Prediction: Titans will lose to Eagles

A defense that wore down from 73 plays and 39:49 minutes on the field against the Pittsburgh Steelers will have trouble keeping up with the high tempo Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.

I expect the Tennessee Titans will surrender big plays either to LeSean McCoy in tight quarters or to Darren Sproles in space and those will ultimately put the Eagles over the top.

They may build on Week 11's solid pressure on Ben Roethlisberger against Mark Sanchez, who's shakier under pressure. But they've gotten bolder and bolder blitzing, and could be due to pay with a big play against them.

Even if Zach Mettenberger continues his steady growth in this one, I have trouble seeing the Titans winning against a good team angry over a bad loss at Green Bay last week.

Weekly disclaimer: Unpredictability is the single biggest reason for the NFL’s popularity. No matter how closely I watch the Titans and how many people I talk to, predicating games, in my eyes, isn’t far off from throwing a dart.

Eagles 24, Titans 17
