Kansas City Chiefs vs Tennessee Titans preview: AFC Championship predictions, odds, TV channel and live stream

Tennessee Titans @ Kansas City Chiefs
NFL AFC Championship game
Venue: Arrowhead Stadium
​Date: Sunday, 19 January, 2020
​Kick-off: 8:05pm GMT

The Kansas City Chiefs will be looking to reach their first Super Bowl since 1969 when they face the Tennessee Titans in the NFL's AFC Championship game today.

Led by last season's MVP Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs finished the regular season with a 12-4 record, and came from 24-0 down to beat the Houston Texans in an epic divisional round match-up last weekend. They will be trying to go one better than last year, when they were eliminated at this stage by eventual champions the New England Patriots.

The Titans, meanwhile, are also chasing their first Super Bowl appearance in a generation, having reached the showpiece for the only time in their history in the 1999 season.

So far on their run, the Titans have knocked out Tom Brady and the Patriots on wildcard weekend, and then upset Super Bowl favourites, the Baltimore Ravens.

Titans running back Derrick Henry has rushed for more than 180 yards in both of the Titans' playoff games so far

TV, online and live stream coverage

Prediction: Chiefs win

After a record-breaking first season as a starter last year, there was a degree of disappointment felt amongst neutrals when Mahomes fell at this stage last season, as the Chiefs lost to the Patriots.

T​he Titans could barely have picked a more difficult route on paper thus far, but this could prove a bridge too far, if the young quarterback shows the kind of form that saw the Chiefs score touchdowns on seven straight drives last weekend.
