Jaguars vs Eagles Predictions and Picks for Week 9: Brown Torches Jacksonville's Secondary

A.J. Brown has done the heavy lifting for the Eagles offense in recent weeks, and we expect more of the same on Sunday when he takes on a porous Jaguars defense.

My analysis

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown missed three games due to injury but he’s been fantastic outside of that, especially since returning. He opened the season with 119 yards on five catches (10 targets) and a touchdown against the Packers in Brazil, but he didn't see game action until after the Eagles’ bye week.

Brown’s picked up right where he left off, however, racking up at least 84 yards in each of his last three games since the injury. Fellow wide receiver DeVonta Smith is nursing an injury, and with the WR2 not being 100%, Brown should get even more of the target share than normal. 

Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars defense is extremely susceptible to big days for receivers. Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Nico Collins, and Alec Pierce have all gone over the century mark this season, and Brown is right up with them at the position.

We’re paying a bit of juice here at -150, so don’t be afraid to take an alternate total or ladder it up given Brown’s two 100-yard performances this season.

Jaguars vs Eagles same-game parlay

Eagles moneyline

We’re keeping it simple with a Brown-focused same-game parlay. He didn’t find the end zone last week but did in his first four games of the season. Jalen Hurts should be able to find him for a score at home on Sunday.

The Eagles are the much better team here and taking them on the moneyline feels like a safe leg to get us up to +230.
