The Philadelphia Eagles are undefeated after winning five straight games and they'll look to add to their win streak when they take on the New York Jets in Week 6.
The Birds enter the road match as 6.5-point favorites and a 42.5 over/under, according to DraftKings.
However, those numbers look a little low for an Eagles team that's won three of their games by two or more touchdowns and is 12-0 all-time against the Jets.
As for the Jets, they've compiled two wins, with their most recent coming against the 1-4 Denver Broncos (does that even count). They were also able to pull off an overtime win in Week 1 versus the Buffalo Bills.
Prior to Week 5's victory, the Jets had not been able to put up over 22 points on the board. They did almost beat the Kansas Chiefs at home in Week 4, but that was thanks to KC's big mistakes and they ultimately let New York beat themselves.
Jets' Zach Wilson has played decent at quarterback, but he has thrown over 200 yards just once this season. Jets' defense has also been flaky and has allowed 30 points in two of their contests.
Things look a bit different for the Eagles and Jalen Hurts, who has now eclipsed 300 passing yards in back-to-back outings. The Eagles also have a dangerous rushing attack that's been hard to stop and a young defense that's been able to overcome various injuries.
The Eagles are the obviously stronger team here and a 6.5-point spread is a slap in the face, however, it's easy money for bettors.
