The Tennessee Titans (1-6) will host the New England Patriots (2-6) at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee on Sunday afternoon.
Opening the week, the Titans were listed as 3-point home favorites and the spread has improved a bit with Tennessee now at -3.5 as of this writing.
Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 9 matchup:
| Expert | Pick | Score (if applicable) |
| Dan Graziano (ESPN) | Patriots | N/A |
| Matt Bowen (ESPN) | Patriots | N/A |
| Seth Wickersham (ESPN) | Patriots | N/A |
| Pete Prisco (CBS) | Titans | 21-16 |
| John Breech (CBS) | Titans | 19-16 |
| Jordan Dajani (CBS) | Titans | 13-10 |
| Nate Davis (USA TODAY) | Patriots | 23-16 |
| Lorenzo Reyes (USA TODAY) | Patriots | 17-16 |
| Bill Bender (Sporting News) | Patriots | 21-20 |
| Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News) | Patriots | 20-17 |
After three straight weeks of unanimous doubt, the above panel finally sees some hope for the Titans this Sunday, but we stress the word “some.” Seven of the 10 are still leaning toward New England with almost all expecting an ugly, low-scoring affair.
That trend was a bit more varied among other NFL experts and analysts with 57 percent picking the Titans to win, according to NFL Pickwatch.
Fans are even more confident in Tennessee this week with 60 percent predicting a Titans victory.
