The New England Patriots - again this year - will host the worst playoff team in the AFC in the Divisional Round. This game against the Tennessee Titans also marks the seventh time that Tom Brady and the Patriots will be favored over a team in the playoffs by 12 or more points.
In those six other games, the Patriots are 5-1 straight up and have covered the spread just twice. The last part bodes well for the Titans, but I predict it won’t matter. The Patriots should win big and cover the spread easily.
The Patriots will find themselves one game away from the Super Bowl again this year and will host the winner of the other Divisional Round game. A game they will likely win as well.
