Ryan Tannehill is a true game-time decision, so I will be staying away from Titans props entirely. The piece of information is too large to handicap without knowing for certain. However, the Chiefs’ offense has plenty of options to choose from and I expect them to be highly motivated following their 27-3 loss to the Titans last season. That was by far Patrick Mahomes’ most embarrassing game of his career, so I’m expecting him to avenge that in primetime.

Patrick Mahomes Over 277.5 passing yards (-115)
Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at the time of publishing.
Mahomes has hit this in 4 of 7 games and 3 straight. He is currently 3rd in MVP voting and knows a big performance in primetime could get his name back up in the rankings. I mentioned earlier how embarrassing that loss was last year to Tennessee, and I think Mahomes makes good on that Sunday night. The Titans as an opponent are an advantageous one. They have allowed 300+ passing yards 4+ times this season through 8 games and will be without starting safety Amani Hooker. Bud Dupree was battling an illness and listed as questionable; DT Jeffrey Simmons is dealing with an ankle injury and is also questionable. If either one doesn’t play, that would have a huge impact on this Titans defense trying to stop Mahomes. 1U from me if Malik Willis plays and 1.5U if Ryan Tannehill plays, as I believe Willis is still not ready to put significant points up against a playoff team this early in his career.
Mecole Hardman Over 27.5 receiving yards (-115)
Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at the time of publishing.
Hardman has strung together the best stretch of the season over these last 3 weeks. He has delivered 73, 42 and 32-yard performances and is getting a consistent 4+ targets per game in that stretch. Titans nickel CB Roger McCreary is ranked 45th out of 110 CBs in coverage according to PFF and has allowed this line in 6/7 games. He’s also giving up 9.2 YPC on the year. I really love this line more than anything else and it ties into Mahomes having a big performance. 1U from me.
