Titans vs Chiefs Betting Pick
This game will be played at Arrowhead Stadium at 8:20 PM ET on Sunday, November 6, 2022.
Why Bet The Chiefs:
✅ This just isn’t a good matchup for the Titans. Kansas City ranks third in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game, giving up 92 yards per game on the ground. And with the Titans ranking 31st in the league in passing yards per game, the Chiefs will be able to focus their attention on slowing down Derrick Henry. That will force Ryan Tannehill to beat the Chiefs, and good luck with that.
✅ Dating back to last season, the Chiefs have been favored by double digits four times coming into this game. In those games, they are 4-0 and have beaten their opponents by an average of 18 points per game. Against a limited Tennessee offense, the Chiefs should roll again in this matchup.

✅ Tennessee’s defense is also causing the team problems. They are allowing 6.0 yards per play this season, which is tied for the third-worst mark in the NFL through Week 8. That does not bode well against Patrick Mahomes and a Chiefs offense that had an extra week to prepare for this contest.
Tennessee Titans
The Tennessee Titans managed to overcome the loss of their starting quarterback in Week 8. They defeated the Houston Texans in a low-scoring game with rookie Malik Willis as their signal caller, though Derrick Henry was the star of the show. Henry had over 200 rushing yards in that game, and he may need another game like that for the Titans to come away with a win in Kansas City.
Whether it is Tannehill or Willis at quarterback in this game for the Titans, the passing game of the Titans needs to be more potent. Only the Chicago Bears and their retrograde offense has been worse in terms of passing yards per game this year. If the Titans cannot keep up with the Chiefs through the air, Sunday night could be a bloodbath for Tennessee.
Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs had their bye week in Week 8 of the NFL season. That will, of course, prompt a ton of content about how well Andy Reid coached teams have done coming off of bye weeks. More important than that, though, will be how the Chiefs do at stopping the run in this matchup.
There is no secret that the Titans will want to run the ball early and often in this contest. If the Chiefs are able to slow that facet of their game down, it will allow them to bring pressure on Ryan Tannehill on third and long. If that happens, the Chiefs could benefit from some mistakes from the Titans offense.
