The Tennessee Titans travel to Kansas City to play the Chiefs in a game that appears to be a mismatch. The Titans are rolling at 5-0 while the Chiefs have been one of the worst teams in the NFL while struggling to a 1-4 record.
The Titans main strength is their running game while the Chiefs rank near the bottom of the league in defending the run. Advantage: Titans. Additionally, Chiefs' running back Larry Johnson has been suspended for the game. This would seem to favor the Titans as well, but Johnson rushed for only two yards in the Chiefs last game.
Both teams are coming off a bye week which is a little unusual. The bye came at a bad time for the Titans because they had been rolling. The bye probably came at a good time for the Chiefs because the weary often need rest.
Everything points to a Titans' win, but I've felt uneasy about this game all week. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it is because the Chiefs have one of the best home field advantages in the league.
Nevertheless, I'm going with the Titans.
The pick: Tennessee 24 Kansas City 13
Other picks: Chicago over Minnesota, New York Giants over San Francisco, Dallas over St. Louis, Tampa Bay over Seattle, San Diego over Buffalo
Last week: 2-3 (.400), Overall 20-14 (.588)

Titans ain't gonna have no trouble this weekend. I see 'em winning by 20, at the very least.
My prediction: Titans 31, Chiefs 10. Bank it (apologies to George Plaster).
Titans 34 Chiefs 10. I know the Chiefs are terrible, but the Titans played great. Congrats to Joltin' Django for almost picking the score exactly correct.
