The Tennessee Titans (0-1) got the season kicked off to a rough start with a home loss against the New York Jets (1-0) with a 23-10 defeat at Nissan Stadium.
Now, the Titans have to show some fight under new head coach Robert Saleh, who will be preparing the team for a visit from the Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) in Week 2.

It wasn’t very much of an impressive showing from the Titans, especially on the offensive side of the ball in what should have been a closer matchup. Now, the Titans will have to take on an Eagles team that is coming off a season-opening win.
Though it’s pretty fair to see where this will go, let’s take a look at the expert picks in this week’s matchup:

It should be no surprise the experts are siding with the Eagles. They are the better team, and the Titans didn’t put on a very encouraging performance in Week 1. Meanwhile over at Tallysight, all of the experts are taking the Eagles moneyline as of this writing.
The Titans need to figure out the offense before this season becomes a total disaster, and it won’t be an easy task going up against Vic Fangio’s defense.

Crazier things have happened in the NFL, but it’s difficult to see the Titans pulling this one out.
