# Lane Mills: Mills predicts the Titans will win back-to-back December games against the Colts at home and the Raiders on the road, that Chimere Dike will rise to the WR2 spot in Tennessee's receiving corps, and that Cam Ward will surpass 3,000 passing yards again this season. **Claimed:** Nov 3, 2026 **Pundit:** Lane Mills — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/lane-mills **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/titans/onsi/3-bold-predictions-for-titans-after-bye-week-is-a-late-season-winning-streak-realistic-01m6hj24frtc 4 checkable claims — 2 game outcome picks, 1 depth chart call and 1 player season number — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room. > But a bold take is a bold take, and having already come so close to breaking this historically bad streak, I believe it's fair to predict that the Titans won't waste such a close shave again. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Tennessee Titans to beat Las Vegas Raiders** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Cam Ward to record 3,000 passing yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Cam Ward, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tennessee Titans to beat Indianapolis Colts** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chimere Dike to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Chimere Dike, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Tennessee Titans — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/titans - Cam Ward — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/cam-ward - Chimere Dike — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/chimere-dike ## What others said about the same people - Nathan Jahnke on K.J.

The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
