As good as the upstart Jags have looked thus far, they seem destined to meet their match Sunday against a Philadelphia team that has emerged as an early front-runner in the NFC. The Eagles' pass rush should create havoc for Trevor Lawrence, who could return to his turnover-prone ways. Philadelphia's potent offense is a threat to carry a late cover even if the game is close for a while.

There's no doubt the Jaguars are improved, but how much improved? It's one thing to upset a Chargers team with a ton of injuries or a Colts team that always loses in Jacksonville and was missing its only good WR. It's quite another to come back from L.A., hear how great you are all week, then get back on the road to Philly for a game against one of the league's most talented teams. It's worth noting that both these teams played at Washington, where one of them lost and the other absolutely dominated. Lay the points.

The Jaguars have been able to take advantage of some unique situations over the last couple weeks, but going up against arguably the top team in the NFL in the Eagles will send Jacksonville back to reality. The good news for those siding with Philadelphia is the Duval crew is good enough to keep the hosts engaged for four quarters; unlike the last two weeks, Philly will not be able to sit on early leads and ride things out in the second half. Also good news? The Eagles have the firepower to stay on top for the duration of the content or put the game away late if necessary. Remember: Philly lines tend to get juiced 0.5-1 point every Sunday without fail. If you want in before this reaches a full seven points (or more?), take action sooner than later.

The Jaguars have impressed over their first three games, particularly on defense. Their quality rush defense could cause issues for Philly. But the Eagles offense ranks first in pass yards per play, speaking to Jalen Hurts' growth as a QB. Philly is also No. 1 in defensive pass yards per play, and the Eagles have a great argument for being the best team in the NFL over the first three weeks. The Jaguars have a brutal travel disadvantage here, coming off a trip to L.A. last week, and remember that they lost to the Commanders, a team Philly just manhandled, before their impressive two-week run. This line should be north of 7.
