The Tennessee Titans will have a much different look heading into the 2024 season. RB Derrick Henry, the team’s 2nd-round pick in 2016, played 8 seasons in Nashville, but he signed a 2-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens in the offseason. The 4-time Pro Bowler and 2-time rushing leader leaves big shoes to fill.
In addition to Henry’s departure, the sideline will have a new look with coach Brian Callahan replacing the fired Mike Vrabel. The latter was at the helm for 6 seasons. The 39-year-old Callahan, who is a 1st-time head coach, was previously the offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals from 2019-23, and he is the son of former NFL coach Bill Callahan.
The Titans inked former Dallas Cowboys RB Tony Pollard to try and fill the void, and promising young RB Tyjae Spears remains with RB Hassan Haskins waiting in the wings. C Lloyd Cushenberry will anchor a new-look line, too, after receiving a big 4-year deal.
The Tennessee roster certainly has some veteran leadership, too, especially at the receiver spots. They brought in both UFAs Tyler Boyd and Calvin Ridley to give QB Will Levis more weapons, in addition to WR DeAndre Hopkins. TE Chigoziem Okonkwo showed glimpses of brilliance in 2023, too.
The offense needs to be better, and it should be better. The defense was mediocre in 2023, with the rushing defense the best part of the group. The defense allowed 21.6 points per game (PPG), which was middle of the road. Adding LB Azeez Al-Shaair and CB Sean Murphy-Bunting will help.

Titans over/under win total
Odds provided by FanDuel Sportsbook – last updated May 28 at 7:30 p.m. ET; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list.
- 6.5 wins: (Over: +110 | Under: -134)
According to the Sharp Football Analysis, the Titans have the 6th most difficult schedule in the NFL. Their implied line of 6.15 wins is slightly below the teams projected win total at most sportsbooks.
Looking at the schedule on a Game-by-Game basis, it could be a rough start for the Titans in September. All 4 opponents have improved, and all could potentially be playoff teams. In October, back-to-back road trips to Buffalo and Detroit is absolutely brutal. In fact, it’s conceivable the Titans could be 0-6 or 1-5 through the first 6 road Games through Week 12.
The home schedule features some respites, including the yearly visit from the Indianapolis Colts, who should also be mediocre, and games against the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots.
We’re estimating that the Titans will be 4-7 heading into December, so they’d need a combination of 3 victories in the final 6 games to exceed their win total. It doesn’t look good, as it is likely they’ll be underdogs in at least 4 or 5 of those games.
Play UNDER 6.5 WINS (-134), as that’s the safest bet with a new coach, new tailback and a so-so defense facing a difficult schedule.
Titans Super Bowl odds
- +13000 (bet $100 to win $13,000)
The Titans have the 5th-longest odds of any NFL teams to win the Super Bowl, so don’t look for a parade with the Lombardi Trophy coming to the Music City anytime soon.
Tennessee did amass a solid receiver corps, and Pollard should do an admirable job in the backfield. But the jury is still out on Levis, the team is transitioning to a new coaching scheme, and the defense was just mediocre in 2023. So many things need to be better, and it’s likely things will get a little worse before they get better.
The San Francisco 49ers (+550) are the favorites to win the Super Bowl, followed by the Kansas City Chiefs (+600) and Henry’s new team, the Baltimore Ravens (+950).
At +13000, Tennessee has an implied probability of winning the Super Bowl of just 0.76% or 130/1 fractional odds.
The Carolina Panthers have the longest odds in the NFL at +30000, while the Patriots have the longest odds in the AFC at +18000 with the Denver Broncos and Washington CoMMAnders not far behind at +15000 each.
PASS, as this Titans team has a solid group of veterans, especially on offense, but that doesn’t always translate to success.
Will Titans make the playoffs?
- Yes +470 | No -700
The Titans are expected to hold up the end in the AFC South, as the team transitions to a new regime in 2024.
It’s uncertain what we’ll get from the 39-year-old Callahan, who gets his 1st head coaching gig in the NFL. The team certainly surrounded Levis with plenty of weapons to have a high-octane offense, but is the former University of Kentucky standout a legit star? The jury is still out, and we’ll see if Callahan as the combination to unlock his potential, similar to how he put Cincinnati QB Joe Burrow in position to become a star under center.
The Sportsbooks are very bearish on the Titans to do much of anything in 2024, let alone make the postseason. The schedule is really going to be a bear, too.
It appears unlikely the Titans are going to be in the mix for the playoffs, but you can’t play No (-700) on missing the playoffs. Tying up 7 times your potential return is just not a recommended betting strategy, either.
AVOID.
Odds to win AFC South Division
- Texans +105 (bet $100 to win $105)
- Jaguars +270 (bet $100 to win $270)
- Colts +330 (bet $100 to win $330)
- Titans +800 (bet $100 to win $800)
Tennessee’s implied probability of winning the AFC South is 11.1% or 8/1 fractional odds. The Titans probably should have some longer odds to win the division, too. Tennessee was 1-5 last season inside the division, although 2 of those setbacks were heartbreakers in overtime.
Anyway, the AFC South is expected to be a 3-horse race, and the Titans are expected to be in the basement by most Sportsbooks and prognosticators.
There is a proud group of veterans who could make things interesting on offense, but the quarterback play isn’t expected to be great, and the defense is likely to be rather mediocre again.
AVOID.

Titans odds to win AFC
- +6000 (bet $100 to win $6,000)
The Titans have the 3rd-longest odds to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl, with only the Broncos (+7000) and Patriots (+9000) with longer odds.
This isn’t a championship-caliber team, and it would be a major surprise if the Titans were to post a winning record and/or qualify for the playoffs. None of that is expected to occur, either.
AVOID and look elsewhere for teams with better chances.
