Jaguars vs Eagles Prediction

The current betting odds have the Eagles listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Eagles have looked really good in their games this season with their 5-2 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the NFC East, right behind the Commanders. The Eagles didn't look quite right at the start of the season, but they have been smoothing things over and have looked a lot better lately. They are coming off a big road win over the Bengals in their last one and they will be looking to continue that success at home against a struggling team. Meanwhile, the Jaguars haven't looked good in their games this season with their 2-6 record overall which has them in 3rd place of the AFC South but way out of the division race. They just got back from London last week and came close to beating the Packers at home, but now they go on the road for this one and this is a tough environment to play in. The Jags have been really up and down on offense all year and their defense hasn't looked good at all, giving up a ton of points in a majority of their games. The Eagles are starting to roll now offensively so they are going to put up points at home against this bad defense, but the defense has also looked a lot better for the Eagles in recent weeks too. The Jags won't be able to get much done here on offense, especially with the mistakes they have been making week after week. The best way to place a bet here is on the Eagles to cover the spread in this game. 

Jaguars Eagles Prediction:  Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 3, 2024 (4:05 pm ET start time) is Eagles 31 Jaguars 17.
