The top matchup in Philadelphia’s game against the Jaguars.

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ record says 2-6, but there is a tinge of danger to this team, which started the season 0-4. Four of the Jags’ six losses have come by five points or less, and it is still a team with some fighting life, if they want to continue having former Eagles’ Super Bowl-winning coach Doug Peterson in charge.

Trevor Lawrence is still a viable threat, and coupled with the Eagles’ tepid pass rush, there is a faint possibility Jacksonville could give the 7-point favorite Eagles a game on Sunday at...

Jacksonville Jaguars (2-6) at Philadelphia Eagles (5-2), 4:05 p.m. Sunday

The Line: Eagles minus-7/Total: 45.5

What is the line telling you:

This line originally opened as the Eagles minus-6.5, with a combined total set at 47.5. Since...

Philadelphia’s young cornerbacks could be key factors to winning on Sunday.

The Eagles are 5-2 and almost at the season midpoint. The team has only needed strong contributions from their top two rookies, which they absolutely have. Quinyon Mitchell has been excellent as a perimeter defender and Cooper DeJean has been one of the best nickel cornerbacks since starting there three weeks ago. How can they help the Eagles in this Week 9 showdown with the Jaguars?

Quinyon Mitchell potentially has another rookie to contain

Brian Thomas Junior is sixth in the NFL in receiving yards, averaging a crazy...

Darren Sproles was on DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy’s podcast and they got into the Super Bowl team, Carson Wentz not wanting to run the offense or listen to coaching, and how Sproles better connected with Nick Foles:

I love that we joked about Wentz’s affinity for throwing the ball to Zach Ertz and Sproles confirms it pissed him off and probably others in the offensive room. Remember the stat that Carson Wentz lovers used to throw out there? The one about him being the first QB to throw for 4,000 yards without a receiver having 1,000? Kind of loses...

Doug Pederson is a +280 underdog as his 2-6 Jacksonville Jag-wires visit the 5-2 Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. It’s a 4:05 p.m. game that was flexed out of prime time, largely because the Jags stink and Doug’s seat is toasty.

The Birds are on a three-game winning streak and coming off their best W of the season, a 37-point explosion in Cincinnati. That was good enough for the books to list them as a -360 favorite on the moneyline at a -7.5 spread. The Eagles have won by 20 points and 25 points in the last two weeks, which...

No other city can match Philly’s love for the Birds.

And love was indeed in the air during the Week 6 Eagles/Browns matchup, but not just for the football team.

Jeff and Monica Vasquez got married in Lot P at a tailgate wedding. Clips of the ceremony, the white carpet in the middle of the lot, and the massive crowds it attracted circled all throughout social media that day. A true display of how passionate Philly fans are. I sat down with Jeff and Monica last week to talk about this viral Philly wedding, and get a deeper look into...

In addition to writing the All-22 offense and defense reviews after each Eagles game this year, I will also write this one called ‘Concept of the Week.’ I will break down a specific concept or play on offense and defense and explain the play in more detail. Hopefully, this will allow you to look out for that play in future weeks. This week, we will look at the Eagles’ use of Whip against the Bengals, which the Eagles ran on the interception by C.J. Gardner-Johnson.

Whip

The Eagles have run Whip a lot of late. If you can think...

NFL star Jalen Hurts prohibited from golfing with Barack Obama due to $255 million contract clause - SB Nation
Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts joined former President Barack Obama, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, and Eagles Running Back Saquon Barkley at Merion Golf Club earlier this week.

Watch this week’s TNF kickoff game here!

Week 9 of the 2024 NFL season will kickoff with a Thursday Night Football game featuring the Houston Texans (6-2) on the road against the New York Jets (2-6).

The Jets lead the all-time series between these teams, 7-3, and have won their last two meetings. They last faced off back in early-December 2023, with the Jets pulling off one of those weird wins at home, 30-6.

The Texans offense is just devastated by injuries, most-recently losing Stefon Diggs for the season to an ACL tear. Still, while this might be a good...

Thursday news and updates.

The Eagles listed two players under DID NOT PARTICIPATE: Dallas Goedert and Darius Slay.

Goedert is on track to miss his third game in a row. The Eagles will roll with Grant Calcaterra and Jack Stoll as their top two tight ends. We’ll see if they add a third to the roster or not.

Slay is on track to miss his first game this season. Isaiah Rodgers figures to start in his stead....
