NFL WEEK 1 FREE PICK: Take New England. New England is 6-2 ATS L8 on grass. Titans are 0-3-1 ATS L4 overall. The Patriots are once again a favorite to get back to the Super Bowl this year. That’s because QB Tom Brady is back after throwing for 39 TDs and 5,235 yards. TE Rob Gronkowski (90 for 1,327yds, 17 TDs) is a beast in the middle and opens it up for Wes Welker and Brandon Lloyd. The Titans are going with a young quarterback in Jake Locker, who is not known for his accuracy. Expect Bill Belichick to confuse him by disguising his defenses and going after him on certain occasions. RB Stevan Ridley, who averaged 5.1ypc as a rookie, will have a strong game for the Pats.
