The Eagles saw the comeback of their star quarterback Michael Vick a week ago when beating the Dolphins in Miami. This win held a mathematical playoff chance alive and made the team 5-8 for the season. The Eagles were not as outstanding as the 26-10 victory may seem even though Eagle devotees were definitely fired up by the win as well as seeing Vick on the playing field. A poor Dolphin offense coughed up the ball repeatedly giving the Eagles easy chances to score. They’ll have more trouble versus the NY Jets even though the Eagles defense is to be given credit for their performance.
NFL odds
The New York Jets have an offense ranked number 7 in scoring for all squads in the league. As they make a run for the playoffs, they’re 8-5 for the season and have won three competitions in a row. Trailing the Patriots in their division by 2 competitions, the NY Jets are seeking to earn a wildcard placement. At this time, they’re in the playoffs as the second wildcard, but the Raiders, Bengals, and Titans are merely a game behind. The NY Jets have to finish the season strong to win a playoff spot. Their frame of mind for Sunday’s match will be something else entirely. With the playoffs on the horizon, competing in Philadelphia will probably not be an excellent distraction, but will be an obstacle to get over.

The beginning line was Eagles -1 with the odds presently drifting to -1.5 at the internet sportsbook. Obviously the Vick element is at play here as too much has been made of the Eagle’s star quarterback. Last week’s victory was versus a weak team, and that makes the NY Jets a strong bet, if merely considering they ought to be a minor favorite in this game. This writer projects the NY Jets to win by six in what might be a good game.
