Week 7 NFL picks for Chiefs vs. Titans

Before you tune in to Sunday's Chiefs vs. Titans game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up almost $7,700 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception six-plus years ago. It went a sizzling 24-14 on top-rated NFL picks last season, returning more than $800. The model also enters Week 7 of the 2021 season on an incredible 125-85 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.

The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past five years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94 percent of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

For Titans vs. Chiefs, the model is backing Tennessee (+4.5) to cover the spread on its home turf. The Titans enter Sunday's contest full of confidence after knocking off the Bills on Monday. Running back Derrick Henry continues to carry the load for the Titans, rushing for 143 yards and three touchdowns in Tennessee's 34-31 win. Henry leads the NFL in rushing yards through six weeks, having already racked up 783 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground.

Kansas City, meanwhile, has struggled to take care of the ball on offense this season. In fact, the Chiefs have turned the ball over 14 times in their first six games, the most in the NFL. Mahomes has thrown seven interceptions in his last four outings and Kansas City's defense continues to give up big plays. Kansas City's defense is giving up 410.5 yards per game this season, which doesn't bode well against a Tennessee offense that has scored 34 or more points in each of their last two games.

SportsLine's model is predicting Henry has another big day for the Titans, projecting he'll rush for 124 yards and a touchdown. And while Mahomes throws for over 330 yards in the simulations, the model shows Tennessee covering the spread well over 50 percent of the time.
