In a matchup of two teams who are struggling at the close to mid-way point of the season, the Patriots are headed to Tennessee to take on the Titans. Both teams are dealing with plenty of injuries respectively. The biggest questions come at the quarterback positions for both teams. Drake Maye suffered a concussion in Week 8, meanwhile, Will Levis is questionable as he deals with a shoulder injury. Below are my Patriots at Titans Preview and Predictions.
After winning their first game of the season, the Patriots won their second game last week in an upset victory against division foe Jets. Furthermore, the Titans have certainly fallen well under expectations this season as they have won only one game. The Titans come into this game against the Patriots with significant injuries on the offensive side. The Titans could be without Tony Pollard who is dealing with a foot injury and has not participated in practice all week. Additionally, the Titans could be without Tyler Boyd who is dealing with a shoulder injury and also has not practiced.
Meanwhile, the Patriots could see Jacoby Brissett starting for the Patriots. There are plenty of questionable tags coming into this game for the Patriots as of Friday’s injury report.
Patriots at Titans Preview and Predictions
Best Bets
The early season darling for “sharp” bettors has been the Titans who are just 1-6 ATS. The question in this game becomes who steps up for the Titans’ offense with all the injuries. Calvin Ridley had a big week last week against the Lions in a game where it was tied 14-14 and was then outscored by 37 points.
The bright spot for the Titans has been their defense which has played at an elite level outside of the game last week. With the Patriots coming off a huge division game last week, this could be a flat spot this week. Since the 2022 season, when the Patriots are coming off a home division win and are on the road, they are 0-4 SU and 0-4 ATS getting outscored by 17 points. I am going to pinch my nose and take the Titans this week.
Best Bet: Titans -3.5
Player Prop Best Bet
Hunter Henry Over 38.5 Receiving Yards
Over the last three weeks, the Titans’ defense has struggled against tight end position. Each of the last three tight ends has gone over this projection. In fact, in the last three weeks, the tight ends are averaging 59.3 receiving yards per game. Furthermore, Henry has gone over the projection in three straight weeks for the Patriots.
