Eagles vs. Jets NFL Picks & NFL Prediction for Week 6:

 

The Philadelphia Eagles, boasting an undefeated 5-0 record, are set to face off against the New York Jets (2-3) this Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium. The Eagles have an unblemished all-time record against the Jets, dating back to their first meeting in 1973. Initially, this matchup was hyped to be a clash of titans with Aaron Rodgers joining the Jets, but his season-ending injury in the opener deflated those expectations. Now, the Jets are back to relying on Zach Wilson, who led them to an unexpected overtime win against the Buffalo Bills but has since struggled.

In contrast, the Eagles pulled off a 23-14 win against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5, despite trailing in the first half. Quarterback Jalen Hurts orchestrated a 75-yard drive in the final 32 seconds of the first half to take the lead, and the defense held strong for a 9-point victory. Given these dynamics, our expert NFL Picks lean towards the Eagles maintaining their winning streak against the Jets. For those looking to place bets, the best online betting sites offer various options, including Eagles vs. Jets Predictions that favor Philadelphia at -7.0 (-108).

  • Date: Sunday, October 15, 2023
  • Kick Off: 4:26 PM ET
  • Location: Met Life Stadium   
  • Where to Watch: FOX 

The Philadelphia Eagles are coming into their matchup against the Jets with an offense that's been efficient, if not always flashy. Averaging 28.2 points per game, the Eagles rank 5th in the NFL. Their 5.6 yards per play places them 9th, and they boast one of the best offensive lines in the league. D'Andre Swift has been a key factor in their ground game, averaging 5.7 yards per carry. Despite their efficiency, the Eagles have struggled in the red zone, converting only 42% of their opportunities. Jalen Hurts, who threw for over 300 yards in their last outing, completes 67% of his passes with an average depth of completion of 7.2 yards. These stats make him a strong candidate for NFL Player Props, especially against a tough Jets defense.

Defensively, the Eagles have been middling, allowing 20.8 points per game. They rank 26th in the league in 3rd down defense, allowing conversions 45.5% of the time, and their red zone defense is even more porous, ranking 30th with a 75% success rate allowed. Despite these vulnerabilities, their run defense has been solid, giving up just 3.4 yards per carry. This sets up an interesting dynamic against the Jets' backfield, which will likely try to exploit any weaknesses on the ground. Given these factors, NFL Predictions for this game could hinge on the Eagles' ability to improve their red zone efficiency on both sides of the ball.


The New York Jets snapped a three-game losing streak with a 31-21 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 5. As 2-point road underdogs, the Jets dominated the second half, amassing 407 total yards while limiting the Broncos to 308. Zach Wilson's performance was solid, completing 19 of 26 passes for 199 yards, albeit with an interception. Breece Hall was the standout, rushing for 177 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. These stats make both Wilson and Hall intriguing options for NFL Player Props  in the upcoming Eagles vs. Jets matchup.

Despite losing Aaron Rodgers in Week 1, the Jets are managing to score an average of 18.6 points per game, ranking them 24th in the NFL. Wilson has thrown for 911 yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions so far this season. Hall has accumulated 387 rushing yards and a touchdown on 54 carries, while Garrett Wilson has 24 catches for 279 yards and two touchdowns. Defensively, the Jets are allowing an average of 21.0 points per game, ranking 14th in the league. They're also 14th in passing yards allowed per game (206.4) but lag at 29th in rushing yards allowed (146.2). Given these stats, Eagles vs. Jets Predictions  could hinge on the Jets' ability to contain the Eagles' potent offense while capitalizing on their own emerging stars.

 

 

Philadelphia Eagles vs. New York Jets NFL Picks & Odds

The Eagles have a strong track record when it comes to their ground game, and it's unlikely the Jets will be able to contain them effectively. Given the Eagles' prowess in rushing and their search for a fourth consecutive ATS win on the road, laying points with the Eagles seems like a solid bet. This aligns well with historical data; since 1987, the Eagles have a 9-0 SU and 8-1 ATS record against the Jets. On the flip side, New York's recent performance doesn't inspire confidence, with a 3-6 ATS record in their last nine games and a 1-4 ATS in their last five against NFC teams.

For those interested in NFL Picks, the Eagles' strong ground game could offer some intriguing options. Meanwhile, the Jets will likely struggle to establish a run game against the Eagles, putting more pressure on Zach Wilson, who has been inconsistent. Given these factors, the Eagles vs. Jets Predictions point towards taking the Philadelphia Eagles at -7.0 (-108).
