It’s the start of week 17 of the NFL season on the gridiron with an interconference clash in the Volunteer State. The Dallas Cowboys are on the road as they travel to face the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football. Dallas rallied to down Philadelphia 40-34 as a four-point favorite at home in their previous game Saturday afternoon. Tennessee saw their skid continue as they were beaten 19-14 at home by Houston, losing outright as a three-point favorite, Saturday afternoon in their previous contest. In the all-time regular season series between the teams, Dallas owns an 8-7 advantage but it was the Titans picking up a 28-14 road win in the most recent matchup on November 5, 2018.

Dallas bounced back from a disappointing overtime road loss to Jacksonville as they took down the Eagles in a high-scoring affair Saturday afternoon.
