CBS Sports picks

Here’s what the eight CBS Sports experts are thinking with their picks in the Tennessee-New England contest.

Pete Prisco: New England (27-19)

Jason La Canfora: Tennessee

Will Brinson: New England

Jared Dubin: New England

Ryan Wilson: New England

John Breech: Tennessee

Dave Richard: New England

Jamey Eisenberg: New England

Of the eight experts making picks for CBS Sports, six are rolling with New England, while two are going with Tennessee.

Clearly this is another group of experts that isn’t exactly buying into the idea that Tennessee is the better team as others have, and rightfully so, New England finished with a better record and has dominated the NFL over the past two decades.

The Titans are the new kids on the block and have to prove they belong, and what better way to do that than to grab a win in Foxborough.

Pete Prisco, who sees the Pats winning 27-19, believes New England will take away Derrick Henry and force Ryan Tannehill to win the game with his arm. He also notes that Tannehill is 0-6 during his career when playing in Foxborough.
