Eagles vs. Jaguars: 5 bold predictions for Sunday’s matchup in London

By admin — In News — October 10, 2026

   ​The Philadelphia Eagles head to London for a Week 5 matchup that could reveal a lot about where this team stands. The Jacksonville Jaguars have shown they can create turnovers, disrupt opposing offenses, and capitalize on mistakes. That gives Philadelphia plenty to worry about, even outside the international setting.Predicting an Eagles win might be the popular choice among fans in midnight and Kelly green, but Jacksonville has the upper hand for a few reasons. The Jaguars are favored for a few good reasons. Let’s have some fun anyway. From a bold prediction for an inexperienced offensive lineman to a potentially frustrating afternoon for Philadelphia’s offense, here are five theories about how Sunday’s game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will go.Willie Lampkin allows zero pressures or sacksThere isn’t much NFL game film on Willie Lampkin, so Eagles fans are relying on spring and summer reports, training camp observations, and preseason action. One thing seems certain, though: At 5-foot-11 and 279 pounds, Lampkin will have to rely on technique, leverage, and relentless effort against defenders who have a significant size advantage.The odds are stacked against him in his first significant opportunity, but that doesn’t mean he’s destined to struggle. Lampkin will have to win with quick hands and a low center of gravity, and we expect him to hold his ground for four quarters. Bold prediction: Lampkin allows zero pressures and zero sacks.Will Shipley records 80 all-purpose yardsWill Shipley has rarely been asked to shoulder a significant workload.

Shipley also caught four passes for 35 yards.An 80-yard all-purpose performance would represent a meaningful contribution, particularly against a Jacksonville defense that entered Week 5 allowing just 74.3 rushing yards per game. Shipley doesn’t need to become a workhorse to make an impact, either. A handful of effective runs and a few catches out of the backfield could get him there. Still, don’t expect a massive workload. Prediction: Shipley finishes with 80 yards from scrimmage, falling short of 100.The Eagles commit zero turnovers versus a defense that has feastedThis prediction might sound conservative, but it would be a significant accomplishment against a Jacksonville defense that has made takeaways a defining part of its identity. The Jaguars enter Week 5 with eight takeaways, tied for the second-most in the NFL.Jacksonville has also been particularly dangerous in the red zone, recording three red-zone takeaways in 2026. No other team had more than one entering the week, making ball security especially important whenever Philadelphia reaches scoring territory.The Eagles will need to protect the football, make sound decisions, and avoid giving Jacksonville extra opportunities. They’ll help themselves slightly by keeping one of the
