New England Patriots vs. Tennessee Titans prediction, odds, Picks & Betting Trends - NFL Week 12 

The resurgent New England Patriots will commence the most challenging stretch of their schedule with a battle against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday at Foxborough. The Titans have been the #1 seed in the AFC for a few weeks and the Patriots will have the chance to leapfrog them, albeit not necessarily to the top of the AFC standings, with a win on Sunday.

New England has won five games on the trot and looks like the Patriots of old that finished top of the division and around the top of the AFC standings year after year. The defense has been stellar; rookie quarterback Mac Jones is playing efficient football, just like his predecessor, who won six Super Bowls with the Patriots, used to. It’s all coming together in New England again, a scary sight for the rest of the league.

The Titans’ injury issues could potentially derail their season. Julio Jones and Derrick Henry’s absence was more evident than ever last week when the Titans defense could only score 13 points against the Houston Texans, who statistically have one of the worst defenses in the NFL. Now A.J. Brown has joined the duo on the injury list, meaning all three of the Titans’ offensive weapons will miss games.

The game will either expose the Patriots as pretenders and elevate Ryan Tannehill’s status in Nashville to God-like, or the Titans will be another victim of Bill Belichick’s mastery.

New England Patriots vs. Tennessee Titans betting picks

The Patriots’ defense has been stingy and hasn’t given up a point in the last seven quarters of football. Without Derrick Henry, Julio Jones and A.J. Brown, the Titans’ offense will heavily depend on Ryan Tannehill standing in the pocket and making plays with his arm. That’s a recipe for disaster against a Bill Belichick-assembled defense.

Take the under and expect the Patriots to cover the spread.

New England Patriots vs. Tennessee Titans betting trends

The Patriots are 3-0 in their last three games against the spread. New England’s stingy defense has been an issue for the game totals, as New England’s past three games have hit the over only once.

The Titans have covered the spread only once in their past three outings. Tennessee’s offensive struggles have also been detrimental to the game totals, as their matches have hit the over only once in the last three games.

New England Patriots vs. Tennessee Titans key injuries

New England Patriots

The Patriots have an exhaustive list of players on their injury report, but it’s usually mind games from Belichick rather than the team always having a ton of players questionable to play on a Sunday.

But reading between the lines, Patriots defensive star Christian Barmore and offensive lineman Trent Brown did miss practice on Thursday. They returned in a limited capacity on Friday but are the most likely candidates to sit Sunday’s game out.

Tennessee Titans

The Titans will be without plenty of crucial contributors against the Patriots on Sunday.

They won’t have wide receiver A.J. Brown available, who is now on the injured reserves list and will miss a few weeks. Linebacker Rashaan Evans and guard Nate Davis are also out for the game on Sunday.

New England Patriots vs. Tennessee Titans head-to-head

The Patriots and Titans have faced each other 44 times in the NFL. New England leads the head-to-head series 25-18-1.

The Titans snapped the Patriots’ seven-game winning streak against them in 2018 with a resounding 34-10 victory. They then beat New England in Foxborough in the infamous AFC Wildcard game, which proved to be Tom Brady’s final outing as a Patriot.

New England Patriots vs. Tennessee Titans prediction

The Patriots are hot and have all the momentum as well as home-field advantage in this game. The Titans are ravaged by injuries and are coming off a morale-deflating loss against one of the worst teams in the league. This will be the game that elevates New England as the favorites to win the AFC.

Prediction: New England wins by at least 14 points.
