The Eagles look good here. New York just doesn’t seem up to the task, even with their recent victory over Denver. Notably, Jets’ quarterback Zach Wilson threw for a modest 199 yards in their last outing. The spotlight, however, was on the ground game, with a standout performance from their running back, Breece Hall. Yet, repeating a 173-yard performance on the ground is unlikely two weeks in a row.
The key difference-maker in this matchup appears to be the Eagles’ robust front seven. They’ve showcased their dominance on the defensive side of the ball, being instrumental in many of the team’s successes this season. Philadelphia is looking like one of the best teams in football right now, perhaps even ahead of the San Francisco 49ers.

And then there’s Eagles’ Coach Nick Sirianni. Drawing comparisons with the 49ers’ Coach Kyle Shanahan, Sirianni deserves more credit for his coaching acumen. He deserves to be right there with Shanahan for coach of the year. With a 5-0 record on the defensive front, it’s hard to argue against him.
While many may regard Shanahan as one of the premier coaches in the league, Sirianni is making a solid case for himself with the Eagles’ impressive performances. As the Eagles and Jets gear up for their showdown at MetLife Stadium, the narrative is clear: The Eagles are favored, and many believe they have what it takes to secure a decisive victory.
