JAX to win-330
TLDR: Philadelphia lands in London a day before kickoff with no Barkley, no DeVonta Smith and a rebuilt line, against a Jacksonville front that wins without blitzing and has practiced in England since Friday.
Point
- Travel
The Eagles fly Friday and land Saturday morning, while Jacksonville flew Thursday and practiced in London Friday, giving the Jaguars a full extra day there.
- Pass catchers
Barkley, DeVonta Smith and Hollywood Brown are all ruled out, and Dontayvion Wicks is playing through his own hamstring, so Hurts has very few targets left.
- Third downs
Philadelphia went 0 for 12 on third down against the Rams, and the line and receivers who failed there have only gotten thinner since.
Counterpoint
- Jaguars secondary
Jacksonville ranks 31st in passing yards allowed, with safety Eric Murray doubtful, corner Jaylon Jones out and safety Caleb Ransaw on injured reserve.
- Eagles returns
Dallas Goedert and Zack Baun practiced fully Friday and are set to play, and Quinyon Mitchell's knee did not keep him off the field.
Neutral
- Weather
The Met Office has north London dry, at about 15C (59F) with light wind, around the 2:30 PM local kickoff, so the weather helps neither side.
- Last meeting
The Eagles won the 2018 London meeting 24-18, but Jake Elliott and Zach Ertz are the only players left from either roster.
