Tennessee Titans @ New England Patriots
Tennessee after a season with a nice 10-0, "decided" to change to a 0-5 and probably they will extend this bad start to a 0-6. The Titans D which was their stronger unit, has been awful, and despite some important injuries, they should not been so bad, mainly against the passing game, they haven't been able to stop the opponent's offense and that is the main reason for the Titans having a losing record so far. The Titans O has showed anything yet, they are quite good on the rushing game, but their passing game hasn't got them anywhere, which makes this offensive unit very predictable for the opponent's defense.
New England is in a variable form, or they play quite well or they simply forget how to play this game, but the bad moments have happened more often on the road, because their home record shows good performances and nice wins to lift their morale. They have one of the best quarterbacks ever to set foot in the NFL and have stellar offense, I think on this game we will see WR Randy Moss running deep in the field and catching some express-deep passes from QB Tom Brady and therefore exploiting quickly the weak spots that the Titans defense has already showed this season. The Patriots D has played very well so far, if we "discount" some silly mistakes done by the younger players, which is something we should expect in the early season.
Patriots playing at home usually does good performances and doesn't let their backers down, they already had several good wins at home and I believe that they will win this game by 10 or more points against a (so far) lousy Titans team.
