The Jacksonville Jaguars head into this game with a record of 2-1 on the season after winning on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers by a final score of 38-10. In that game the Jaguars had total control of the game as they led the whole game. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence led the team in passing with 262 yards and 3 touchdowns. All three of his touchdown passes went to different receivers. Wide receiver Zay Jones led the team in receptions and yards with 10 and 85. The rushing game was as effective for the Jaguars as the passing game was. Running back James Robinson rushed for 100 yards on 17 attempts and had a touchdown. The Jaguars defense played an important role for the team as they forced 2 turnovers. On top of that, the Jaguars had an extra 10 minutes of time of possession in the game. This game against the Eagles can answer whether or not the Jaguars are for real or if they are imposters. 

The Philadelphia Eagles head into this game as the only undefeated team in the league with a record of 3-0. They are coming off a strong win away from home against the Washington Commanders where they won by a final score of 24-8. In that game, the Eagles jumped out to a 24-0 lead to end the first half and cruised for the rest of the game. Quarterback Jalen Hurts led the team in passing yards with 340 yards and 3 touchdowns and was also able to rush for 20 yards. Hurts was able to connect with wide receiver Devonta Smith for a touchdown. Smith recorded 8 receptions for 169 yards in the game. The Eagles defense was able to sack the Commanders quarterback 9 times and force a fumble. The Eagles are a great team and have both a strong offense and defense. 

I think this game will be high scoring as both of the offenses are great at moving the ball through the air and on the ground. When the final whistle blows however, I imagine the Eagles will win as their defense is better and their offense has been playing great lately. It will be an emotional game for coach Pederson as he will hope to win this game. Buy half a point for the Jaguars for +7. 

For our expert Jacksonville Jaguars vs Philadelphia Eagles pick, take the Jaguars +7.
