The Tennessee Titans enter their Week 9 battle against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium as massive underdogs, partly thanks to the respective natures of their 5-2 starts.
According to Tipico Sportsbook, Tennessee is a 12-point underdog to Kansas City, which is slightly down from the 12.5 it was to start the week.
It’s fair to say there aren’t many out there giving the Titans a chance to win this game, but this is exactly the type of scenario Tennessee’s star defensive lineman, Jeffery Simmons, loves.
“They have a good team. We know them. They know us,” Simmons said on Thursday. “They haven’t changed. And honestly, we might be missing a couple pieces, but we haven’t changed, and the same with them. They still got Mahomes, they still got Travis Kelce. They want to get the ball to Travis Kelce a lot, and I mean, they got Mahomes back there, who is really a good player. Man, I live for games like this where no one expects us to go in and get a big win. I’m juiced up every game, but games like this just mean a little more to me, because I know what type of team I have, we have here in Tennessee.”
