Key Factors
Favors Over
THE BLITZ projects the Tennessee Titans as the 3rd-most run-heavy team in football near the goal line (in a neutral context) right now with a 50.1% red zone run rate.
The Tennessee Titans O-line grades out as the 7th-best in the league this year at opening holes for runners.
The Kansas City Chiefs defensive ends grade out as the 4th-worst DE corps in football this year when it comes to stopping the run.
The Kansas City Chiefs have stacked the box versus opponents on just 11.8% of their plays since the start of last season, 7th-least in football. Choosing not to keep an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.
The Tennessee Titans have gone no-huddle on 11.3% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (10th-most in football). This speeds up the pace, leading to more volume and stat accumulation.
Favors Under
The Titans are a big 13.5-point underdog in this week's game, which points towards an extreme passing game script.
THE BLITZ projects this game to have the 4th-lowest volume of plays run out of all the games this week at 125.3 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
The Tennessee Titans have run the least plays in football this year, totaling a lowly 52.7 plays per game.
Opposing offenses have rushed for the 2nd-least touchdowns in the NFL (0.43 per game) versus the Kansas City Chiefs defense this year.
The Tennessee Titans have faced a stacked the box on 26.4% of their plays since the start of last season, 2nd-most in the NFL. Positioning an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
