Tony Boselli, Jaguars analyst and previous Jaguars left tackle
The Jaguars will win if: They dont permit the fast-beginning Eagles to get the large early leads they've taken the closing couple of weeks. It could be a adverse surroundings in Philly and this younger Jaguars group need to bear the early chaos and in shape the Eagles early. The satisfactory manner to do that is to get Robinson going early. The satisfactory manner to take the gang out is long, clock-ingesting drives. The Eagles will win if: Their protection could make the Jaguars one-dimensional through taking Robinson and strolling lower back Travis Etienne Jr. out of the sport and making it a recreation with Lawrence pressured to throw 50 times. With the Eagles byskip rush and a Philly crowd, they’ll placed the Jaguars in a role in which it’d be hard to win.
As Boselli sees it: This is the Jaguars` hardest recreation up to now on this younger season. The Eagles are the closing closing undefeated group withinside the league, however I suppose at approximately 4:15 p.m. Sunday the 1972 Miami Dolphins could be elevating their champagne glasses as soon as again: Jaguars 21, Eagles 17.
Frank Frangie, Radio Voice of the Jaguars
The Jaguars will win if: They hold doing what theyre doing: stuffing the run, dashing the passer, and growing turnovers. Offensively, Lawrence is getting the ball out quick and the Jaguars had been very efficient. I additionally suppose they'll hold to combine in specific weapons, with huge receiver Zay Jones becoming a member of the fray closing week. Both strolling backs had been effective. One key right here is to hold Hurts withinside the pocket. That is some thing the Jags havent needed to fear approximately in latest weeks.
The Eagles will win if: They pressure Lawrence to throw off schedule, which the Colts and Chargers had been not able to do. They additionally want to get Hurts out of the pocket; the Jaguars have demonstrated they may be excellent towards a pocket passer. And the Eagles want to stuff Jaguars strolling lower back James Robinson, who appears to be gaining self assurance through the week.
As Frangie sees it: This might be one of the satisfactory video games of the NFL weekend. The key’s Hurts, who rushed for nearly 800 yards closing season and could be through some distance the maximum cell quarterback the Jags have confronted this season. If the Jaguars incorporate him and hold to shield Lawrence, this one may want to come right all the way down to the wire. And the Jags may want to win it.
Brent Martineau, Action Sports Jax Sports Director
The Jaguars will win if: They win the 1/3 zone again. The Jaguars and Eagles are each gambling virtually well, so locating a awesome gain for one group is difficult. The Jags had been exquisite withinside the 1/3 zone this season, scoring on 5 of six possessions and netting 30 factors. The Eagles have scored 14 factors withinside the complete 2d 1/2 of all season. If the Jags do it again, they win.
The Eagles will win if: They play a turnover-unfastened first 1/2 of. One of the keys early this season has been turnovers for the Jaguars, particularly early in video games. The turnovers have helped set the tone and feature staked the Jaguars to early leads. The Jags are proving to be an excellent front-strolling group. If the Eagles hold the ball farfar from the Jags, they are able to construct a lead and they`ve been correct at that the primary 3 weeks.
As Martineau sees it: Why not! The Jaguars are gambling like a virtually correct soccer group. The Eagles are, too. Philly hasnt had the maximum daunting of schedules, though, and I suppose the Jaguars wins are greater impressive. I suppose the Eagles will make a few errors on this one and the Jags` self assurance is thru the roof. I even have the Jags prevailing one for Pederson, 31-23.
