Jacksonville enters with the better recent form, stronger scoring margin, and a more balanced offense. The Jaguars average 316.5 yards per game, including 199.3 through the air and 117.3 on the ground, while their defense has been stingy against both the run and the pass. Philadelphia’s offense has moved the ball for 269.8 yards per game, but its 18.8 points per game and 4.7 yards per play show the unit has not turned production into scoring. Defensively, the Eagles have allowed 23.3 points and 344.0 yards per game, which is a tough mix against a Jacksonville team averaging 26.0 points.
Jacksonville has the cleaner profile entering this game, with a much stronger scoring margin, better offensive efficiency, and a defense that has held opponents well below what Philadelphia has allowed. The Eagles have struggled to cover and have been inconsistent on both sides of the ball, which makes it hard to trust them against a Jaguars team playing at a higher level. The projected result is Jacksonville 27, Philadelphia 18, with the Jaguars controlling the game and winning by enough to justify the home side on the spread.
