The Titans and Chiefs were the top two teams in the AFC standings last season, and they come into their Week 9 matchup this year as division leaders with hopes of a deep playoff run.

Despite identical 5-2 records, the Chiefs are heavily favored in this game. QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) was considered a game-time decision for the Titans, who ruled him inactive just before the game and will start rookie Malik Willis for the second consecutive week.

With Willis under center, expect Tennessee’s offense to be strictly run-based again. That worked against the Texans with Derrick Henry overpowering Houston’s defense, but will it be enough to keep up with Patrick Mahomes?

The Chiefs scored 44 points in their last game, a win over the 49ers, and Mahomes has never lost coming out of a bye week. It’s will take a gigantic effort by the Titans’ defense to slow Kansas City’s offense, but it’s easy to forget Tennessee game-planned well for the Chiefs last season and came out with a 27-3 win.
