Philadelphia Eagles vs. Seattle Seahawks Prediction
Let’s start with the Eagles, who desperately need a road win tonight after losing two consecutive games to the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys.
Despite the losses, the Eagles can win the NFC East and the NFC.
The path to the NFC East is more straightforward, as the Eagles will have to win their remaining four games.
If Dallas loses a game or two, there is some margin for error, but the Eagles do not want to rely on Dallas' losses. They would much rather take care of business themselves.
Jalen Hurts leads the Philadelphia offense. The 25-year-old has thrown for 3,192 yards, 19 touchdowns, and ten interceptions. Additionally, Hurts has rushed for 460 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Philadelphia native D'Andre Swift leads the Eagles rushing attack. Swift has scampered for a team-best 822 yards and four touchdowns.
AJ Brown has enjoyed a breakout season. Brown has been the favorite target of Hurts, leading the team with 1,258 yards, which ranks third in the NFL.
The defense has been the biggest issue on this Eagles team.
Philadelphia ranked seventh in points allowed per game a season ago (19.8).
This season has been a completely different story, as they rank 28th in points allowed per game (24.7).
Seattle has been on a cold streak of their own.
The Seahawks have lost four consecutive games.
That is the longest losing streak in the Pete Carroll era.
One positive for Seahawks fans is that Seattle has had the Eagles' number.
The last time the Eagles beat the Seahawks on November 2, 2008. When Donavan McNabb threw for 349 yards as the Eagles won 26-7.
Seattle will need a win tonight to get back to the .500 mark and keep their playoff hopes alive.
The Seahawks will have to do it without their starting quarterback, Geno Smith.
The Smith injury will force backup Drew Lock into action. The former first-round pick has thrown for 335 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions.
Kenneth Walker III has been the top option in the rushing game, racking up 634 yards and six touchdowns.
DK Metcalf is on his way to another 1,000-yard season. The former Ole Miss Rebel has hauled in 51 passes worth 864 yards and seven touchdowns.
The Seattle defense has had struggles of their own, ranking 25th in points allowed per game (24.5).
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Seattle Seahawks Pick
The Eagles are in a great get-right spot tonight.
Hurts will play in this game despite dealing with illness all week.
The bottom line is Drew Lock will struggle to sustain drives.
Neither of these defenses has played well, but the X factor is the quarterback position, and this game will come down to who can make more plays.
The Eagles cover the spread in a high-scoring affair tonight.
