Matt Ehalt, a sports editor for the New York Post, predicts that the Philadelphia Eagles will defeat the Tennessee Titans by seven points in Week 2 of the NFL season. Ehalt bases his prediction on the poor performance of Cam Ward and the Tennessee offensive line against the Jets, expecting them to struggle further against the superior defensive line of the Eagles. Additionally, he notes concerns with the Titans’ defense, which failed to stop the Jets' running back Breece Hall, and anticipates difficulty in containing Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts from the Eagles.

Story summary
The Eagles defeated the Titans in an NFL Week 2 matchup at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, on Sunday, September 20. The game ended with a final score of 24-20, as Jalen Hurts led the Eagles to victory by throwing a touchdown pass to Darius Cooper with just 9 seconds left. Despite Philadelphia's star running back Saquon Barkley being limited due to injury, Hurts completed 26 of his passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns. The Titans' defense struggled against Hurts and the Eagles' rushing attack, led by Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts himself who also contributed significantly as a runner and passer. Philadelphia improved to an undefeated start at 2-0, while Tennessee fell to 0-2 after their second consecutive loss following last week's defeat against the Jets.

Philadelphia Eagles (-7) over TENNESSEE TITANS
Heading into last week’s Jets-Titans opener, we wondered what it would say about Cam Ward if he could not beat the Jets at home to begin Year 2.
uncertain
he → head → Year
Ward, Robert Saleh and the Titans received a thorough beatdown from Gang Green that makes one wonder if they’ll be picking No. 1 for the second time in three years after a 23-10 loss.
asserted
they → receive → loss
Ward did not perform well in an ominous sign, and the beleaguered offensive line got worked over by the Jets.
asserted
line → perform → Jets
In come the Eagles, who possess a stronger defensive line to get after Ward.
asserted
who → come → Ward
It’s hard to expect that a Titans team that could not hold off the Jets’ pass rush will hold up against Philadelphia’s wave of pass rushers that is ranked one of the best in the sport.
uncertain
that → ’ → sport
This battle has mismatch written all over it.
asserted
mismatch → write → it
On the other side of the ball, the Titans’ defense is not equipped to stop the Eagles’ rushing attack.
asserted
defense → stop → attack
Tennessee did little to stop Breece Hall and the Jets, and now they face Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts.
asserted
they → do → Barkley
There are plenty of concerns still about Philadelphia’s passing attack, but this is not the game where they need to air it out.

We’d expect, though, that DeVonta Smith will get the squeaky wheel treatment after a 3-53 showing to start a season that many expect will be among the league’s best.
Laying seven points on the road is not an ideal situation, but it’s hard to see many paths where the Titans – after being steamrolled by the Jets – fare better against a strong playoff contender that is even better suited to expose their deficiencies across the board.
