Philadelphia Eagles @ Jacksonville Jaguars, London, 9:30 AM ET
The London game in Week 5 is honestly a de-facto home game for the Jacksonville Jaguars, as it feels like they are always playing in London at this point. The Jaguars come into this game having beaten the Cincinnati Bengals. They now sit at 3-1 on the season and have two blowout wins, and a close loss on their record as well.
The Jaguars are simply a very good football team. Their as well-coached as any team in the NFL and have a QB in Trevor Lawrence who has played like an MVP candidate since about the mid-way point of the 2025 season.
Defensively, Jacksonville is almost always a stingy unit, and it's simply tough to gain yards on them. On the flip side, the Eagles are spiraling out of control and blew a double-digit lead to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4. The Eagles now sit at 2-2, but it feels like as ugly a 2-2 as you can get, as none of their wins are particularly impressive.
Philly's offense is in a rough spot, too. The injuries are mounting, and QB Jalen Hurts continues to prove why he's incapable of elevating that unit. His inability to target the middle of the field or play on time is something that keeps hurting the ceiling on offense.
And not to mention, Vic Fangio's defense has been uncharacteristically bad this year, too. Overall, the Eagles are regressing, and the Jaguars feel like one of the best teams in football at the moment. This game should go as we expect. I don't believe Philly has any sort of chance at an upset. The Jaguars are too good a team to lose to the poorly-run Eagles.
Give me the Jaguars by 14 points.
Prediction: Jaguars win 30-16
