Despite rattling off five straight wins, the Titans are massive underdogs to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9. Tennessee is 4-1 in its last five matchups with the Chiefs, and there are a few reasons to feel good about the Titans’ chances once again. Before I explain why Tennessee will pull off the upset, let’s first be sure you’ve claimed your $1,000 risk-free bet from FanDuel Sportsbook.

3 Reasons the Titans Will Upset The Chiefs

Derrick Henry

Henry has proven in recent weeks he’s still one of the NFL’s most dominant running backs, and the Chiefs’ run defense has struggled in recent weeks. Kansas City ranks 23rd over its last three games by allowing five yards per rush attempt. Henry, meanwhile, has four straight 100-yard games and just ran for 219 yards against Houston.

When the Titans beat the Chiefs in 2019, Henry had 188 yards and two TDs. That’s the recipe for a Titans victory on Sunday Night Football.

Improving Defense

Led by Jeffrey Simmons and Kevin Byard, the Titans’ defense is rapidly improving. Over the last three games, Tennessee ranks fifth in opponent yards per play (4.8). Kansas City, on the other hand, is 30th in that time frame (6.3).

It’s not hard to imagine Simmons causing mayhem all game, disrupting the Chiefs’ offense and giving the Titans a victory similar to the Colts’ win over Kansas City earlier this year.

Betting Trends

Somehow, Mike Vrabel always finds a way with his guys. The Titans are a spectacular 10-4 in their last 14 games as underdogs, including winning three of their last four. Winning behind Derrick Henry and a strong defense isn’t the sexiest style, but it’s certainly effective.

The Chiefs struggle as massive favorites too, going just 4-10 against the spread (ATS) in their last 14 games as a favorite of seven or more points. They’re just 2-5 ATS in their last seven as a favorite with any spread, and the Titans’ surge shows they can hang with the AFC’s elite teams.

Before you lock your Titans bet in, don’t forget to first claim your $1,000 risk-free bet from FanDuel Sportsbook. Tennessee looks primed to win for a fifth time in six games against the Chiefs, and you’ll be sick if you miss out on this massive payday.
