Eagles vs Jaguars betting guide: Odds, props and picks

Eagles vs Jaguars betting guide: Odds, props and picks originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

After a 2-0 start, the Eagles are a rudderless ship, on the heels of two straight losses, the more recent of which a 24-20, injury-riddled loss to a Rams team who was begging to lose the game. Throw in future Hall of Famer Lane Johnson’s sudden retirement and the trade of Pro Bowl C/G Cam Jurgens, and this 7-hour flight to London to take on the 3-1 Jaguars, who have looked strong early on.

Eagles (2-2) vs Jaguars (3-1), Sunday 9:30am

Point spread/ML: Eagles +7.5/+295 Jaguars -7.5/-370

Total: 41.5 points

Analysis: In addition to Johnson and Jurgens, the Eagles have been ravaged by injuries thus far. They are on their third string running back, their third center, and likely missing their top receiver in DeVonta Smith. It would take a Herculean effort to overcome this team, halfway around the world. This one doesn’t need much guesswork.

Pick: Jaguars -7.5

Passing Props (O/U)

Jalen Hurts: 193.5 pass yds, 0.5 TD (-210/+154), 19.5 completions, 31.5 attempts

Trevor Lawrence: 225.5 pass yds, 1.5 TD (-114/-114), 18.5 completions, 30.5 attempts

Analysis: No DeVonta Smith, Dontavion Wicks and Dallas Goedert are uncertain for Sunday, but the Jaguars are among the worst pass defenses in the game. Hurts will be throwing quite a bit, to whom is another question.

Picks: Hurts OVER attempts; Lawrence UNDER yards

Rushing Props (O/U)

Bhayshul Tuten – 65.5 yards
Will Shipley – 37.5 yards
Chris Rodriguez – 26.5 yards
Hurts – 26.5 yards
Lawrence – 14.5 yards

Analysis: Shipley is the Eagles’ 3^rd-string RB, pressed into duty after injuries to Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby. He has limited experience – career highs of 10 carries and 34 yards – and it’s a tall order to ask him to perform in front of this offensive line, against the #2 run defense in the NFL.

With that said, I think this could be the week for a different wrinkle: Hurts designed runs. The Eagles haven’t run more than a couple to this point, but anything goes when you’re this shorthanded.

Tuten has been strong this season, every game at least 65 yards.

Picks: Hurst OVER yards; Tuten OVER yards, Lawrence UNDER yards

Receiving Props (O/U)

Parker Washington – 60.5 yards, 4.5 receptions
Dontayvion Wicks – 47.5 yards; 3.5 receptions
Jakobi Meyers – 41.5 yards; 3.5 receptions
Brenton Strange – 33.5 yards; 3.5 receptions
Makai Lemon – 32.5 yards, 3.5 receptions
Brian Thomas – 24.5 yards; 2.5 receptions
Shipley – 13.5 yards; 2.5 receptions
Josh Cameron – 12.5 yards; 1.5 receptions
Tuten – 9.5 yards; 1.5 receptions

Analysis: Playing this from the Jaguars’ perspective is challenging. They have had three different leading receivers over the past three games. Parker Washington is a great receiver, yet he had one catch on 3 targets last week. I think that turns around Sunday morning. Tuten is a reliable weapon in the passing game, with seven catches in four games.

Lemon could be a go-to by default!

Picks: Washington OVER yards, Tuten OVER receptions; Lemon OVER yards, OVER receptions

Anytime Touchdown

Tuten -105
Washington +140
Hurts +185
Shipley +250
Meyers +270
Strange +290
Lawrence +310
Wicks +330
Goedert +340

Analysis: Tuten has scored in 2/L3, and will get every opportunity to cash in this one. Tough to pin down a Jags receiver, they distribute the ball very well. Goedert has been limited in practice, but if he plays, he’s worth a run here.

Picks: Tuten, Wicks, Goedert

Julius Randle leads by example in Nets’ preseason win over 76ers

An image collage containing 1 images, Image 1 shows Julius Randle shoots a jumper over Joel Embiid during the Nets' 114-108 preseason win over the 76ers on Oct. 8, 2026 in Philadelphia

Jordi Fernández has constantly preached that he wants his Nets to play hard and disrupt defensively. It’s only preseason, but so far he has gotten just that.

And there was no clearer example than one picture worth a thousand words in Thursday night’s 114-108 win over Philadelphia, with Julius Randle hustling and pressing and diving on the floor for a loose ball.

That’s a soon-to-be 32-year-old veteran whose attitude was questioned in Minnesota.

One salary dumped by a contending Timberwolves squad to the rebuilding Nets. That Randle, the only All-Star on the roster diving for loose balls and picking up full court.

“I mean, you said it, three-time All-Star, has been in the playoffs multiple times, and he’s coming here and the first one to dive on the floor and to pick up full court,” Fernández said. “I couldn’t ask for a better leader and a better vet right there, or a grown-up — because obviously he’s not old. He’s a very young player.

“Very happy because we need that and that’s contagious. Those to me [are] what we call winning plays, right? You dive for a ball, you get it, and then we score. So that picks up the momentum and the energy in the building. So very, very happy with that play And there [were] other plays where we tried to do the same thing.”

Randle finished with a team-high 14 points and a team-high-tying six rebounds, along with two steals and two assists in 21:37.

The power forward said that he and Fernández have discussed his playing some small-ball center in five-out schemes.

Michael Porter Jr. (left wrist soreness), Day’Ron Sharpe (left shoulder soreness), Mikel Brown Jr. (ankle recovery) and Joshua Jefferson (lower back) were all out.

It’s unclear if any will play Monday in Washington.

“I don’t know,” Fernández said. “We’ll see how they feel. Mike was just sore. Mikel is doing a great job, getting close to get back. So we’ll assess them. … We have a day off [Friday], see how they feel coming back and making those decisions. But we’re happy with where everybody is right now health-wise.”

The Nets have signed guard Dion Brown.

Mo Wagner started in place of Sharpe.

He said he’s still getting used to Brookyn’s defense, but he notched a game-high four steals.

Chaney Johnson added two more steals, along with a couple of blocks.

“I take a lot of pride in my defense. That’s my calling card,” Johnson told The Post.

Johnson, on a two-way contract, played a lot of center Thursday at just 6-foot-8.

“Yeah, his versatility, multi-positional, really strong, can guard multiple positions,” Fernández said. “He can play on both sides of the floor [and] played multiple positions.”
