The Philadelphia Eagles have lost two games in a row and their schedule isn’t getting any easier.
The Birds are set to take on the 3-1 Jacksonville Jaguars in London this coming weekend.
In order to avoid dropping below .500 with a third straight loss, the Eagles will have to pull off an upset. They’re currently listed as 4.5-point underdogs to the Jags on a neutral field, according to FanDuel.

This line isn’t just a reflection of the Eagles’ struggles. It’s also a testament to the Jags being a really good team. Liam Coen’s squad ranks second in DVOA, second in point differential, fourth in defensive EPA per play, and sixth in defensive EPA per play.
The Eagles aren’t looking nearly as good. Especially since they’re now dealing with a litany of injuries to key players.
Maybe the Eagles find a way to rally after blowing a fourth quarter lead to the Rams. But I can’t say I’m feeling great about their chances in this spot. I’m tempted to lean Jags -4.5.
