittsburgh versus Browns, Bengals

They are big threats to those WC Spots. Titans may have to win the Division to get in
