Cons
The Titans are a 4.5-point underdog in this week’s game, indicating a passing game script.
The Tennessee Titans have called the least plays in football this year, averaging a mere 52.7 plays per game.
Derrick Henry has rushed for quite a few less yards per game (94.0) this year than he did last year (105.0).
The Philadelphia Eagles defensive ends rank as the best group of DEs in football this year in regard to defending the run.
The Tennessee Titans have faced a stacked the box on 26.4% of their plays since the start of last season, most in football. Bringing an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
