The Philadelphia Eagles'(5-0) will take on the New York Jets (2-3) at Met Life Stadium Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Eagles vs. Jets odds, and'make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
Twelve and 0. This is the Eagles’ all-time record against the Jets — the 1st meeting was in 1973 with Philly pulling out a 24-23 win at home. The Eagles will look to keep the streak alive as they travel up the New Jersey Turnpike for this Sunday tilt.
Things were supposed to change after the Jets acquired QB Aaron Rodgers in the offseason. This was expected to be a marquee matchup with the Jets having a legitimate shot against the defending NFC champions, but Rodgers suffered a season-ending injury in the season opener and the air fizzled out of the hype balloon.
The injury forced New York to turn back to QB Zach Wilson, who managed to steer the Jets to an stunning 22-16 overtime home win vs. the Buffalo Bills after Rodgers was stretchered off the field. However, Wilson and the Jets would lose their next 3 games before defeating a not-very good Denver Broncos squad 31-21 last week — New York was a 2.5-point road underdog.
