The Tennessee Titans come into the 2015 season with low expectations, but still have a lot to look forward to for the fans. With several young, potential stars on the roster, the Titans have an opportunity to show off their bright future and convince the rest of the league that they are headed up. Here are five early predictions for the Titans’ 2015 season.

No. 5 Not the Worst Team in the NFL

Many predictions have the Titans as the worst or No. 31 team in the NFL next season, but, when you take a look at this roster and schedule, Tennessee should win five or six games.

Justin Hunter disappointed last season, but gains competition this season with Hakeem Nicks, Dorial Green-Beckham, Tre McBride and Harry Douglas joining the team. Hopefully this competition drives him to be the player everyone thought he would be when he was drafted.

No. 3 Crushes Tampa Bay in Opening Game

The Tennessee Titans open the 2015 season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Marcus Mariota and the Titans crush Jameis Winston and the Bucs in the game behind a three or more sack game by Jurrell Casey.

Jacksonville is on the rise, but I’m not sure their defense is anywhere near the caliber of the Tennessee Titans’ defense. I also believe the Titans will steal a game from either the Houston Texans or the Indianapolis Colts.

No. 1 Marcus Mariota Shines

I cringed when the Titans drafted Marcus Mariota at No. 2 overall. Not because Mariota isn’t a great asset, but because Tennessee needs far more than a QB to get back into the playoff hunt. However, Mariota has the makings of a great QB and should have a fantastic rookie year.
