3 things to know, plus a prediction for Jaguars vs. Eagles Week 5 game
Here are three things to know plus a prediction for Sunday's Week 5 matchup between the Jaguars and Eagles.
1. The Jacksonville Jaguars face the Philadelphia Eagles in their first of two consecutive London games. The Jaguars are currently 3-1, while the Eagles are 2-2 after two losses in a row.
2. The Eagles will be without key players Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith due to injuries. Barkley, one of the best backs in football, rushed for 2,005 yards in 2024 and averaged 5.1 yards per rush this season. Smith has produced four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, with Will Shipley potentially stepping in as the backup running back. The Eagles' offensive line unit has been reshaped, with retired All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson, center Cam Jurgens, and injured Drew Kendall no longer part of the team.
3. According to ESPN's Seth Walder, the Jaguars are predicted to win against the Eagles by two touchdowns. The Eagles currently rank 27th in EPA per play on offense and 25th on defense. In their previous three games, they had injured key players and played without retired Johnson.
