After a disappointing outcome their last time out, the Tennessee Titans now turn their attention to arguably the NFL’s best team this season, the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles are set to host the Titans in what will undoubtedly be an emotional afternoon.

For starters, outside of a Washington team that was 1-3 entering their Week 5 contest, Tennessee has not won a single game against a team with a winning record.

As you would expect, this only amplifies the belief of those that were already skeptical about the Titans’ ceiling. More importantly, the Titans need to prove to themselves that they’re capable of winning games against top-notch teams.

On top of all this, it will also be A.J. Brown’s first game against his old team. Brown hasn’t exactly been shy about voicing his newfound opinions on the team that drafted him, therefore you can surely expect No. 11 to be emotionally charged up for this one.

According to Tipico Sportsbook, the Titans enter the week as road underdogs to the Eagles, with Philly a 5.5-point favorite. The over/under is set at 44.5.

Tennessee enters this game 8-3 against the spread, but they sport an opposite record when it comes to hitting the over. The Eagles are 6-5 against the spread and have hit the over seven times.

Truthfully, this game has must-see television written all over it.

The Titans have an incredible opportunity to validate themselves against a bona fide contender while Brown, on the other hand, undoubtedly wants to show out against his old team.

Only time will tell how this one gets settled.
