Our writers are picking the Eagles to win their fourth straight game as they face Doug Pederson, Trevor Lawrence, and the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
The Eagles host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday afternoon. Here are our writers’ predictions for Week 9.
The Eagles should be able to run the ball effectively and also throw it. It’s hard to imagine Jacksonville scoring enough points to keep up. A big one looms next week in Dallas, but this is only a trap game if you’re obsessed with being a contrarian.The 2-6 Jaguars are limping into their matchup against the Eagles. Christian Kirk, who is No. 2 on the team in receiving yards, broke his collarbone last week and is out for the season.
If the Eagles play like they did against the Giants or Bengals, this has the makings of a blowout. I’m not sure if they will, though, so I’ll pick a slightly closer game.The Eagles host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday afternoon. Here are our writers’ predictions for Week 9.The Jaguars have settled down some after an 0-4 start, but they’re coming off a tough 30-27 loss to the Packers at home and suffered some casualties.
Pederson’s run offense has been efficient. Tank Bigsby is a slasher and gets a lot of yards after contact. He has done well in starter Travis Etienne’s absence. Etienne is expected back, though, giving the Jaguars complementary inside and outside runners. Fangio’s run defense has been much better since the first two games. He’s figured out some of his personnel. But I’d expect the Jaguars, who use a fair amount of play-action, to target off-ball linebackers Nakobe Dean and Zack Baun with fakes.
Plus, the Jaguars are already in sell mode. They traded left tackle Cam Robinson to the Minnesota Vikings on Wednesday. So, there’s a chance that the Jaguars roll out three backups on the offensive line, which could mean feasting time for the Eagles pass rush. They struggled with allowing pressure early in the season, conceding 11 sacks in the first three games.
