The Tennessee Titans hold the second pick in the 2015 NFL Draft and play the second-easiest schedule in the league next season. Maybe that combination could spark a turnaround for the Titans, who went 2-14 in 2014 and haven't been to the playoffs since 2008.

Tennessee's schedule hasn't been completed, but its list of opponents has been.

The Titans have home-and-home series against its three AFC South rivals - the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars.

They have intra-conference games against the AFC East and inter-conference games against the NFC South. Those games bring the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers to Nashville and send the Titans to the New England Patriots, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

As the last-place team in the AFC South in 2014, Tennessee also will play the other three last-place teams from the AFC's divisions - the Jets, Cleveland Browns and Oakland Raiders. The Titans will host the Raiders and visit the Browns.

Tennessee will kick off its 2015 season on Sept. 13, unless its opening opponent turns out to be New England. As the winners of Super Bowl XLIX, the Patriots will host the opening game of the 2015 NFL season on Sept. 10.

Only Tampa Bay, which holds the No. 1 pick in the draft, is scheduled to play an easier slate than Tennessee in 2015, based on its opponents' records in 2014.
