Philadelphia coach Doug Pederson has a winning preseason record. They showed nothing last week in a loss to Tennessee when playing only two starters. Backup QB Nate Sudfeld (broken wrist) is out, so that means starter Carson Wentz will see the field in Week 2. This team made the playoffs last season and won the Super Bowl two years ago, so there is plenty of talent and depth. Meanwhile, Jacksonville coach Doug Marrone has a losing preseason record and is stuck with a terrible QB rotation in Gardner Minshew, Alex McGough and Tanner Lee. The trio had two picks and 44 total yards in a 29-0 loss to Baltimore last week. Marrone isn't going to play a lot of starters in Week 2. He doesn't want to play new starting QB Nick Foles until the offensive line is healthy and three O-line starters are injured and not expected to play this week. Marrone is taking a more cautious approach this preseason because of the injuries that ravaged the team last year, so back the talented and deep underdog. Play Philadelphia.
