The Titans did their part on Sunday, beating the Colts 31-17 and advancing to 7-5. However, they didn’t get much help from around the league. The Bills advanced to 9-3 with an impressive road win over the floundering Cowboys on Thanksgiving, the Steelers got to 7-5 with their 16th straight win over the Browns at Heinz Field, and the Texans beat a flu-ridden Patriots team on Sunday Night Football to maintain a one game lead in the division.
Tennessee’s playoff odds are now up to 42% overall with a 22% chance of winning the division according to FiveThirtyEight’s Elo model and Football Outsiders has them at 52.
