Despite all the positive talk toward the Titans this week, analysts still overwhelmingly favor NE.

I've listened to a ton of predictions on the game. 

 

The people picking the Pats do so because they don't seem to believe the Pats will end it all like this. They cannot use an example of why the Pats have the advantage on the field with X's and O's. they couldn't even beat the Fins last week at home with almost as much on the line. 

 

It's the NFL so anything can happen but I believe if this game was played 100 times the most common outcome would be the Titans winning by double digits.

Its hard to know whether Brady/Patriots have one more good performance left in this dynasty, the Titans are going to be facing a highly emotionally charged team/crowd that likely knows this is Brady's last game at home regardless of whether they win or lose.

 

No question the Titans are the better and more talented team at this very minute in time but unfortunately the best team is never guaranteed a win.

I think the Pats are going to try to play power football like they did in the playoffs last year. But unlike last year, they're not a good running team. They really really miss Gronk. No Develin, Andrews, or Trent Brown either. Those guys were maulers for them in the run game last year.

 

Their offense doesn't scare me. Edelman is pretty banged up. They have no deep threat. No one that scares you like Gronk did. And Brady is declining. I think we'll see a lot of James White. We did a good job against him last year which gives me some confidence we can do it again.

 

If we lose, it'll be because the O gets dominated and gives up TO.  If we can play a relatively clean game, I have confidence we can win.

I think it all comes down to can the Pats fluster Tannehill, which is a possibilty, especially with the weather conditions.  Once that's done, they can contain Henry enough to win. 

 

If they can't fluster Tannehill, I think we have a good shot.  

 

Our secondary is pourous, and that's my biggest concern.  The Pats will take advantage.  It's really a matter of if the offense can respond, which goes back to if they can fluster Tannehill.

We'll win and all the media coverage will be about the end of the Patriots dynasty and the footnote will be that we won.


In fairness, if the Titans win at New England with Brady looking to have played his last game as a Patriot, that’s pretty big news in the overall NFL landscape.....
