Jacksonville Jaguars (2-6) vs. Philadelphia Eagles (5-2)
As we prepare for an interesting Week 9 in the NFL, the Jacksonville Jaguars head to Lincoln Financial Field, where they compete against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, November 3, 2024. The Jaguars need this game badly as they are sitting at an abysmal 2-6 record, while the Eagles are performing greatly with a 5-2 record. It will be broadcast on CBS at 4.05 PM ET. This is a key moment for both teams as they have a perspective on the playoffs. For those who are looking into NFL picks, this will be an interesting game. The fans will appreciate the disparity in the seasons each team has.
The duo of running back Tank Bigsby and wide — Brian Thomas Jr., are a few of the offensive players who have had some good displays this season for the jaguars. Bigsby has recorded a total of 493 rushing yards within 8 games played and managed to score 4 times with an average of 5.8 YPC, demonstrating good breakaway speed with solid moves. At the same time, Thomas has been involved heavily in the passing game winning a total of 33 receptions with 573 passing yards on the season so far, with his average reception being 17.4 yards. Regardless of both players performing above the average, this time Jacksonville requires a better level of overall team performance to improve the winning statistics.
The Eagles’ offense has had its fair share of glory thanks to running back Saquon Barkley and wide receiver A.J. Brown. Barkley contributed to the rushing game as he amassed 766 yards with an impressive 5.9 YPC and 5 touchdowns, making the Eagles harder to defend. In only four games played, Brown has managed 3 touchdowns and 408 receiving yards, which is an average of 102 yards a game. This ability to play the deep role complements Jalen Hurts’ throwing games.

Trevor Lawrence QB vs. Jalen Hurts QB
Trevor Lawrence, the quarterback at Jacksonville, has not lost hope. Lawrence’s important numbers are quite impressive. He has 1835 passing yards and 11 touchdowns through four interceptions but has a total of 16 sacks. He is the kind of quarterback who could expand the play with his arm strength, as evidenced by the 85-yard pass he made.
In contrast, Jalen Hurts of the Eagles is doing much better with his 69.1% pass completion with 1544 yards and eight touchdowns. He’s a dangerous quarterback with a passer rating of 98.6, which shows how good he is as a dual-threat quarterback.
NFL Odds/Point Spread: Philadelphia Eagles -360, Total Odds: 45.5
The betting odds are leaning heavily towards the Eagles, reflected in their -360 moneyline and a 7-point spread favoring them. The total set at 45.5 points, with the trends indicating a possible over, could entice bets given Jacksonville’s recent high-scoring games and Philadelphia’s offensive capabilities.
Jacksonville Jaguars Betting Trends
Jacksonville’s betting trends don’t inspire much confidence, with a concerning 3-11 record SU in their last 14 games and a 0-7 SU mark on the road. Their tendency to go OVER in total points in 5 of their last 6 games might be a silver lining for over bettors, emphasizing their high-scoring nature despite losses.
Philadelphia Eagles Betting Trends
Philadelphia, while 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games, has a strong 4-1 SU record in their last 5 games and a perfect 5-0 SU against teams from the AFC South. Their games have tended to go UNDER in 6 of the last 9, contrasting with Jacksonville’s OVER trend, setting up a fascinating aspect for total points bets.
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Philadelphia Eagles 11/3/2024 Betting Picks
Based on the data, it seems there are high chances of Philadelphia winning the game although the results will not come easy since Jacksonville is also a strong team. Therefore, the +7 spread for Jacksonville in my opinion is one that offers value to bettors. However, with Philadelphia’s control of the match right from the start, the odds of them winning the match should be higher. Nonetheless, the scoring ability of Jacksonville may reduce the margin of victory for Philadelphia.
For betters who plan on live betting on the game, I think it would be important to watch the first game and how it is played. These hints may prove to enhance the value of the live odds on Philadelphia if they are the underdog and Jacksonville gets a first-quarter lead. Also placing prop bets on what performance audience metrics such as rushing yards for Saquon Barkley or passing touchdowns for Trevor Lawrence, could be interesting.
Free Pick and Prediction: Philadelphia Eagles 28, Jacksonville Jaguars 24.
