Titans May Have Gotten Win in Bye Week
The Tennessee Titans are sitting at home for their Week 10 bye, but they may have seen their outlook improve for the future.
The Titans came into the week in a tie for the No. 1 overall pick’s top odds with the New Orleans Saints and New York Jets, but results for the early slate of games in Week 10 have pushed Tennessee in sole possession of the chances for the top selection.
The Saints and Jets both got their second wins today, leaving the 1-8 Titans (who are on a bye) in the driver’s seat for the No. 1 overall pick with eight weeks to go.

The Saints came in as underdogs on the road against the Carolina Panthers, who were coming off a massive win against the Green Bay Packers on the road.
Despite the Panthers’ momentum, the Saints were able to grab their second win of the season thanks to rookie quarterback Tyler Shough. The second-round pick out of Louisville completed 19 of 27 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns.
The Jets started the season 0-8, but they have now rattled off back-to-back victories against the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns.
Despite trading several of their top players at the trade deadline earlier this week, the Jets are in the win column again thanks to a pair of special teams touchdowns to beat the Browns.
The Titans could snag the No. 1 overall pick for the second year in a row. If the Titans were to lose their final eight games, they will be on the clock at the start of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Things have been rough for the Titans in their rebuild this season. This year’s top pick Cam Ward has demonstrated signs of being a franchise quarterback, but he has also been put in a tough position with the lack of talent around him.
The Titans need a lot of help in the development department, so having the top selection will be crucial. There’s a good chance the Titans won’t be looking for a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick, so they could use the top selection to trade back in the draft for even more picks, generating them into players who could work down the line.
At the end of the day, the Titans still need to draft the right players, regardless of whether they have No. 1, No. 2 or No. 32, but having the top selection open things up for the team.

Transportation crews from East Tennessee heading to the Midstate to assist in winter storm recovery
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Tennessee Department of Transportation crews from East Tennessee are heading to the Midstate to assist state and local crews in the winter storm recovery efforts.
East Tennessee TDOT spokesperson Mark Nagi said crews from Knoxville are heading to the Volunteer State’s middle region to help in areas that were hit hard by this weekend’s winter storm.
Nagi said 17 crew members, two excavators, seven salt trucks, two gradalls and two skid steers are heading to Middle Tennessee.
This weekend’s winter storm has made travel hazardous across Tennessee. Officials have cleared many roads, but temperatures are still dangerously cold, making ice likely on roadways.
Additionally, ice clinging to trees has caused many to break and fall onto roads and homes.
In Nashville, crews worked through the night to continue clearing roads. NDOT Deputy Director Phillip Jones said they have cleared over 10,000 lane miles since the storm hit this weekend.
Still, he said just before 1 p.m. that about 800 tree locations still need to be serviced.
The recovery from this weekend is an immense undertaking, and officials are asking for patience and collaboration.
Dangerous cold and ice could stick around for days as temperatures are not expected to get above freezing until Sunday.
Temperatures will struggle to get back to 20° Monday afternoon and although the area will see some sunshine, the low sun angle won’t help much in melting away snow or ice.
Officials said residents should avoid travel if possible, but if not, drivers should be extremely cautious when on the roadways.
