New York Jets vs Philadelphia Eagles 10/06/19 Betting Preview

The New York Jets travel to the Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, October 6, 2019 to take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

Still Winless

The NY Jets are still winless after three games played in the 2019 NFL season and are 0-3 for the first time since 2003. The Jets lost to the defending Super Bowl Champions New England Patriots 30-14 on the road in their last game played. The Jets played without starting quarterback Sam Darnold who missed the game with mononucleosis and were also without linebacker C.J. Mosley and defensive linebacker Quinnern Williams.

Quarterback Luke Falk started for the Jets and it was his first NFL start. Falk went 12-22 for 98 yards with an interception and the Jets looked lost on offense while struggling to move the ball around the field. New York went 0-12 on third downs against the NFL’s top ranked-defense. Le’Veon Bell had 18 carries but tallied just a total of 35 rushing yards. He also had four catches for 28 yards.

Looking To Go Over .500

The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to go over the .500 mark this season. The Eagles opened the year with a five-point win over the Washington Redskins but lost their next two games by a combined losing margin of seven points. Philly bounced back in week 4 with a solid 34-27 win over the Green Bay Packers to improve to 2-2 on the season. The Eagles have looked strong on offense with their 7th ranked 27.5 points per game. However, their defense has been shaky at 26.2 points per game allowed, 26th overall in the NFL.

Carson Wentz went 16-27 for 160 yards with three touchdowns while Jordan Howard had 87 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries. Zach Ertz caught seven passes for 65 yards while Alshon Jefferey had 38 receiving yards for the Eagles. Craig James made his first start and responded by delivering the game winning play, intercepting Aaron Rodgers’ pass in the endzone with 25 seconds left in the game.

Who Wins?

The NY Jets are 0-6 SU in their last six games played and are 1-7 SU in their last 8 games played on the road. Philadelphia is 8-4 SU in their last 12 games played and 4-1 SU in their last five games played at home. Head to head, The Eagles are 5-0 SU in their last five meetings in Philadelphia and 10-0 SU in their last 10 games overall.

New York is hoping that their bye week is going to give them an advantage over the Eagles. The Jets are still looking for their first win of the season and it will be tough for them to pick up the win at Lincoln Financial Field where they have lost their last five games. The Eagles have dominated this matchup and are coming off a morale-boosting win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 4. The Eagles are heavy NFL betting favorites in this match. I think the Jets’ offense doesn’t have enough firepower to match the Eagles. I’m picking the home team to win here. Prediction: Philadelphia Eagles
