The Eagles will be ranked #1 in mostly every power poll (slightly ahead of Miami) going into this game. They appear to be a complete team with Hurts playing at a high level and an excellent receiving corps lead by Devonta Smith and AJ Brown. Their defense got 9 sacks against Washington so they are not too shabby either. This game will be a great test for the Jaguars. As well as the Jags have been playing, I believe they can be competitive against anyone. It will take another near perfect game (like yesterday) to pull off the upset (Eagles should be favored by 5-7 points). Even if they lose a close game, their confidence should be sky high going into a critical part of their schedule which looks much easier than when the season began. Of their next 5 games (Houston, Indy, Giants, Broncos and Raiders), all can be won if they play at the same level as yesterday. It is still very unlikely that they are 7-2 following this stretch since the Raiders and Broncos are likely to get much better, but it is very realistic to believe they will be 5-4- at the least. I'd say most Jaguars fans would have taken that record after 9 games when the season started.
