Are the Titans that good?
There is no doubt that it takes a good team to win ten straight games in the NFL but many wonder whether or not the Titans are that good. The Titans opponents have a combined record of 40-49-1 if you exclude the 10 losses to the Titans. That record in itself isn't so bad but the concern is that the Titans have only beaten two teams in the NFL that currently play above .500, the Colts and the Ravens. Currently, 15 of the 32 NFL teams have more wins than losses which means the average opponent would have played four or five games against opponents that play above .500. However, if you look at their opponents' records against non-divisional opponents they are 22-33-1. This is the best number to look at since the Titans benefited from their three games against the NFC North; that division is 7-17 when they play against teams outside their own division. The Titans are good but they haven't beaten any good teams and next Sunday's game against the Jets will be very interesting to watch.
 

Strength of Schedule - Players to Target
The following chart tells you how much better or worse players from every team are expected to perform at each position based on their strength of schedule from the first nine games and the last seven.

Example: In the second half of the season, Peyton Manning will play teams that have allowed 113% more fantasy points to quarterbacks than the teams he played in the first half of the season and 121% for the teams he will play in weeks 14 through 16.
