Titans at Patriots odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Patriots 20, Titans 17
Money line
The Titans have weathered a lot this season. They enter this week with a ton of injuries. However, the defense has stepped up over the last few weeks, allowing an average of 18.3 points in the last five games.
However, without both Brown and Julio Jones, who is on injured reserve, as well as being without Derrick Henry, who is also on IR, Tennessee will not be able to generate enough offense.
The Patriots, on the other hand, have been great defensively as well, having allowed a total of 13 points in three weeks.
Because of the line where it is, though, PASS on the money line.
Against the spread
The Titans failed to cover the spread in their last two games but are 7-4 ATS overall this season. They have not covered the spread in any of their three losses.
The Pats are also 7-4 ATS but they have covered the spread in their last five games. The Titans will keep this game close. Ultimately, the Pats will do too much but the Titans will cover.
Take the TITANS +6.5 (-103).
Over/Under
The Titans are allowing an average of 18.6 points per game over their last five games. The Patriots are allowing only 10 points per game over their last five.
That combined with the Titans’ best offensive players being out means a low-scoring game.
Take UNDER 43.5 (-112).
