The Tennessee Titans and Philadelphia Eagles face off on Sunday in an NFL showdown at Lincoln Financial Field. All eyes are going to be on AJ Brown as he faces his old team.
The Titans come into this game with a 7-4 record overall, and they have gone 8-3 against the spread. In the last game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Titans were competitive, but they ended up losing 20-16. Derrick Henry only rushed for 38 yards, and they need more production from him here. The Titans are averaging 19 points, while their defense is giving up 18.6 points per game. The defense is ranked 7th best in the league, and the defense is going to need to have a big game here. Ryan Tannehill is dealing with an ankle injury, but it’s expected that he’s going to be able to play in this game.
On the other side of this matchup is the Eagles, who sit with a 10-1 record, and they have gone 6-5 against the spread. In the last game against the Green Bay Packers, the offense scored 40 points, and that was enough for the seven-point victory. Jalen Hurts had a big game and finished with 157 yards on the ground. Miles Sanders finished with 21 carries for 143 yards and two touchdowns. The Eagles are averaging 27.55 points, while their defense is giving up 19.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 3rd in the league, while their defense is ranked 9th in the league.
The Titans are 5-0 against the spread in their last five road games. The Eagles are 1-6-1 against the spread in their last eight games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game. The over is 5-0 in the Eagle's last five games as a home favorite.
The Titans are getting too many points here. This same Titans defense gave up only 20 points against the Kansas City Chiefs, and the defense is going to be strong again here. The Eagles might still find a way to win this game, but the Titans are going to keep this game close. Back the Titans against the spread.
