The Philadelphia Eagles opened as 6.5-point home favorites in their Week 9 game against Doug Pederson’s Jacksonville Jaguars, according to FanDuel.
This matchup was originally scheduled to take place on Sunday Night Football but the start time recently got moved up to 4:05 PM Eastern. The Eagles were likely flexed out of prime-time in no small part due to the Jags’ struggles.
Simply put, Jacksonville is not a very good football team. They’re 2-6 with the NFL’s sixth-worst point differential at -52. The only five teams below them: the Miami Dolphins, the Las Vegas Raiders, the New England Patriots, the Tennessee Titans, and the Carolina Panthers.
