Why Bet on the Philadelphia Eagles?

The Eagles struggle to fight back from their 2020 NFL season after ending with a 4-11 record and last place in the NFC East. They failed to score against the Patriots in their last game and gave up 35 points. There’s plenty of work to be done, and the team is pressed for time with only one preseason game left in their schedule. New head coach Nick Sirianni looks to change things up and introduce a program that will bring the Eagles back to playoff contention.

Once again, Joe Flacco will try to utilize his experience to help propel the Eagles forward. However, he had an underwhelming game against the Pats last weekend, putting down only 83 yards in 10-of-17 completions. Nick Mullens failed to deliver too after (27 passing yards on a 5-of-10 passing performance). The receiving corps was led by Jack Stoll with 33 yards on 4 receptions. Right behind him was Kenneth Gainwell with 32 yards and 3 receptions.

Why Bet on the New York Jets?

Following their clash with the Packers, the Jets must be feeling great. Zach Wilson put up a solid performance, one that saw him register a 154.7 passer rating. He passed for 128 yards on 9-of-11 passing in his previous game against the Packers. He enjoyed the services of wide receiver Corey Davis, who had 70 yards on 4 receptions. Furthermore, Tyler Kroft was the star of the show with 36 yards and two touchdowns on two receptions.

The 2020 season found the Jets at the bottom of the AFC East with a 2-14 record, and they are ready to bounce back with coach Robert Saleh. True enough, the first-year head coach brought new elements to the team, allowing them to win their first two preseason games. With momentum on their side, we await with enthusiasm what they can bring against the Eagles.

Eagles vs. Jets Expert Betting Predictions

The New York Jets showed plenty of improvement since the start of the preseason, and they are beginning to develop into one of the more exciting teams this year. After bagging two wins in the preseason, they now have the pace to close out another victory. Meanwhile, the Eagles will try to get out of this slump and find a win before the regular season begins.

It’s clear that the Eagles enter the game as underdogs here when looking at their previous games, but there’s still a chance for the team to cover the spread if they take control of the tempo early on. Ultimately, this remains an interesting contest for those who want to get a glimpse of both teams before the 2021 NFL season takes off.
