The Jets and Eagles both enter Week 6 off big wins. The Eagles stayed undefeated at SoFi, edging out the Rams 23-14.
And we saw Jets handle business in the ‘Hackett Bowl’; moving them to 2-3 on the season.
The Jets are returning home after their win in the Mile High City, and the Eagles are on the second of back to back road games. First in Los Angeles, now traveling across the country to East Rutherford, New Jersey.
It seemed like the Eagles, Niners, and Cowboys were favorites to win the Super Bowl. With the Cowboys losing 2 of their last 3 games, the Eagles have an opportunity to put some distance between themselves and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
Big matchup here in Week 6, let’s get into our best bets!

Eagles vs. Jets Breakdown & Best Bets
Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles enter Week 6 still undefeated. Hurts is averaging 252 pass yards/game and he’s thrown six touchdowns and four interceptions. May not be ‘MVP’ type numbers, but they’re winnings games.
Despite the slight turnover issues, this Philly team looks good; ready for a long season and post-season.
On the other side of the ball we’ve got the New York Jets are still trying to get it together after the Aaron Rodgers injury.
They’ve managed to go 2-3, edging out the Bills in Week 1, and then running it up on the Broncos last week. Zack Wilson looked terrible early on, but he’s since kind of picked it up.
In the last two weeks, Wilson’s thrown the ball 65 times for 444 yards with a 72.3% completion rate; throwing 2 TDs and 1 interception. These numbers aren’t stellar, but with this Jets defense, Zack Wilson doesn’t have to be amazing.

Thankfully our friends over at Bovada are going let us bring some of the juice down on Conklin here.
Conklin is quickly becoming a favourite target for Zack Wilson. Conklin has now seen 5+ targets in 4 straight weeks, recording 3+ receptions in every game.
He’s become Wilson’s safety blanket, and outlet valve. Conklin’s average depth of target this year is just 6.87 yards, he’s seeing short throws and providing Wilson an easy target.
Wilson ranks in the bottom 4, among all starting QBs, in throws of 10+/20+/30+ yards. His deep ball remains flawed, and if the Jets hope to stay in this game, they’ll have to move the ball methodically down field, limiting turnovers.
Enter Ty Conklin, of his 23 targets this year, 18 have been catchable; with just a single drop. Compare that to Garret Wilson; 43 targets, 26 catchable targets, and just two drops.
This isn’t to take away from Wilson, it’s just to demonstrate the types of targets each player is seeing. Zack’s been sacked 14 times this season, now lines up against one of the scariest defensive lines in football.
Through the first 3 weeks of the season, the Eagles recorded just 6 sacks; since then they’ve gotten to the QB 9 times over 2 games. They’re finally hitting their stride as a unit, and this Jets team just surrendered 4 sacks to the Broncos.
Expect Wilson to look for Conklin in the short game early to help relive some of the pressure put on by this Eagles defensive line.
Bonus Sprinkle: T. Conklin Anytime Touchdown (+500)

D. Swift o65.5 Rushing Yards (-114) via Bovada
The Jets are surrendering 106 rushing yards/game to RBs, 8th most in the NFL through 5 weeks. They’re also giving up the 4th most rushing attempts to RBs this season, and a 4.5 YPC average.
Swift, outside of Week 1, has seen 75 carries for 431 yards, averaging 5.7 YPC. He’s also hauled in 14 receptions for 75 yards, and scored 2 TDs through 5 weeks.
Nick Sirianni has put an emphasis on getting Swift the ball, whether it’s on the ground or through the air. Swift is averaging just over 22 touches/game, with an average of 18.9 carries/game in his L4 games.
Philly loves to run the ball, and with Gainwell getting less touches out of the backfield, Swift should be primed for a big game on the ground.
Sprinkle the ladder with me.
D. Swift 100+ Rushing Yards (+425) // D. Swift 125+ Rushing Yards (+1225)
