Jacksonville at Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Eagles are in what used to be a strong division, the NFC East. That has changed recently as these teams have all been up and down. The last five seasons have seen all four teams win the division. The Eagles are the default favorite to win it this year. But, there are some question marks yet to be answered. Will Nick Foles follow up a 27 TD to just 2 INT campaign in his second season? How much will they miss DeSean Jackson? It has been over a decade since a team has repeated as NFC East champions, so history is against them. Jacksonville has to be impressed with what they saw in Blake Bortles during the preseason. They should immediately improve as this is a QB-driven league. I think a lot of the double-digit spread applies to last season's horrible team, but they will be better this season. Let's not forget the progress this team made a season ago. After starting the season 0-8, losing all eight games by 10 points or more, they finished 4-4, losing just two by more than 10 points. The QB upgrade should make them better, so I look for Jacksonville to hang around here. And don't forget that Philly is just 3-13 ATS the past two seasons at home. Take the generous points on the Jaguars.
