New England looks to stay in the win column against the Titans in Week 9.
Following a much needed win, the New England Patriots will head to Nashville where they’ll look to begin their first winning streak of the season.
After spending the week in concussion protocol, quarterback Drake Maye is good to go to take on Mason Rudolph and the Tennessee Titans.

Patriots picks
Oliver Thomas: The six-game losing streak is in the rearview for Jerod Mayo. But the Patriots will head to Nissan Stadium as underdogs. Even against another seller at the NFL trade deadline. One that just lost by a score of 52-14 while Calvin Ridley drew 15 of Mason Rudolph’s 38 pass attempts. It’s just a winnable game regardless of who is starting at quarterback. | Patriots 24, Titans 16
Brian Hines: With Drake Maye good to go, New England should be able to generate enough offense to get by Tennessee, who are banged up entering Sunday. Focusing on slowing down the run game and allowing Christian Gonzalez to take out Calvin Ridley will put the ball in Mason Rudolph’s hand — a matchup the Patriots’ defense should win. Despite entering the week as an underdog, the Patriots look to be in a good spot to start their first two-game winning streak of the season. | Patriots 23, Titans 10
Bernd Buchmasser: The Patriots may enter Sunday as 3-point road underdogs, but they should be competitive against the 1-6 Titans. That is especially true given that the team is trending in the right direction health-wise: Drake Maye is back, and the rest of the team also appears to be in its best shape in weeks. An increase in continuity should help especially in the trenches, where New England has struggled so far this season. If this is the case — and I believe it to be — New England leaving Nashville with a win should be in the cards. | Patriots 21, Titans 13
