The Philadelphia Eagles face significant challenges due to recent injuries and retirements, including those of offensive linemen Lane Johnson and Cam Jurgens, as well as center Drew Kendall being ruled out with a knee injury. The Jacksonville Jaguars are favored by 7.5 points in their London game against the struggling Eagles, who also lack star running back Saquon Barkley and receiver Devonta Smith. Analyst Malik Smith predicts that the Eagles' depleted roster will struggle against the Jags’ strong defensive performance, leading him to bet on Jacksonville covering the spread.

Story summary
The Jacksonville Jaguars will play their 15th regular season game in London against the Philadelphia Eagles at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on October 11, starting at 9:30 a.m. ET and broadcasted on NFL Network. With the Eagles facing numerous injuries including Saquon Barkley, Devonta Smith, and key offensive linemen Lane Johnson and Cam Jurgens, experts predict the Jaguars will have an advantage despite the international setting. The Jaguars boast one of the league's top defenses, allowing just 13.3 points per game, making it challenging for the injured Eagles to score. The game is part of the NFL’s 2026 International Series schedule and marks the first of two consecutive London games for the Jaguars.
