After a relatively slow start to the season, the Philadelphia Eagles reeled off three straight wins and suddenly look like an elite contender in the NFC. They will try to extend their winning streak to four in the 9th week when they will host the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Hopes were high for the Jaguars entering this season, but a 2-6 record that included a Week 8 loss to the Packers all but ended any hopes of returning to the NFL Playoffs.

Let’s take a look at the latest odds of the match and then I will list my best bet.

Jaguar Injury Report

Eagles Injury Report

Jacksonville Jaguars

Brian Thomas Jr.: The Jaguars’ first-year receiver has been one of the best rookies in the NFL this season and has established himself as the top option in the passing game for the Jaguars. Now that Christian Kirk is out with injury, Thomas Jr. will need to play an even bigger role if Jacksonville wants to pick up some wins.

Philadelphia Eagles

Saquon Barkley: The Eagles running back has been one of the best acquisitions of the offseason and is currently in contention with Derrick Henry for the Offensive Player of the Year award. In addition to his six total touchdowns, he is averaging a whopping 5.9 yards per carry on the season.

I was devastated by this week’s issue of ” magazine272 Road to Betting“Why do I think the Eagles are right next to each other in this interconference showdown?

That’s what I meant last week when I said the Eagles were making strides and getting hot. I think in a few weeks we’ll see this team as a legitimate Super Bowl contender and a top-three team in the conference. They’ve led the NFL in Net Yards Per Game (+2.1) over the last three games and have improved greatly on defense while also being healthy on offense.

Since Week 6, they rank sixth in the league in EPA per play and second in opponent EPA. Their defense was a weak spot at the start of the season, but their two rookie cornerbacks have stepped up recently and are now a dangerous unit. for any team to meet.

They should have no problem moving the ball against the second-worst team in the league. The Jaguars are in the midst of a boom and currently rank last in the NFL in opponent return EPA and 31st in opponent yards per pass attempt.

The Jaguars offense will need to have an A+ game to keep them within reach in this game. If they don’t, the Eagles will run away with a win and close that gap with ease.

Pick: Eagles -7.5 (-110)
