Eagles vs Jets Prediction
The current betting odds have the Eagles listed as a 7 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Eagles have been great in their games this season with their undefeated 5-0 record and they are only 1 of 2 teams in the NFL who haven't lost this year. The Jets are only 2-3 this season and they are coming off a road win in their last game but their offense has struggled a lot with Wilson starting and their defense has had to keep them in a lot of games. The Eagles also have a good defense though and they are going to cause problems for Wilson and the Jets offense since they have been improving more and more in their games lately. The Eagles offense is also a lot better than the Jets offense and they will keep the Jets defense on the field for long periods of time and wear them down throughout the game. The Eagles will eventually pull away on this tired Jets defense and there will be no way back in this game for Wilson and the Jets offense. The best way to place a bet here is on the Eagles to cover the spread in this game.
Eagles Jets Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, October 15, 2023 (4:25 pm ET start time) is Eagles 27 Jets 17.

Notable Quotes
“Not to pour more water into that jug, but it's something we've been able to do at a high level. It's clear that it doesn't always work for everyone else, so we just want to continue to execute whenever it's called. ... We just want to continue to grow. It's truly about growing.” - Jalen Hurts after their win against the LA Rams in their last game.
“You know, it feels good to get a win in the league against anybody. But it was a special game for Hack, obviously, being here a year ago. We racked up over 400 yards on them, put up 31 points.” - Robert Saleh after his team’s win against the Broncos in their last game.
