Titans @ Patriots - Who Wins?

As long as Ravens don't win the SB....

Sorry if I am repeating something already said.........as said previously we have another coach/team whomknows all about the patriots ........and they have a running game if hendry is fit.........going to be tough especially after the loss to Miami

I am actually shocked that this high of a percentage thinks the Pats will win after reading the board this morning.

In 2009 when the pats were being blown out by the saints, BB leaned over to Brady and said “I just can’t get this team to do what I want them to do”, I’m seeing a lot of that again this year. We don’t have any reliable playmakers on offense like in years past with gronk and Edelman, Devlin is on IR so we can’t do hard nose run it down your throat offense like last year and the defense is good but they’ve been regressing the past few weeks

I'm not seeing any of that.

09 was a locker room issue and the team was soft as ****. With Welker going down that team folded its tents at the first sign of trouble.

I don't see that at all with this team. They are a tough bunch. Their problem is talent and execution, as opposed to guts and mental toughness.

I think this team needs to just play to their strengths and they’ll be fine. Defense has been on fire for most of the year, they need to be physical and not allow any big plays. Stick with what works

Execution more than talent, though at some point the two conflate.

I’m not. Past isn’t prologue in the NFL.

We need Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr healthy. That'll solve a lot of problems.

I'm surprised it's not higher.

Look, I live in the Nashville viewing area so I see a lot of them. The Titans have a nice little team, I like a lot of their players. But they're not THAT good. They lost a bunch of games they should have won because they shoot themselves in the foot all the time. They play up to good teams and down to bad teams. That kind of inconsistency doesn't get you too far in the playoffs, especially not against an experienced team and a coach like Belichick. Pats will win this game, I have no doubt about that. It will probably be an extremely ugly win, but they'll win.

Unless a miracle happens, he won’t be healthy until next season. They needed the bye badly.

I’d rather play Tenn than the Bills on Saturday.

Thats what I was most pissed about. Not the loss to MIA but the opportunity lost to rest and heal up.

Immobilization of the forearm is key for tennis elbow. d%#*!@t.

Have to think about this one...the Titans aren't on the same level as the Dolphins and Tannehill's certainly no Fitzpatrick, but I think they'll still probably give the Pats a good game.

so are the bills. not even convinced the titans are better than the bills.

it's not surprising, but i would say people in here are being a bit too reactionary. pats are absolutely favored in this game

Pats getting 3 for being home team...1.5 points for better team.......That's a razor thin margin to win this........If it wasn't for being a homer I would probably take the Titans......

I can easily see them laying an egg at home again. The bye was needed to go all the way this year. Especially with Jules and Brady injuries.

If they do beat Tennessee...they won't go into arrowhead with this RZ O and O in general.

Titans at +5.5 is a great bet here...this will be close

Pats are 4-4 vs the spread and 4-4 for the over/under at home this year.

Maddening.

If we beat Tennessee, we have a shot against KC. And if we beat KC, we have a punchers chance against Baltimore.

I agree. One game at a time. That's how legendary postseason runs are made.

Who?



Oh, him.

Well, he was just ten days old when...

PRESEASON - August 13th 1977 - New England 38, Green Bay 3

If they defense had a made a stop yesterday and titans went into KC and beat them and then came to play us in the divisional round would people still pick the titans to win @NE. ? Thats how the thin margin of error is. Titans are probably playing better than the pats or more consistently but there really isnt much carry over week to week.
