The Chiefs may have worked out a few kinks as they held Washington to 13 points in a win last week. After giving up 30 or more points in four straight games, KC played its best defensive game. They will need to do it again against a Titans offense that can be prolific. The Titans defense isn’t very good either having allowed 30 or more points in back-to-back games to start the season. There should be a lot of offense in this one just like last year’s AFC championship game. KC won at home last year. Tennessee returns the favor… TENNESSEE 38, KANSAS CITY 35

After a season-opening win over the Patriots, the Dolphins have lost five straight. Last week’s loss was the worst of them all, a 23-20 loss to previously winless Jacksonville on a last-second 53-yard field goal. The Falcons had last week off to prepare. That’s important because since 2013 the Falcons are 16-6 in games where they had a rest advantage. Only New Orleans has a better record in the time frame. Advantage Falcons… ATLANTA 24, MIAMI 17

The Jets had a week off to prepare for the Patriots who nearly upset the Dallas Cowboys last week. Rookie QB Mac Jones continues to get better. Remember, New England already has a 25-6 win over the Jets this season. Speaking of rookie QBs, they don’t do well against Bill Belichick. In the first game against the Patriots, the Jets Zack Wilson threw four picks and was sacked four times. It won’t be any easier this time around… NEW ENGLAND 27, NY JETS 17
