Tenne see will be looking to rebound after losing by four points to the Bengals last week at home. The Titans' defense did a good job, allowing only one touchdown pa s by Joe Burrow and holding Cincy's running game to 108 yards. However, the Titans' offense struggled, as Henry was held to 38 yards on 17 carries. It was his second-lowest rushing performance this year, but he should bounce back on Sunday against a struggling Eagles' run defense.As for the Eagles, they defeated the Packers in a high-scoring 40-33 affair on Sunday Night Football. Green Bay's defense did not have any answers for Philadelphia's rushing attack, which ama sed 363 yards on the ground and three touchdowns.

The Eagles haven't been great at covering the spread over the past month, but they were able to cover last week (-6.5) against the Packers. Meanwhile, the total is set at 44.5 points, as this will likely be a relatively low-scoring game between two teams that love to run the football and do it well. Also, both teams have good scoring defenses, as the Titans are allowing 18.6 points per game and the Eagles are giving up 19.6 points per game.The Eagles lead the all-time series over the Titans with a record of 7-5. However, the Titans have won four of the past five matchups dating back to the 2002 season. The last time these two teams played each other was in Week 4 in 2018 when the Titans defeated the Eagles 26-23 at Ni san Stadium. The two starting QBs at the time were Carson Wentz and Marcus Mariota.-- Titans' head coach Mike Vrabel is 14-8 straight up when Tenne see is an underdog on the moneyline between +140 and +325, .-- The Titans are also 15-5 straight up against NFC opponents during Mike Vrabel's tenure, according to BetQL.-- The Eagles are 5-1 against the spread and 5-1 straight up at home this season.Can the Eagles' run defense keep Henry in check?If the Titans want to come away with the win on Sunday, they have to get the ball to Henry and hope he rips off a Dejan Vasiljevic Jersey couple of big runs to set the tone. The Titans are an impre sive 26-4 when the superstar running back rushes for 100-plus yards in a game. Last week, the Bengals held Henry to 38 yards, but it's unlikely the Eagles will be able to duplicate that effort. This season, Philadelphia has allowed 120.7 rushing yards per game but hasn't allowed a 100-yard rusher in three-straight contests. If the Eagles' interior defensive line can clog up the middle, it will go a long way toward determining the outcome on Sunday,The A.J. Brown revenge gameBrown will be facing off against his former team for the first time since they traded him in the offseason. He spent three seasons in Tenne see, scoring 24 touchdowns and developing into a true No. 1 WR. Brown has carried that succe s over to the Eagles, becoming Jalen Hurts' top target with 53 receptions (86 targets) for 831 yards and seven touchdowns. It would not be a surprise to see Brown have a big game on Sunday, especially if the Titans focus on the Eagles' ground game. Tenne see has given up the sixth-most receiving yards and 14 touchdowns to wide receivers this season.Treylon Burks vs. the Eagles' secondarySince returning from a toe injury in Week 10, the rookie wide receiver has played well and started to look like Miami Hurricanes Jersey the prospect we saw coming out of Arkansas, recording 14 catches (20 targets) for 205 yards in the past three games. Burks played 67 percent of offensive snaps last week, which was the second-highest number of snaps he's played this season. The rookie could do some damage against an Eagles' secondary that will be mi sing ballhawk safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson (kidney) and is still without nickel cornerback Avonte Maddox (hamstring). It would not be a shock to see Burks lined up in the slot sometimes, as teams have found succe s against Josiah Scott.29.This is the number of red-zone touchdowns the Eagles have Frank Gore Jersey scored this season. Philadelphia has converted in the red zone at a 72.5-percent clip (first in the NFL), which is one of the big reasons it's 10-1. Meanwhile, the Titans' defense has been good inside the 20 this season, only giving up 16 RZ touchdowns (seventh-fewest in the NFL) and letting offenses convert at a 51.6-percent rate (eighth-fewest). If the Titans want to cover the spread and win straight up, they will need to keep the Eagles out of the end zone whenever they get inside the 20-yard line.Sunday's game at Lincoln Financial Field will be a slugfest. The Eagles' run defense, which has played better lately, will falter a little bit against Henry, who will have succe s and likely score a touchdown. However, the Eagles' offense will lean on its pa sing game, as both Brown and DeVonta Smith will have big games. At the end of the day, Henry will control tempo like we saw the Commanders do against Philly and lead Tenne see to an upset road win.PREDICTION: Titans 21, Eagles 17. The Titans will cover (+4.5), and the total will go UNDER (44).
