Philadelphia Eagles vs Tennessee Titans – NFL Prediction
Match Preview
Left guard Landon Dickerson is headed to IR with a knee injury, but Philadelphia still enters Week 2 holding all the momentum after pulling out a 24-22 win over Washington. Meanwhile, Tennessee sits at 0-1 following a brutal 23-10 loss to the Jets. Can first-year head coach Robert Saleh find a way to get this Titans offense off the ground? I have my doubts.

Saquon Barkley looked every bit like a true primary weapon in Week 1, racking up 83 yards on 15 carries for a sweet 5.5 per run. What jumps out to me is how Philadelphia leaned on him to steady the ship in that two-point win over Washington. Even with backup Will Shipley taking more snaps than Tank Bigsby behind him, this ground game gives them a high floor every single week.
Losing Dickerson on the interior offensive line hurts, forcing Drew Kendall or Willie Lampkin into a tough spot. But look at the big picture. The Eagles dropped four straight before opening week, falling 30-13 to Cincinnati, 24-21 to New England, 24-7 to Baltimore, and 23-19 to San Francisco. That win over the Commanders was a massive weight off their shoulders. They average around 266 total yards per game and do not throw for much, but taking care of the football with just 0.4 turnovers a game keeps them in charge.

What are the Titans actually doing on offense right now? Over their first nine possessions against the Jets, Saleh’s offense produced seven first downs, 130 total yards, one field goal, one fumble, and seven punts. That is painful to watch. Quarterback Cam Ward finished with 140 passing yards and a touchdown to Elic Ayomanor, but 57 of those yards and the score came on a single late drive in the fourth quarter. Take that away, and this passing attack was virtually invisible.
Tennessee has dropped three of its last five, including a 24-15 loss to Chicago and a 41-7 beating from Jacksonville. Averaging around 272 total yards and 100 on the ground will not cut it against Philadelphia. Unless Ward makes a massive leap from his Week 1 struggles, Tennessee is going to be stuck in neutral all game.
Head-to-Head Record
| Date | Stage | Match | Score | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-12-04 | Regular Season | Philadelphia Eagles vs Tennessee Titans | 35-10 | Philadelphia Eagles |
| Team | Wins |
|---|---|
| Philadelphia Eagles | 1 |
| Draws | 0 |
| Tennessee Titans | 0 |
These two teams last met in December 2022, when the Eagles completely dismantled Tennessee in a 35-10 blowout. Does a result from nearly two years ago dictate what happens this weekend? Not entirely, but the talent gap remains just as wide. Philadelphia is simply the far more reliable unit.

Losing Landon Dickerson to IR hurts Philadelphia’s push up front, while Tennessee is thin on defense with Joshua Williams on I.L. and Cedric Gray questionable. Neither side has a clean bill of health, but Dickerson’s absence is the one that directly impacts game planning.
Betting Analysis & Tips
| Market | Selection | Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Moneyline | Philadelphia Eagles | 1.26 |
| Moneyline | Tennessee Titans | 3.47 |
| Total | Over/Under | 39.5 |
Oddsmakers set the total at 39.5, but our analysis projects a low-scoring affair closer to 31 points. Sports Illustrated is laying the points with Philly at -7, and I agree with the consensus that Tennessee cannot score enough to hang around. I see major value on the under given how much Tennessee’s offense sputtered in Week 1.
Final Prediction
My gut says Philadelphia controls the tempo and relies heavily on Saquon Barkley to secure the road win. Dickerson’s knee injury gives me a tiny bit of pause about their push up front, but Tennessee’s offense is too broken to take advantage. I am taking the Eagles to control this game and take down a 19-12 victory.
| Predicted Score | Philadelphia Eagles 19 – 12 Tennessee Titans |
| Most Likely Result | Philadelphia Eagles Win |
