The best Eagles coverage is always local, but it’s helpful to get a national perspective.
Here’s a look at what they’re saying about your Birds against the Jaguars this week:
From USA Today: All four analysts picked the Eagles to win.
"The Eagles seem to be finding their groove. Jalen Hurts is the first player in NFL history with multiple rushing touchdowns and a passer rating of 100 or higher in consecutive games. Hurts might continue the streak against the lowly Jaguars."
From NBC Sports: Both analysts picked the Eagles to cover (-7.5).
"The Eagles are stacking wins, and the Jaguars are overmatched."
From CBS Sports: Eagles 33 - Jaguars 19.
"The Jaguars are reeling, while the Eagles are suddenly playing well. The Philadelphia offense should have a field day against a bad Jacksonville defense. The Jacksonville offense won't be able to keep up with its injuries at receiver. This will be ugly. The Eagles are on a roll now."
From Sporting News: All five analysts picked the Eagles to win.
"The Philadelphia Eagles put to bed many of the concerns swirling around them this season with a comprehensive win over the Bengals. Jalen Hurts was superb, and the offense was a top-five unit this week through Sunday. The defense wasn’t at its best, but the Bengals’ offense is a pretty good unit, so it was always likely that they would have some success moving the ball. The Jaguars have put together a couple of solid weeks offensively, backing up a strong showing in Wembley with a seventh-ranked offensive performance coming out of Sunday. Jacksonville’s defense remains a concern, ranking 30th overall, but they did have another solid week, even if they allowed 30 points. The Eagles are just a better overall team than the Jaguars.”
From Bleacher Report: Six of eight analysts picked the Eagles to cover (-7.5).
"It's not easy to lay over a touchdown with Philadelphia, even after last week's impressive outing against the Bengals. Cincinnati hasn't exactly impressed this season, and the Eagles can't rush the passer or cover a bed with a sheet.
"Luckily for Philly's matador secondary, the Jaguars don't have any wide receivers. With Kirk out for the year and Thomas perhaps out this week as well, the top three wide receivers in Jacksonville may be Davis, Parker 'Who?' Washington and Tim 'Randomly Generated Madden Name' Jones.
"Combine an injury-ravaged offense with the league's fourth-worst defense, and you have all the ingredients for a happy crowd at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday—and an Eagles blowout."
