NFL Week 10 2022: 3 teams on upset alert this Sunday
1. NFL Teams That Should Be On Upset Alert In Week 10 – Tennessee Titans
One of the most surprising results in Week 9 came in Kansas City as the short-handed Tennessee Titans nearly pulled off a massive upset against the Chiefs. The Titans took advantage of their ability to match up well with Kansas City by pounding the football with Derrick Henry to control the clock but fell short as the Chiefs escaped with an overtime win.
Rookie Malik Willis played well but there is no question that Tennessee likely would have beaten the Chiefs if Ryan Tannehill was healthy. The Titans could get their starting quarterback back in Week 10 but they have a tough matchup on tap against the Denver Broncos.
Oddsmakers have set Tennessee as three-point favorites over Denver, which is coming off its bye week after beating the Jacksonville Jaguars in London to improve to 3-5. The bye should help Russell Wilson get healthier from some of his nagging ailments and allow the Broncos’ coaching staff to come up with a new plan of attack to try and salvage their season.
This is a dangerous spot for Tennessee, which is at home but is coming off an emotionally draining game that they easily could have won. Denver’s rugged defense will keep them right in this game and the desperation factor for the Broncos could prove to be the difference here.
