NFL fans in London, England will get their last chance to take in game action this season when the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday as 3-point favourites on the NFL Week 8 odds at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
The defending Super Bowl champions have struggled to regain their championship form during the first half of the season. Philadelphia has failed to record wins in consecutive games while compiling the 3-4 straight-up record it takes into Sunday morning’s matchup at Wembley Stadium.
The Eagles blew a 17-point fourth-quarter lead in last weekend’s 21-17 loss to Carolina as 5-point home chalk, dropping them to 2-4 SU in their past six while favoured, and are winless against the spread in eight straight while pegged as favourites by three or more points, according to the OddsShark NFL Database.
The Jaguars have also endured struggles during the first half of the campaign, losing outright in three of four to fall out of top spot in the AFC South. Winners of 10 games last season while averaging over 26 points per game, the Jaguars offence has failed to produce during their current slide, averaging just 13 points per game over their past five outings while scoring seven or fewer points on three occasions.
Jacksonville has plummeted to a +4000 bet on the Super Bowl 53 odds, well back of the +1200 odds they sported on opening day. However, the Jaguars have averaged over 35 points per game in three straight wins in London.

Elsewhere on the NFL Week 8 odds, the Pittsburgh Steelers hope to atone for their shaky Week 1 performance in Cleveland as they host the Browns as 8-point chalk.
The Steelers let a 14-point lead slip away on their way to a frustrating 21-21 draw with the Browns as 3.5-point road chalk in their season opener. However, Pittsburgh has steadily regained its form during a 3-1 SU run, and is unbeaten SU in 24 home dates since 2004 against Cleveland, which has lost 24 straight on the road since October 2015.
As well, division leaders clash as the Minnesota Vikings host the New Orleans Saints as 1-point favourites on Sunday night, while the New England Patriots vie for a fifth straight win as they visit the sinking Buffalo Bills as 14-point betting favorites on Monday Night Football.
The Los Angeles Rams aim to improve their perfect SU record to 8-0 as they play host to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers as 9-point favourites, while the Kansas City Chiefs look to build on their most lopsided win in five years as they host the Denver Broncos as 10-point chalk.
