The Philadelphia Eagles and Tennessee Titans are both 2-1 heading into Week 4 but the NFL oddsmakers hardly see these teams as equals. The Eagles opened as three-point favorites for their game in Tennessee and some gambling sites now have Philadelphia favored by four points. It’s not difficult to see why the reigning Super Bowl champions are favored here. Yeah Cheap Jay Ajayi Jersey , the Titans just beat the Jaguars in Jacksonville, but it was a very close and ugly game with a final score of 9 to 6. Moreover, the Titans’ quarterback situation is not ideal right now. Blaine Gabbert had to start last week with Marcus Mariota still dealing with a pinched nerve in his elbow. When Gabbert got knocked out of the game, Mariota was thrust into action and actually did OK for a guy who lacks feeling in his fingers. The Oregon Ducks alumnus completed 12 of his 18 attempts for 100 yards, zero touchdowns http://www.eaglescheapauthenticstore.com/brandon-brooks-jersey-cheap , zero interceptions, and a 80.8 passer rating. He also contributed with seven rushing attempts for 51 yards. But Mariota’s limitations were clear and they might continue to be a problem moving forward. Check out these Rotoworld write-ups:As we saw in Week 2, Jim Schwartz’s defense has had issues playing away from the home confines of Lincoln Financial Field. Since 2016, the Eagles are allowing 27.5 points per game in road tilts. With Mariota being less than 100%, though Youth Destiny Vaeao Jersey , this could be an opportunity for the Eagles to reverse that trend, at least for one week.Elsewhere, the Eagles might be getting some good news on the injury front this week. It seems like Alshon Jeffery might have a shot to return against the Titans. Jay Ajayi and Darren Sproles are also expected to return to practice this week in some capacity. And then there’s the fact Carson Wentz is back under center for the Eagles. He looked a little rusty in his first game played since December 2017 but he also showed plenty of encouraging signs that bode well for the Eagles moving forward.The Titans have played teams tough this year. Their only defeat so far is a one-possession loss to a 3-0 Dolphins team on the road in Miami. I don’t expect them to just lay down and take a beating.With that said, there’s rightful reason for the Eagles to be favored this week. Bleeding Green Nation already took some time to chat with Cat Scratch Reader in order to preview this week’s Philadelphia Eagles versus Carolina Panthers matchup. (You can read that here.) Today, we’re back with three reasons why each team might lose. This format forces us to consider each team’s weaknesses Mike Wallace Jersey , rather than just being homers.So, below are three reasons why the Panthers could lose, as written by Cat Scratch Reader’s Walker Clement. To see why I think the Eagles could lose, check out CSR.1. The Panthers lack aggression. It’s as simple as that. They might build up a small lead, say 10 points or so Authentic Sidney Jones Jersey , but then they’ll relax into soft coverage shells and run the ball on 98% of their offensive snaps. The Eagles will have every opportunity they need to get back in the game if they find themselves in a hole. Factor in that Rivera seems to actively prefer punting or attempting field goals instead of keeping a drive alive (and risking a touchdown) on fourth and short from just about anywhere on the field, and the Eagles will always be in a position to beat the Panthers.2. Wendell Smallwood is in for a career day.The Panthers have a history of giving up big games to second tier running backs. Last week was the rare time that Adrian Peterson -or any other premier back- had a big day against us and even he didn’t top 100 yards rushing. The Panthers’ defensive line will continue to struggle to control the line of scrimmage which will allow the Eagles to scheme plays away from their linebackers. Expect Smallwood to be able to find space when he needs it and you can probably go ahead and bet on a few ‘unexpected’ highlight plays as well.3. The last reason the Panthers will lose is chaos.The first few games of a season are always weird and help teams figure out who they actually are. In the Panthers case, the first three games of 2018 were relatively plain. They apparently then figured out that they are a team of unmitigated shenaniganry. Six crazy turnovers, that have been split evenly for and against the team, and a whole lot of special decision making on special teams later and this team is impossible to predict. To me Youth Malcolm Jenkins Jersey , that translates to a win for the more consistent team. You can’t expect to beat the Giants every week on a last second, 63-yard field goal.
