The Philadelphia Eagles enter this game with a record of 5-0 following a 23-14 win on the road against the Los Angeles Rams while covering the 3.5-point spread as a road favorite in week 5 of the NFL season. Philadelphia scored 23 points while compiling a total of 454 yards offensively which included 303 passing yards and 159 rushing yards while allowing 14 points and 249 total yards defensively which included 222 passing yards and 54 rushing yards.

BookMaker has the Philadelphia Eagles listed as 6.5-point favorites on the road against the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon in week 6 of the NFL season. Philadelphia has won the last seven games in the series while winning by an average margin of 12.57 points per game over the last seven and 15.67 points per game over the last three meetings while going 6-1 ATS in the last seven and 3-0 ATS in the last three games in the series. The Eagles are 3-1-1 ATS overall, 3-0 ATS on the road, and 3-1-1 ATS as a favorite this season while the New York Jets are 3-2 ATS overall, 2-1 ATS at home, and 3-2 ATS as an underdog on the year.

This season has been a tale of two different teams the Philadelphia Eagles entered the season as one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl while the New York Jets were supposed to be in the playoff mix in the AFC, however, bad luck continues for the Jets as they lost Aaron Rodgers in week 1 at the beginning of the games and have not looked great on offense for the majority of the season. The Eagles would have no problem continuing their dominance in this series, a series in which they have won the last seven meetings in a row and have also been nearly perfect at covering the spread going 6-1 in those contests which is why I will be buying the .5 point and taking the Philadelphia Eagles -6 on the road against the New York Jets in week 6 of the NFL season.
