The first NFL game of the weekend is a match-up between the AFC West winning Kansas City Chiefs and the wildcard Tennessee Titans.
Coverage of this game will air on ESPN and ABC (check your listings) as well as the WatchESPN app beginning at 4:20 pm ET on Saturday from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
The Chiefs (10-6) regular season ha three parts, very good, very bad and strong to finish the season. Exactly how far this team goes is up for debate but the first part of that starts this weekend. Quarterback Alex Smith has been a lighting rod for the success and struggles of the team and regardless of how he plays in this one it appears his reign as the Chiefs signal caller will end shortly after a loss.
On the other side of the field the Titans (9-7) dropped three straight games before defeating Jacksonville on the final week of the season. They enter this game at full strength.
The Odds: The Chiefs enter this one with home field advantage and are favored by 8.5 points against the Titans. The over/under for this game is 44.5 total points.
This game really comes down to what version of the Chiefs show up. If it is the team that won to close out the season the Titans are in for a rough day, however if the mid-season Chiefs arrive this game could easily go the way of the underdog.
