The Jaguars and Eagles’ clash brings together two teams with dynamic quarterbacks and playoff ambitions. Jacksonville’s Lawrence continues to mature, displaying both accuracy and confidence in his second full season with head coach Doug Pederson. Lawrence’s connection with wide receiver Calvin Ridley and the Jaguars’ balanced offensive scheme allows for consistent production, particularly in the passing game. Travis Etienne’s contributions in the run game also add balance, keeping defenses from focusing solely on Lawrence. However, Jacksonville’s offensive line has faced occasional challenges against high-powered defensive fronts, and the Eagles’ pass rush will test its durability and adaptability.

Philadelphia, led by Hurts, has shown they can excel both in the air and on the ground. Hurts, supported by a potent lineup that includes A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, is capable of moving the ball efficiently downfield. Additionally, the Eagles’ run game, with Kenneth Gainwell and Hurts’ own mobility, provides another layer of difficulty for opposing defenses. Philadelphia’s defense, ranked among the league’s best in creating pressure, is especially dangerous at home, where their crowd further amplifies their energy. The Eagles’ secondary will need to contain Ridley and limit Etienne’s ground success, but Philadelphia’s home-field advantage and defensive discipline may give them the edge.
