Which team will win today? Saturday's games: Titans vs Patriots/Falcons vs Eagles

Titans vs Patriots will be broadcast today at 8:15pm Eastern time (CBS).
Here's what the press is saying:

"The Titans’ upset of the Chiefs disrupted the anticipated rematch of the prime-time NFL season opener that Kansas City won at New England. The Patriots not only have a respite from the chess match with the Chiefs offense, but any chance of them taking the Titans lightly was erased by the explosive ESPN story about dissension involving Brady, Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft. The idea of bulletin-board material seems foolish under these circumstances, but never underestimate the tools Belichick and Brady can use to sharpen their focus. It should be razor-sharp here."

In conclusion, I already bet against the Titans last week & lost. Titan's quarteback Mariota's TD pass to himself made the difference & reinvigorated Tennessee resulting in a victory I didn't see coming:

"Here is why Marcus Mariota’s TD pass to himself vs. Chiefs was legal"

Nevertheless, Patriots still have the best record. Therefore, I think Tennessee is just delaying the inevitable & New England will win.

Falcons vs Eagles will be broadcast today at 4:35pm Eastern time (NBC).
Here's what the press is saying:

"The Falcons and Eagles will meet for the fourth time in the postseason in a NFC Divisional Round playoff game on Saturday.
The Eagles hold a 2-1 edge, winning both games played in Philadelphia."

"The Falcons, after upsetting the Rams in the wild-card round, are the favorites to beat the top-seeded Eagles in Saturday's divisional playoff matchup in Philadelphia. The Falcons, however, will try to shake off some recent struggles in this matchup to live up to that surprising status."

"PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Eagles have not only the blueprint to beat the Atlanta Falcons but also the running back to see those plans through.
Jay Ajayi was by far the most effective back against Atlanta this season, rushing for 130 yards on 26 carries in Week 6 while still with the Miami Dolphins. That's 54 yards more than anyone else logged against the Falcons' defense (Buffalo's LeSean McCoy, New England's Dion Lewis and Minnesota'sLatavius Murray each ran for 76 yards against the Falcons."
In conclusion, I also bet against the Falcons last week & lost. Eagles have the best record but at this point that doesn't mean anything if the Falcons have momentum. Thus I believe Atlanta will win a very close game.
