The Jacksonville Jaguars are up against the Philadelphia Eagles as 6.5-point road underdogs this Sunday. The total line is set at 46.5 points. Philadelphia fans could be drooling after the point spread came down a bit on an open line of seven. Yet, the Jaguars are improving under head coach Doug Pederson.
Pederson is returning to the scene of the crime when he coached the Eagles. One year removed, he is leading his team against Philadelphia in Sunday's contest. Jacksonville's quarterback Trevor Lawrence is one for the key pieces of the game and so is the Jaguars' defense. This team really shined in the 38-10 win against the Chargers on the road.
Philadelphia's offense under quarterback Jalen Hurts has gotten of to an impressive start in the first three games. The Eagles have produced 86 points while giving up a combined 50 points. Hurts has complete a total of 916 yards to average 9.3 yards a game. He has gained 167 yards on the ground in 37 attempts.
Eagles' wide receive AJ Brown is the leading pass catcher on the team with 309 yards on 20 receptions and running back Miles Sanders leads the way in rushing with 222 yards gain on 45 carriers.
The sticking point on the opening seven spread is a current half point in the Eagles' favor. Philadelphia's offense at home is on course to light things up but the Jaguars' defense could dampen its effect. In a defense struggled by both sides, the Eagles come away with the win 20-13.
Philadelphia could cover the 6.5 points in the spread but the safeties play is the total staying UNDER the 46.5-point line.
