Not only have the Patriots played well the last 5 games, but they've been pretty lucky too. There's no way they lose this game at home after 10 days.Big game, to say the least.
Strikes me as generous. If I could bring myself to bet against the Pats, I'd strongly consider doing so here.Patriots opened as 5 1/2 point favorites
How do you anticipate the Titans will move the ball without a credible offensive threat?Strikes me as generous. If I could bring myself to bet against the Pats, I'd strongly consider doing so here.

Vrabel plays both sides of the ball. How quickly you forget.How do you anticipate the Titans will move the ball without a credible offensive threat?
That's good for this game. What are the chances BB goes 0-3 against Mile Vrabel?The Patriots are 0-2 vs the Titans since Vrabel took over. Before that they were on a seven game winning streak against them. I know there's not much analytical significance to this post but Vrabel is in my head a little bit.
I suppose that depends on how credible you believe A.J. Brown to be. Obviously, this team isn't the same without Derrick Henry, but I think they have the talent to keep it within 4.How do you anticipate the Titans will move the ball without a credible offensive threat?
A.J. Brown likely won't be 100%. Some injuries are easier to play through than others. Rib injuries suck and are hard to ignore.I suppose that depends on how credible you believe A.J. Brown to be.

well AJ Brown has a chest injury and is not certain to play. He also has 24 targets in the last 3 games, without Henry, and has turned that into 106 yards total (or 35 yards per game) and 0 TDs. He has 2 out of 10 games where he has more than 100 yards this year. He’s certainly a credible name, but I’m not too sure we should be banking on the Titans getting more than 14 points because of him.I suppose that depends on how credible you believe A.J. Brown to be.

The exact same as him going 0-1 and 0-2 against Mike Vrabel ?That's good for this game. What are the chances BB goes 0-3 against Mile Vrabel?
Evidence continues to mount that Mac Jones is a perfect fit for Bill Belichick and the Patriots. The one Thanksgiving side he can’t do without? “Mashed potatoes and gravy,” he tells

Question: One side dish on the table for Thanksgiving? Bill Belichick (to @TheGregHillShow): "Oh boy. It would be hard for me to turn down any type of potatoes. I'll go with whatever -- mashed potatoes, scalloped, baked ... Load 'em up. Throw some butter on there. Starch me up."

Mac Jones won't even engage in the PEE-can or Pa-cawn pie debate. "I don't like that."
How can they get a peak performance when Derrick Henry, Julio Jones, and possibly AJ Brown are all out?The Titans are a well run., successful, physical and proud franchise under Vrabel. Coming off a brutally embarrassing performance, I imagine you will get a peak performance from them on Sunday.
four 9-7 seasons followed by last year’s 11-5. They’ve been pretty good but not that successful to my way of looking at things.The Titans are a well run., successful, physical and proud franchise under Vrabel.

That's 2 seasons under Mularkey, 1 season of Vrabel with Mariota. Then a season they were 7-3 with Tannehill as the starter in 2019 and 11-5 in 2020. Plus their record this year I think you're distorting the facts by a lot. I'm not saying they're great or good in their current form but your cherry picking of "four 9-7 seasons" is Eric Van level.four 9-7 seasons followed by last year’s 11-5. They’ve been pretty good but not that successful to my way of looking at things.
A well run franchise probably doesn’t sign an ancient AP nor do they grind Henry into the dirt using him at a rate almost double a normal NFL back. Big surprise that Peterson is averaging 3 yards/carry.
Like the Falcons after getting completely demolished by Dallas. They came out angry and embarrassed and then the Pats proceeded to embarrass them.The Titans are a well run., successful, physical and proud franchise under Vrabel.

Tennesee just doesn’t make sense to me.18th in DVOA. They have allowed more yards than they have gained. Take out Henry and Jones, I think the 5.5 line is right on.Like the Falcons after getting completely demolished by Dallas.

The Titans are running out of offensive players. You can't win when you lose all your players, including the best RB in football. But Vrabel is a great coach and the Titans will be ready to do their best. But the Pats are clicking on all cylinders right now. They are going to win.
If the "impossible" happens, your tagline changes to "my user name sucks"Impossible
They've had good luck in close games(3-1 in games decided by 3 points or less) and lately have forced a lot of turnovers that have led to short fields. Their pass rush has plugged a lot of defensive holes. Without Henry, Tannehill has to carry the load on his shoulders and I don't think he is capable of doing that.Tennesee just doesn’t make sense to me.18th in DVOA.

Rams game was especially weird. Titans offense had only two drives that went more than 28 yards all game. They scored TDs on both of them, and also had a pair of Stafford interceptions lead directly into TDs (1st-and-goal on Rams 2; pick-6). Titans defense did a good job in the first half but the Rams were able to move the ball in the second half. Problem was they were already down 21-3 at halftime thanks to the turnovers.Somehow, the Titans have beaten the Colts, Chiefs, Rams, and Bills, but lost to the Jets and Texans, two of the worst teams in the league. Maybe they have a problem with playing down to the level of their opponents?
Feels right. During this stretch their average margin was 25 points and while they didn't play any world beaters, other than the Jets every team they played was at least mediocre.
With the line now up to 6.5, I'm reminded why I only bet small sums on football.Strikes me as generous. If I could bring myself to bet against the Pats, I'd strongly consider doing so here.
Your post implies that a return from NFI is similar to PUP in terms of 3 weeks of practice before the team must put him on the 53 or send him to season-ending IR. Is that correct?McGrone had the ACL injury at the end of last season, right? I am not expecting anything from him this year, but the fact that he is back practicing (expecting a year end IR in 3 weeks) bodes well for next year.
Yes, it is. McGrone and Bledsoe have 21 days to practice before they have to be put on the active roster or go back on IR for the year.Your post implies that a return from NFI is similar to PUP in terms of 3 weeks of practice before the team must put him on the 53 or send him to season-ending IR.

The #24 is 2021 draftee Joshua Bledsoe and the #19 is a Punter -- Corliss Waitman (likely on the PS).Cam McGrone is practicing for the first time all season after spending the entire time on NFI.
