Prediction

Jalen Hurts is 22-1 in his last 23 regular season starts. The Philadelphia Eagles have NEVER lost to the Jets and will enter today’s game a perfect 12-0 against New York all-time. 

The game plan for the Eagles against the Jets is clear as day. Put the ball in Zach Wilson’s hand and make him beat you. Losing Jalen Carter up front against a rush-heavy offensive game plan from the Jets with Breece Hall running well is certainly not ideal but the depth and personnel on defense for the Birds should be perfectly fine.

The Jets inability to move and really, pass the football on offense with Zach Wilson under center will ultimately lose them this game by double digits.

Lay the points with the Eagles on the road against the New York Jets.
