Following their sixth Super Bowl championship a year ago the Patriots received justifiable accolades. In an era rigged for parity and against dynasties New England cracked the code. More emphatically they were tabbed as the top favorite for NFL bets to win yet another Super Bowl. This year has been much more of a struggle than anticipated. The retirement of Gronk has clogged up the offense. For that reason, the Patriots did not earn a first-round bye. Tennessee will come calling on Saturday night. In comparison the Titans were one of the hottest teams down the stretch.
