Free Betting Pick: Tennessee Titans +4.5
The New England Patriots have underperformed this season despite their 12-4 record as their offense has been terrible, and as we saw last week their defense has faltered down the stretch. The Tennessee Titans offense has been amazing with Ryan Tannehill under center, but that could be accredited to arguably the best RB in the NFL as Derrick Henry has compiled 1540 yards and 16 TDs. The New England defense still ranks 1st in points allowed as they are holding their opponents to an average of 14.1 PPG, but their strength is their secondary which means Henry could be a big part of the game plan. Tom Brady isn’t having a great season which could be due to the lack of targets he has, and he doesn’t want to make a mistake with the talented Tennessee secondary as Kevin Byard and Logan Ryan have combined for 9 interceptions this season. Gillette Stadium is one of the toughest places to play in the NFL, and the Patriots have the best coach in arguably NFL history which is why I will side with them winning this outright, but I believe it comes down to a field goal. Final Score Prediction, New England Patriots win but fail to cover ATS 23-20.
