Arian Foster Previews Patriots vs. Titans Week One Match-Up

Two teams, both of which endured disappointment in 2011, get together to kick off the 2012 NFL season in downtown Nashville on Sept. 9 at 1 p.m. ET. Check out Arian Foster as he gives his bread and butter for both teams.

The New England Patriots enter the Volunteer State looking to erase the bitter reality from losing the Super Bowl, despite being favored over the New York Giants. Following the loss, the Patriots restocked by signing wide receiver Brandon Lloyd and selecting linebacker Dont'a Hightower and defensive end Chandler Jones in the draft.

Ultimately, it comes down to two-time NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady. He is the leader and will determine the Patriots' fate for the season.

On the other sideline stands the Tennessee Titans, a team that failed to capitalize on a weak AFC South in 2011. One could point to injuries endured by Matt Hasselbeck and Kenny Britt, but running back Chris Johnson, the focal point of the Titans offense, had a subpar season.

In Week 1, Johnson and the Titans look for a fresh start, but it will be a tall task with Belichick's boys in town.
