The way I’d frame the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 1 win over the Washington Commanders? I’d say it’s a performance to build on.
The offense as a collective clearly needs to be better. They only managed 10 first downs on Sunday … the fewest of any team in the league so far.
Maybe Sean Mannion’s group can get it going against the Tennessee Titans? The Eagles are entering Week 2 as seven-point road favorites, according to FanDuel.
This after the Titans, now coached by Robert Saleh, lost to the New York Jets by a final score of 23 to 10. Geno Smith completed 19 of 24 attempts for 215 yards and a 104 passer rating. The Jets’ top two running backs combined for 142 rushing yards and one touchdown on 32 carries (4.4 average).
Until we actually see the Eagles prove they can block better, it might be hard to fully believe it. But you have to feel good about Jalen Hurts’ ability to make plays for this team after watching what he did against the Commanders. You also have to like Vic Fangio’s chances of being able to stifle the Titans’ offense, which managed a mere 195 yards yesterday. That’s 123 fewer yards than the Eagles managed to muster in Week 1.
The Titans will be motivated to avoid two straight home losses to start the 2026 season but I believe in the Birds to emerge victorious. Will they definitely cover? I’ll lean yes, though I can’t say I’m 100% confident.
Which bet do you like more?
The Eagles failed to cover the 5.5-point spread against the Washington Commanders in Week 1. O
Of course, getting the actual win is much more important. And they did that much!
Are you trusting the Birds to cover against the Titans in Week 2?
