Titans vs. Chiefs: Staff predictions for Week 10 matchup

Here’s what our staff thinks about the Week 10 game between the Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs.

The Tennessee Titans (4-5) welcome the Kansas City Chiefs (6-3) to Nissan Stadium on Sunday in Week 10. For the Titans, this game is a must-win, as will be the case in every game the rest of the way if Tennessee hopes to turn this season around and make the playoffs.

Standing in their way of keeping hope alive is a Chiefs squad that remains one of the best in the NFL and is now welcoming back star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who missed the last two games after dislocating his kneecap in Week 7 against the Denver Broncos.

Mahomes’ return couldn’t come at a worse time for the Titans. Tennessee already needed all the help it could get to win this game, but Mahomes being re-inserted into the lineup only makes things worse.

Tennessee is going to need a special effort from several player on both sides of the ball to even have a chance, and there’s no question the deck is stacked in the Chiefs’ favor despite being the road team.

So, as our experts make their predictions for this contest, will any of them be brave enough to pick the Titans? Believe it or not, there is one brave soul willing to take that leap.

Granted, it wouldn’t be crazy given how Tennessee has played against superior opponents in recent years, but it’s hard to have faith in the consistently inconsistent Titans at this point in the season.

Here are our staff predictions for Week 10.
