According to the New York Times NFL Playoff Simulator — a tool that I enjoy playing with every year around this time — the Titans currently have a 12% chance at making the playoffs. It probably feels like that number is high given the way the team has played the last two weeks and maybe it is. The NYT Simulator is just treating each game like a 50-50 proposition, not factoring in the strengths of each team. Football Outsiders, who does consider those factors in their formula, gives the Titans a 5.6% chance of making it to the postseason.
