Another outstanding looking Sunday begins in London as the final match in the English capital takes place at Wembley Stadium when two sides with losing records meet as the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Jaguars are making London something of a second home and will be used to playing at Wembley having played there for the last few years. The Eagles have been over before as well which should assist in getting a decent game.
Jacksonville Jaguars
A trip to London might have come at the right time for the Jacksonville Jaguars even if four of their defensive players were involved in a hoo-hah in the city on Friday evening. They crossed the pond on a losing run of three straight games which they will be looking to end in London having already seen their divisional rivals Houston Texans win big this week.
The Jacksonville defence was exposed in Dallas a couple of weeks ago but the real reason for their struggles have been a stuttering offense. Blake Bortles was benched last week such were the problems and although he has been confirmed as the starting quarterback here you wouldn’t think it will take much for that to change once again.
Philadelphia Eagles
The champions head to London with a 3-4 record for the season after they surrendered a big lead to lose to the Carolina Panthers last week. They could do with the win here to go 4-4 for the campaign and into their bye week to allow them to regroup and make a real charge for the division title and the chance to retain the overall crown.
This is an Eagles side who have stuttered so far this season. That can be expected a little though. Managing expectation is never the easiest thing to do after a title campaign but they need to forget last year now and concentrate on the here and now. They have the second best run defence in the league this year which should be significant here.

Betting
We’ve seen two low scoring London matches so far and I fancy this one will complete the hat trick. I say that because the Jacksonville Jaguars offense has plenty of issues right now and I’m expecting the Philadelphia Eagles defence to come and play here.
Jacksonville will need their own defence to help them out here and in fairness it is the second ranked D in the entire league. I wouldn’t say we’re going to get a wholly defensive battle but I expect the defences to do enough to cap the scoring to stay under 44.5pts.
