The stage is set. The Tennessee Titans are en route to Foxborough, MA, masquerading as David. Can the Titans topple Goliath at Gillette?

It’s true — the New England Patriots look vulnerable. Despite boasting the league’s best defense — allowing 14.1 points per game — the Patriots offense led by QB Tom Brady has looked stagnant. The run-game has looked ineffective, primarily due to injuries along the offensive line, but the passing game has not looked über impressive, either. Rumors of Brady exiting New England have already started to swirl, and for the first time in a long time, the future of the Patriots organization is unknown.

Don’t get it twisted, this won’t be easy. The Patriots are still the reigning champs, and this is still January football in Foxborough. Bill Belichick is still the greatest coach ever to grace the sidelines, and Brady is still the GOAT.
This game is going to be an all-out brawl, and it should come down to the final seconds.

Edge: Tennessee. The Titans have a little something extra right now — balance. Key to the game? Fundamentals. Tackle well, take care of the football, and let winter storm “Henry” devastate. Titans win on the road.

Titans 21, Patriots 20
