Eagles open up as HUGE home favorites against Jaguars

Philly fans will be hoping that an eccentric win over the Bengals will provide enough momentum for the Birds to truly turn the corner. It’s been a difficult season for the Eagles, but their most complete game of the season came in a matchup where it was needed the most. They now face a Jags team that has been struggling all season long, mustering just two wins so far.

Doug Pederson returns to Philadelphia during ‘Kelly Green’ week of all weeks, just to rub salt in the wound. His Jags team have just traded franchise tackle Cam Robinson to the Vikings, Travis Etienne could be in a limited role as he ramps up from an injury, and the receiving corps has been ravaged, with the offense fielding backups at both the X and Z spots this weekend.

The Eagles are still going to be missing some key pieces themselves, but Fred Johnson held his own against one of the league’s most dominant edge rushers in Trey Hendrickson last week, inspiring confidence that he can hold the fort until Jordan Mailata returns.

The Eagles might have finally found their offensive identity. They committed to the run, even when it wasn’t working, believing that Saquon Barkley could once again turn the tides of battle. The former Giants’ running back already has 766 yards this season and now faces a fairly stout run defense in Jacksonville. It will be interesting to see how he fares, but there are few doubts in his ability to become an X-Factor every time he steps on the field.

Philly’s defense took a massive leap forward against the Browns and then hopped once more against the Bengals. The arrival of Cooper DeJean has energized Vic Fangio’s unit and the pass-rush is beginning to thrive too. This is going to be a very tough matchup for a depleted Jags team to win, especially without their book-end tackle.
