Both the Titans and Rams still have plenty to play for with LA coming in as the -6.5 road favorite here.
The Titans trail Jacksonville by two games in the AFC South. To make their Week 17 home game against the Jaguars a showdown for the division title, they have to defeat the Rams and hope the 49ers can beat Jacksonville, which seemed highly unlikely just a few weeks ago but suddenly San Francisco is playing better football, albeit against teams that are either not good or perhaps overrated (a la Tennessee, for whom they beat).
Tennessee still has a good shot at making the Playoffs even without a division win provided they can beat the Rams here.
Two wins cinches no worse than a wild-card spot, regardless of what Baltimore or Buffalo, the other 8-6 teams, do in the last two weeks.
"They know where we are at," Titans coach Mike Mularkey said of his players. "They know we have a great opportunity sitting right in front of us that is very reachable if we come in here the way we've come in here, with the mindset of putting in a good week's worth of preparation.
"We need to put 60 minutes of good football together, one game at a time."
