The New England Patriots (2-6) visit the Tennessee Titans (1-6) Sunday. Kickoff from Nissan Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Patriots vs. Titans odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

New England escaped with a 25-22 win over the New York Jets Oct. 27 while covering as a 7-point underdog. The Week 8 contest was tightly contested, but a missed FG and missed extra point by the Jets proved to be critical for New England’s win. The Patriots ended a 6-game losing streak with the victory.

Tennessee was embarrassed 52-14 by the Detroit Lions Oct. 27, failing to cover as a 13-point underdog. The Titans turned the ball over 4 times and allowed 38 unanswered points after tying the game at 14 early in the second quarter. Tennessee has lost 3 straight.

Patriots at Titans picks and predictions

Prediction

Patriots 21, Titans 18

Moneyline

LEAN PATRIOTS (+150).

New England is the slightly better team, and if Maye is able to play, it will look much better on offense than Tennessee. I also have more faith in this New England team as a whole than I do in Tennessee, so lean towards the better offense and QB in this tightly contested matchup.

This is a lean because I am not a fan of betting on both a team’s ML and spread, so it is safer to bet on just the spread and avoid the ML here, but the moneyline is worth playing.

Against the spread

BET PATRIOTS +3.5 (-115).

New England is the better team, especially if Maye can go, and with the Patriots riding hot after beating New York, they have the momentum in this matchup. Look for the Patriots to make this a close game, whether they win or lose.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 38 (-110).

Tennessee allows 28 opponent points per game, a number that is slightly inflated after being blown out by Detroit, but is still significant. I expect New England, if Maye is able to go, to find success against this Tennessee defense. New England’s defense also allows 24.6 points per game, so the Over is a pretty safe bet here.

This is a lean because these teams have some of the worst offenses in the league despite being solid defensively.

New England Patriots at Tennessee Titans odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s New England Patriots at Tennessee Titans odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New England Patriots (1-1) visit the Tennessee Titans (1-1) Friday in the final week of the NFL preseason. Kickoff from Nassan Stadium is at 8:15 p.m. ET (NFL Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Patriots vs. Titans odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

New England picked up a 21-17 victory over the Green Bay Packers in an abbreviated preseason game on Saturday. The game ended with 10:29 remaining in the 4th quarter as Patriots CB Isaiah Bolden was carted off with an apparent head injury following a collision with a teammate. Bolden remained in the hospital overnight and was released Sunday morning; the team canceled joint practices with the Titans this week and headed home to regroup.

QB Mac Jones made his preseason debut, completing 6-of-9 passes for 52 yards. Newly acquired RB Ezekiel Elliott did not appear in the game; RB Rhamondre Stevenson ran with the starters, picking up 27 yards and a TD on 4 carries.

Tennessee also recorded a victory in its 2nd preseason game, knocking off the Minnesota Vikings 24-16 Saturday. QB Malik Willis played the complete game, connecting of 10-of-17 passes for 85 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT and adding 91 rushing yards on 11 carries. Rookie RB Tajae Spears finished with 57 yards on 7 carries while RB Julius Chestnut paced the backfield with 98 yards on 13 carries. Starters rested on both sides of the ball for both teams.

Patriots at Titans odds

Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 7:25 a.m. ET.

  • Moneyline (ML): Patriots -140 (bet $140 to win $100) | Titans +115 (bet $100 to win $115)
  • Against the spread (ATS): Patriots -2 (-110) | Titans +2 (-110)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 38.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Patriots at Titans picks and predictions

Prediction

Titans 20, Patriots 17

Moneyline

The Packers moved the ball efficiently on the ground against the Patriots in the 2nd week of the preseason, recording 119 yards and a TD on 29 carries. RBs Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon and Emanuel Wilson helped move the sticks comfortably.

The Titans’ primary offense focus is the ground game. Tennessee had 40 carries as a team last week, with Chestnut, Willis and Spears all averaging over 7 yards per carry. If the Titans prioritize the run as they did against the Vikings they should find success against the Patriots reserves.

New England is also likely to feature plenty of QBs Trace McSorley and Malik Cunningham. Either by design, or by the shortened game, neither played in the 2nd week of the preseason. However, neither looked particularly impressive in the preseason opener and could lead to stalled drives for the Patriots.

Given the unknowns of the preseason and the value that can be found with the home side, go with a PARTIAL UNIT PLAY ON TENNESSEE (+115).

Against the spread

There’s no need to get cute here with such a tight spread. The better value is with the underdog on the moneyline, and anything short of 3 and a hook worth of insurance isn’t worth any action. Focus on the moneyline and/or total instead.

PASS.

Over/Under

I anticipate a slow game considering Tennessee’s penchant for running the ball and the likelihood of both sides struggling to be efficient in the passing game. A few turnovers should be in store on Friday, and that should be enough to keep this one UNDER 38.5 (-110).
