Keep dreaming. There is no way the Tenny offense can keep up with the Pats' offense. Marcus Mariotta's biggest game all year is a two TD game. Yes. That includes running and throwing. TWO TOUCHDOWNS! The Pats turn the ball over the second least than any team in the league. So where are Tenny's points going to come from? Can't keep up.
Tenn rush defense is elite but otherwise they are pretty average team. when you compare league defensive ranks it's hard to justify a 13/13.5 spread though
rush defense rating #1, #2
defensive passer rating #16, #17
defensive yards allowed #21, #30
but it's new england in the playoffs, at home, and we all know they'll score >30 and allow <20. it's just what they do...

Not saying much but they got a better chance than some of the other teams the Pats have played on this opening weekend. They've played so many marginal teams in the first divisional weekend over the years. Tebow-Broncos, Jags w/ both Garrard and Leftwich, Osweiller-Texans last year, Schaub-Texans, Sanchez-Jets (they lost this 1)
Not all of these teams, but a few of them I would give Tenn a better chance than, definitely Texans last year. That team was terrible because of their QB play.
