Tennessee at New England

The New England Patriots recovered from a mini two-game losing streak last week to get back on track. They will be back home this week to take on Tennessee. One thing that is hard to do is to keep the New England offense out of the end-zone, particularly when they play at home. The pats are 36-20 to the OVER at home in their last 56. That number breaks down to 31-16 in their last 47 to the OVER during the regular season. The Patriots have averaged 32.4 points per game over the 47 games, and no team in the league has done that over the period. Tennessee QB Marcus Mariota has played four games in his young NFL career with a total from 43.5-50.5 and all four have gone OVER the total. The Pats offense is slowly getting healthier, and this offense has been impossible to contain. I also think that the Pats will have a comfortable lead late, and may allow an uncontested TD late in the game. Take the OVER.
