The Philadelphia Eagles (5-0) will take on the New York Jets (2-3) at Met Life Stadium Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Eagles vs. Jets odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
Twelve and 0. This is the Eagles’ all-time record against the Jets — the 1st meeting was in 1973 with Philly pulling out a 24-23 win at home. The Eagles will look to keep the streak alive as they travel up the New Jersey Turnpike for this Sunday tilt.
Things were supposed to change after the Jets acquired QB Aaron Rodgers in the offseason. This was expected to be a marquee matchup with the Jets having a legitimate shot against the defending NFC champions, but Rodgers suffered a season-ending injury in the season opener and the air fizzled out of the hype balloon.
The injury forced New York to turn back to QB Zach Wilson, who managed to steer the Jets to an stunning 22-16 overtime home win vs. the Buffalo Bills after Rodgers was stretchered off the field. However, Wilson and the Jets would lose their next 3 games before defeating a not-very good Denver Broncos squad 31-21 last week — New York was a 2.5-point road underdog.
The Eagles had a harder time in Week 5, winning as 4-point road favorites at the Los Angeles Rams 23-14. Philly trailed 14-10 late in the 1st half before QB Jalen Hurts engineered a 75-yard drive in the final 32 seconds to take a 17-14 lead as time expired. Philly would only score 6 more points — 2 field goals — in the 4th quarter, but the defense shut down the Rams for the 9-point victory.

Eagles at Jets picks and predictions
Prediction
Eagles 30, Jets 6
Moneyline
PASS.
The Eagles will prevail, but it’s not smart to bet on a -300 favorite — a number too high to be of value.
Against the spread
BET PHILADELPHIA -6.5 (-110).
The Eagles are 3-1-1 ATS this season. In Week 4, they were pressed to overtime by the Washington Commanders before escaping with a 34-31 home win as 10-point favorites. The “push” came in a 34-28 victory as 6-point home favorites against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2.
On the road, Philadelphia is 3-0 ATS.
Facing the Eagles defense will be a tough challenge for the Jets and Wilson. New York’s offensive line will find it difficult to hold up against the likes of DLs Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham. Wilson will be running for his life all afternoon and the Jets’ offensive output will be limited.
The line of PHILADELPHIA -6.5 is not high enough to deter a wager.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 41.5 (-110).
Philadelphia has been scoring 28.2 points per game (PPG) to rank 5th in the NFL. Even after scoring 31 against a dismantled Broncos defense, the Jets only average 18.6 PPG, ranking 24th.
Behind RB Breece Hall (177 rushing yards last week vs. Denver), New York will look to run the ball, thereby slowing the game down and limiting the number of possessions Philadelphia gets on offense. We saw last Sunday against the Rams that the Eagles are comfortable doing the same thing as they produced 2 drives of 7-plus minutes in the second half.
The Jets average 123.2 rushing yards per game (11th in the NFL), but the Eagles defense leads the league in least rushing yards allowed at 61.2 per game. The winner of this ground-game matchup will dictate the contest.
Expect a blowout in favor of Philly and a low-scoring affair. UNDER 41.5 (-110) is the way to go.
