Point Spread: -7.00 | -125.00 Eagles (PHI) (Home)
Result: Loss
#476 ASA PLAY ON Philadelphia Eagles -7 over Jacksonville Jaguars, Sunday at 4 PM ET - The Eagles are rolling on both sides of the ball right now winning 4 of their last 5 games. They’ve outgained 4 of their last 5 opponents by YPP margins of +3.0, +2.9, +1.9, and +1.4. That’s impressive. Last week they dominated a solid Cincinnati team on the road 37-17 outgaining them 397 to 280. Over the last 2 weeks, the Eagles have outscored their opponents 63-20. Not only is their offense trending up, the Philly defense has played lights out over the last month or so. They have not allowed more than 17 points since September and over their last 3 games the Eagles lead the NFL allowing only 3.9 YPP. They’ve done this while mainly playing on the road. 4 of their last 5 games have come away from home and they’ve played only 1 home game since mid September. The Jags are in a really rough spot here. This will be their 9th straight game with no bye, they were in London for 2 weeks, came home and lost to GB on a last second FG, and now off to Philadelphia. On top of that, Jacksonville is really banged up right now especially on offense. Their top 3 WR’s may miss this one (Thomas, Kirk, and Davis) and there is a good chance that 2 of their starting Oline will be out as well. On top of that, they just traded their best offensive lineman, LT Robinson, to the Vikings this week. Has this team waved the white flag? We think they will struggle offensively vs this surging Eagle defense. On the other side of the ball, Philly is averaging over 6.0 YPP their last 3 games and facing a Jags defense that ranks in the bottom 5 in total defense, YPP allowed, and scoring defense with Jacksonville allowing a TD 30.6% of opponent possessions, 31st in the league. This smells like a potential blowout for the Eagles. Lay it.
