Context & form

• The Eagles (4–0) return home to host the Broncos (2–2), who are coming off a statement win on Monday Night Football. Philadelphia has been winning in multiple ways, though the offense has had stretches of inconsistency they’ll want to smooth out in Week 5.

Notable personnel updates

• Eagles: TE Dallas Goedert (knee) is expected to go; Jalen Carter (shoulder), Lane Johnson (shoulder), and Adoree’ Jackson (groin) practiced fully and are on track. LB Nakobe Dean (knee) is out.

Key tactical hotspots

1) Fast start & offensive rhythm for Philadelphia

Even at 4–0, the Eagles haven’t always sustained four quarters of clean offense. Expect early no-huddle looks and balanced distribution to A.J. Brown – DeVonta Smith – Dallas Goedert to control tempo against a Denver defense regaining confidence.

2) In the trenches: Lane Johnson vs Denver’s edge pressure

Lane Johnson anchoring the right side is crucial to giving Jalen Hurts time for intermediate and deep concepts. Denver under Sean Payton has tightened up structurally; keeping Hurts clean is the lever that opens those middle-of-field shots to Brown/Smith.

3) Ground game trade-offs: Saquon Barkley vs Dobbins/Harvey

A credible Barkley baseline invites play-action and RPOs for Hurts. On the other side, J.K. Dobbins and rookie RJ Harvey give Denver enough rushing juice to stay ahead of the sticks and keep Bo Nix out of obvious passing downs.

4) Squeezing Bo Nix

With Jalen Carter healthy to collapse the A-gaps, Philadelphia can force Nix to speed up and work the sidelines—where Adoree’ Jackson’s availability bolsters the Eagles’ answers versus quick perimeter throws.

Keys to victory

• Eagles: (i) Red-zone TD rate >55%; (ii) turnovers ≤1; (iii) 5+ targets for Goedert to stress two-high structures.

Line & prediction

• Current line: Eagles -4.5, total ~43.5 (subject to late movement).
