Eagles vs Titans Prediction
In this Eagles vs Titans Prediction, the Eagles are coming as -6.5 road favorites. Both teams are coming off opposite outcomes in their opening games of the season, with the Titans losing their season opener at home by scoring just 10 points, while the Eagles won on the road but are forced to play a second straight game away from home to start the season. They were one of the best road teams in the NFL last season with a 6-3 record and 10-7 ATS, while the Titans were one of the worst home teams with a 1-8 record and 7-10 ATS, so I like the Eagles in this one. Take the Eagles and lay the -6.5 on the road.
