The Tennessee Titans are visiting the San Francisco 49ers in Week 15, and Vegas isn’t exactly fond of their chances to win. Off the heels of their second win of the year in Cleveland last Sunday, Cam Ward & Co. are 12.5 point underdogs to the 9-4 Niners.

If you’re Team Draft Pick, the Titans obviously need to lose today to have a realistic chance at the first overall pick again. But what else could break in their favor this week? Here’s every matchup you need to watch:

Week 15 outcomes the Titans need for the draft order

The two other 2-11 teams are the Giants and Raiders. Las Vegas would have to pull a massive upset at the Eagles as 12.5 underdogs if they want to get a third win today. But the Giants are 2.5 home favorites against the 3-win Commanders.

That’s one of the three highly realistic outcomes Titans fans need to be rooting for today if they want the top pick. Step 1, Tennessee needs to lose to the 49ers. Step 2, the Giants need to beat the Commanders. And Step 3 is the 3-win Saints pulling off a slight upset of the Panthers. New Orleans is 2.5 point home underdogs to Carolina, but if they can get their fourth win in week 15, it’s a nice cushion for the Titans before they face the Saints in Nashville in Week 17.

If these three things happen, the Titans will end the day in position for the second overall pick behind the Raiders, and there will be one less team in the current three-win category waiting to jump them if they win again.

It is December in the NFL, however, and big upsets can always be on the menu. So here’s the full list of games that could go the Titans way:

  • NYG -2.5 vs. WAS (Giants win)
  • NO +2.5 vs. CAR (Saints win)
  • CLE +7.5 @ CHI (Browns win)
  • ARI +10.5 @ HOU (Cardinals win)
  • TEN +12.5 @ SF (Titan lose)
  • LV +12.5 @ PHI (Raiders win)
  • NYJ +14 @ JAX (Jets win)
