The Tennessee Titans have secured their place in the AFC Championship Game, but the question still remains as to who they will face next week.
The battle between the Kansas City Chiefs and the division rival Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon will determine that.
But if the Titans had their pick, who would they rather take?
It’s a toss-up, but you almost have more confidence in the Titans getting a win over the Chiefs.

Tennessee defeated Kansas City 35-32 when they faced them in Nissan Stadium back in November.
There was concern about star quarterback Patrick Mahomes not playing in the game as he was still recovering from an injury, but he played the full game, completing 36-of-50 passes for 446 yards and three touchdowns on the loss.
The Chiefs lead the overall series between the two teams with a record of 29-24-0, but the Titans have won the past four meetings.
The Titans lost the first meeting with the Texans of the 2019 season, falling 24-21 in Nashville on Dec. 15.

Things were much different the second time around, as the Titans left Houston with a 35-14 victory.
But they did it against a Texans team that was resting key starters like quarterback Deshaun Watson and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, and it will be interesting to see if they can top Houston in the same way if they have to face them at full force next week.
The Titans lead the all-time series against Houston with an overall record of 19-17-0, with a 2-2 record on the past four contests.
Regardless of who the Titans face, if recent history repeats itself, it’s safe to assume it’ll be a close matchup either way.
