RZ Bowl 69 - Picks from the Celebs

With just a few hours left until kickoff between the Tennessee Titans and the Philadelphia Eagles in RZ Bowl 69, we polled the best celebrities around Red Zone to get their takes on the upcoming matchup.

The line was set by our friends at the RZ Sportsbook as the following...

Eagles (-3.5) vs. Titans

Darrelle Revis

THE PICK - Titans

RZ BOWL MVP PICK - Titans Defense

DARRELLE'S TAKE - 'Defense win's championships. While both teams have solid defenses, I love the way the Titans get after it defensively. A great mix of zone, man, and plenty of blitzes that can confuse even the most prolific passer. If the Titans can hold Sanders in check, I think their offense can do enough to squeak one out. Titans 20, Eagles 17.'

Stephen A. Smith

THE PICK - Eagles

RZ BOWL MVP PICK - Miles Sanders (RB)

STEPHEN'S TAKE - 'History and facts are used to predict the future, and my history tells me that Roc will struggle against an aggresive defense, and come up just short as he has many times before. I don't want this to happen, but I feel it will. Ball control for Philly and turnovers for Tennessee plague the Titans. 20-14 Eagles.'

Nick Wright

THE PICK - Eagles

RZ BOWL MVP PICK - Miles Sanders (RB)

NICK'S TAKE - 'This game is fixed. Six head in the final Super Bowl of the cycle, no chance he's losing to the lesser partner of the Ram Fam. Eagles win by a lot.'

Jerome Bettis

THE PICK - Eagles

RZ BOWL MVP PICK - Miles Sanders (RB)

JEROME'S TAKE - 'I expect Sanders to score 2 touchdowns on the ground with over 100 yards rushing against the Titans defense. Coach Adel has been here before, and he finna shine up another trophy.'

Field Yates

THE PICK - Eagles

RZ BOWL MVP PICK - Miles Sanders (RB)

YATE'S TAKE - 'Sanders will run for Miles as the Titans defense will be left gasping for air. He will stretch their defense out as he runs sideline to sideline, both on the ground and through the air. It would not surprise me to see the Eagles give their bellcow 30+ touches as they look to play mistake-free, ball controlled football. The Eagles lead the league this season in fewest turnovers committed, and I don't see that trend changing for this game.'

Shannon Sharpe

THE PICK - Titans

RZ BOWL MVP PICK - Marquel Elliott (QB)

SHANNON'S TAKE - 'The Titans have a rare combination of young, talented players at skill positions flanked by veterans in the trenches that put them over the hump.'

John Clayton

THE PICK - Titans

RZ BOWL MVP PICK - Jeffrey Simmons (OLB)

JOHN'S TAKE - 'The Titans defense led by Jeffrey Simmons will be able to neutralize the best player on the field in Miles Sanders, and come away with a close victory. 27-21 Titans.

Adam Schefter

THE PICK - Titans

RZ BOWL MVP PICK - Marquel Elliott (QB)

ADAM'S TAKE - 'My sources are telling me, at this time, that the Tennessee Titans have a fantastic gameplan in place to be efficient with the football, and get the ball to speedster Evan Hood. The Titans front seven will slow down Miles Sanders, and Elliott will slice and dice his way, to Roc's first championship, and a RZ Bowl MVP.'

Donald Trump

THE PICK - Eagles

RZ BOWL MVP PICK - Miles Sanders (RB)

DONALD'S TAKE - 'When people ask me about Coach Adel, I tell them he's fabulous, he's tremendous. Absolutely a fantastic commissioner, and really a close friend of mine. People try and accuse of collusion and I say 'collusion? What collusion?' I am looking forward to the game truly, attending with my good friend and former Red Zone coach Prewitt, who's truly a tremendous person if you ask me.'

Mel Kiper

THE PICK - Eagles

RZ BOWL MVP PICK - Todd Wheeler (Punter)

MEL'S TAKE - 'Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd.....'
