Once again the Patriots control their destiny for the top seed in the AFC and can clinch by winning out. However, I would prefer that they clinch in Week 16 and rest in Week 17 instead. Either way, the Patriots need this game in order to get Home Field Advantage in the playoffs to force teams to come to Foxboro. The Titans are a speed bump in the Patriots hype train, but it’s also an opportunity to clean up some of the mistakes that’s affected them on Special Teams and Offense. This may turn out to be a glorified practice game or it will a close game that the Patriots don’t want to be in. If the Patriots get out to an early and comfortable lead, they can use the rest of the game as essentially a practice for the Jets and to get their guys ready for the postseason.
