Normally I enjoy your post but not sure how to say this but your wrong. Your handicapping trends and data that's not really That important. Your failing to handicap This game. Past results mean nothing if you fail to take into account the present data, which you have. Chiefs will expose titans secondary. Chiefs are the #1 team In NFL and will 100% take control of this game early. KC leads early and now titans play from behind. Titans winning 4 straight road games is statically unlikely. Titans lose by DD. No egos here, for the sake of bankrolls take this info to heart.
God Bless
Elite19, my friend...I greatly appreciate your heartfelt counsel on this game...however, I do find it very interesting that while you advise me to NOT take statistics and trends into account while handicapping...you list one of the oldest and simplest stats as a point to buttress your arguments...
The Titans have a tried and true formula that has beaten just about any type of team they have faced recently...they control the time of possession...limit the offensive possessions by their opposition...and grind them into dust with the best bruiser in the game right now...
Baltimore...finesse team with good defense...crushed...
Patriots...elite defensive team with the GOAT...crushed...
And now the Chiefs...another finesse team with a defense not NEARLY as good as the Ravens or the Patriots...
If you read my thread, Mahomes does NOT play well in cold weather...these stats are not anomalies, my friend...they are COLD HARD FACTS that you discount at your bankroll's risk...
Please...reconsider your position....you are giving 7/7.5 points in a game that will feature a lot of running...if the weather is any indicator at all....10-20 degrees and the wind is now kicking up...Mahomes will be colder than he has ever been...and if this game gets down to which team can run the best...
It is game over...Titans win my friend...
Don't burn your cash...

I "talked" myself into it the minute the lines came out after the Ravens game...lol...
It is an easy call...in a league that has discounted the running game and running backs...discounted defense and promoted offense...teams that win in the playoffs have historically been good running teams with excellent defense...

This is what will kill KC, a little talked about stat...opponent rushing first downs per game. They are 26th in the league and the worst playoff team. They allow 7 first downs by rushes per game, so if Tenn can stick to their game plan of grinding the run game, KC might be in trouble. And while KC is 4th in passing TD per game, Tenn is not far behind at 8th.

An excellent contribution, my friend...I'm a bit chagrined that I did not spot that particular one in my research....
Well done...
Those who ignore these important details do so at their own bankroll's peril...
And speaking of "important details"...the Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones missed last weeks game with a calf injury...he is active today but if that calf injury flares up or gets too cold and locks down...that will be a HUGE plus for the Titans...
Watch him carefully in the game for how he is performing as well...first game back after an injury is usually touch and go...and in this weather it is more so...

So do you also like the under Smack? 1st half under 25?
I'm hesitant to play the under in this game for the full game but might consider the UNDER 1H at 25 for a play...
The scenario being the tough weather conditions keeping the score down and it's usually the 2H before Henry starts to wear down the defenses for long runs and the business decisions start to kick in for those defensive backs...
No official play though...

Your best bet in the AFC game if you think it will be close...
Team with the most punts: Titans -150
Tenn, for as great an offense as it has, is 4th in the league in punts per game, averaging 5 and that goes up almost a full punt on the road. Last week they had 6.
KC, on the other hand is at the opposite end, they average 3 per game. One of the main reasons why is because KC is #1 in the league in penalty first downs per game. They average 3 first downs per game just on flags.
The second best bet. Anytime touchdown scorer... Kelce -145
Having that been said. I think you have to go with your gut. The titans have not lost a game by more then 13 all season. If you are getting a 10/13 point teaser, then you almost have to go Tenn +20 and Over.

Tenn has only had one game where the total didn't break 20, and two games were it didn't break 30. Every game the chiefs played was over 20 and they had two games that didn't break 30 and that was because the other teams CHI and DEN have horrible offenses.

There is a stat on 10 point teasers up higher in the thread where they have been hitting at nearly 95% in the playoffs for years...
Got to have a teaser on this game...

It's just not a fair fight so I pretty much ignore him...I hate to be perceived as bullying a kid who rides the short yellow bus so I just let him do his r*t*rd thing and go on...
No tension at all...mainly pity...

KC will get 30+ pts today. It's only how many will Titans score. Penalties attributed to eating up the clock. Won't happen 2H. God forbid KC grabs the lead. No more Henry.
