Stephen Nover's NFL Sunday Night Big Ticket
(NFL) Tennessee vs. Kansas City, 11/06/2022 8:20 PM, Score: 17 - 20
Point Spread: -12.00 | -110.00 Kansas City (Home)
Result: Loss
I'm going to lay this dead number anticipating Ryan Tannehill will be back this week. Even if Tannehill is under center, I don't see the Titans staying within two touchdowns of the Chiefs. It's a huge bonus if Malik Willis has to start a second straight game because he's nowhere near being ready as an NFL starting quarterback.

The Titans were able to get away with Willis last week because they could totally rely on Derrick Henry against the Texans, who have the worst run defense by far in the NFL.

Kansas City has the No. 3 rush defense in the NFL. The Chiefs will be loading the box to stop Henry. The Chiefs have had two weeks to prepare having been idle last week. No coach is better off a bye than Andy Reid, who is 19-3 during the regular season after being off the week before.

The Chiefs won't lack incentive. The Titans embarrassed them, 27-3, in Tennessee last year.

The Titans don't have the makeup to play from behind because their wide receiving group is so weak.
