The Eagles Offense vs. Titans Defense
The Eagles have a top-five level offensive line. At full strength the Titans have a top-ten level front, but both members of their premium defensive tackle duo are on the injury report. If Jeffery Simmons and Denico Autry suit up for this game, this trench matchup is a relative draw. If they both miss, the Eagles’ offensive line will have a moderate advantage in the trenches.

The Titans Offense vs. Eagles Defense
The Titans have a below average offensive line that is down its opening day left tackle and left guard. Tennessee’s starting center and right guard are on the injury report. The Eagles have a top-five level defensive front, and they could be getting back No. 13 overall pick Jordan Davis this week. The Eagles’ defense has a major advantage in the trenches. If Davis returns, that’s a major addition to the Eagles' run defense, which is of great importance against The Big Dog Derrick Henry.

This Is What You’re Betting on in Eagles vs. Titans
A bet on the Eagles is a bet on the league’s best roster. Philadelphia has a number of positional group advantages against the Titans. The Eagles' defense is in a very strong position this week, as their defensive front has a major advantage against Tennessee while the Titans' below average group of pass-catchers could have a real tough day against the Eagles' top-10 secondary. The Eagles have struggled against the run in recent weeks, which is a real concern when squaring off against The Big Dog Derrick Henry. That said, the Eagles' secondary advantage could allow Philadelphia to be more aggressive against the run, while the potential return of monster defensive tackle Jordan Davis could bolster that unit.
The Eagles have the talent on offense to exploit the Titans' very beatable secondary in what could be viewed as an A.J. Brown revenge game. If the Eagles play well, they have the raw materials to cover this spread against the Titans. Your biggest concern as an Eagles bettor is that The Big Dog still finds success while Ryan Tannehill does enough as a passer, primarily off play action, to keep this game close. If Tennessee gets that kind of offensive output and their top-10 defense plays well against a difficult opponent, that’s the path to a Titans cover, if not upset.
A bet on the Titans is a bet on Mike Vrabel’s physical, consistently overachieving football team. The Titans' offense is largely dependent on Henry’s ability to be a difference maker, while Ryan Tannehill plays an efficient game as a passer. Tannehill occasionally has a production swell, like he did against the Packers a few weeks back, but I’m not expecting that against Philadelphia. The Titans have given up 20 or fewer points in each of their last eight games, which includes matchups against the Chiefs and Bengals. If you’re betting on the Titans, you’re betting on their defense at least meeting expectations against yet another difficult opponent. Your primary concern as a Titans bettor is a 24-13 type of loss, where Tennessee’s defense does its part, while the Eagles' defense dominates this game.
Awards Market Ramifications: Hurts is an MVP contender. Henry is both a Comeback Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year candidate. Nick Sirianni is the current Coach of the Year favorite.
Winner/ Confidence Pool: I’m going to be Eagles-heavy in winner pools, but I’m going to take the Titans in one of my pools as a differentiator option. I expect to be a little higher than consensus on this contest in my confidence pool rankings.
Spread Pool: I will take the Eagles or pass against the spread. The Titans are masters of exceeding expectations, but their offense has a very uphill battle in this contest.
Survivor Pool: The Eagles have a number of playable matchups coming in survivor pools, which makes playing them against the Titans unnecessary in most situations.
