The Tennessee Titans will host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in an NFL Week 2 matchup, with the teams entering the game after contrasting opening-week results.

Philadelphia beat Washington 24–22 in Week 1, securing the result with a late two-point conversion stop. Jalen Hurts threw three touchdown passes, including two to Dallas Goedert, while the Eagles’ defence restricted Jayden Daniels to 164 passing yards at 4.8 yards per attempt.

The Eagles’ main concern was protection. Their offensive line allowed three sacks and sustained repeated pressure on Hurts.

Tennessee lost 23–10 at home to the New York Jets. Quarterback Cam Ward completed 59.4 per cent of his passes for 140 yards, while the Titans produced 195 net yards and Ward was sacked three times.

FOX Sports’ preview points to Philadelphia’s defence and Tennessee’s offensive difficulties as the basis for its prediction that the Eagles will win comfortably. It also notes that the Titans allowed Breece Hall to rush for more than 100 yards, a weakness Philadelphia could seek to exploit through Saquon Barkley.

FOX Sports has published odds and viewing information for the game, but the supplied material does not include the complete betting figures or broadcast details.
