Watch the New England Patriots go against the Tennessee Titans live, with kickoff beginning on Sunday, Sept. 9, at 1 p.m. ET.

The game, taking place at LP Field in Nashville, will play on CBS and on DIRECTV Channel 712. Online, the official site for the NFL provides viewers with Audio Pass to listen to streaming of the entire game, and also a full replay of the game. However, some sites, such as htosports.com, do provide free and live video streaming of the game.

According to NFL league rankings, the Patriots are No. 2 in offense and passing, while the Titans do not even make the top ten in those catagories. Their last head-to-head game was in 2009 and the Patriots won 59-0. In other words, the Patriots might have a slight edge in the game, already knowing how to defeat the Titans. New England also has star athlete Tom Brady as their top passing leader and their win would be the team's ninth straight season-opening victory.

Many reports are expecting a big Patriots win, especially with Titans player Jake Locker starting in his first game as a quarterback, a play that many are skeptical about. Tennessee is also minus their star wide receiver Kenny Britt, who was suspended from the game following issues with the law.

New England won its eighth AFC East title in nine years last year and, according to the Associated Press, the team "is set to play its first meaningful game" since losing to the New York Giants in February's Super Bowl. The team plans to make it to the end this season as well, but take home the trophy this time.

All eyes will be on Brady and the team's offense abilities. The team also improved their defense after drafting Chandler Jones and Dont'a Hightower.

"We have plenty of players that can make a contribution on offense," player Josh McDaniels said. "Hopefully, every skill player that plays in the game has an opportunity to make some plays for us, whether that be in the backfield or tight end or at the receivers position."

The NFL Playoffs are from Jan. 5 - 20, followed by the Senior Bowl on Jan. 26, the Pro Bowl a day later, and finally Super Bowl XLVII on Feb. 3.
