Despite notching a huge victory over the Buffalo Bills in Week 6, the Tennessee Titans are listed as home underdogs to the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of their Week 7 contest on Sunday.
According to Tipico Sportsbook, the Chiefs are 5.5-point favorites over the Titans. The over/under, which is set at 57.5, is the highest of any Week 7 contest.
Interestingly enough, the Chiefs were manhandled by the Bills in Week 5, 38-20, which came one week before Tennessee pulled off an upset victory over Buffalo, 34-31.
Kansas City was able to rebound in Week 6, though, crushing the Washington Football Team, 31-13.
These two teams last met in the AFC Championship Game during the 2019 playoffs, where the Chiefs emerged victorious, 35-24. Earlier that season, Tennessee upset Kansas City in Week 10, 35-32.
The bad news for the Titans in this one is that they are very depleted at the cornerback position with a high-powered passing attack coming to town.
Tennessee’s No. 1 corner, Kristian Fulton, was placed on Injured Reserve prior to the Week 6 game, and 2021 first-round pick, Caleb Farley, landed there on Tuesday after tearing his ACL.
The Titans’ offense, which showed improvement last week, will have to score plenty of points if Tennessee hopes to notch a second straight upset victory on Sunday.
