The Seahawks are desperate for a win and on Monday night host the Eagles, who have been grounded losing two in a row.
The Eagles are a 3-point road favorite in this NFC clash with a total of 47.5. The public has been backing the Seahawks, as they opened as a 3.5-pount underdog and as of Friday are a 3-point dog.
The Eagles fell to 10-3 and out of first place in the NFC East with their second loss in a row in their last game in a bad 33-13 road loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Philly failed to cover as a 3.5-point underdog and they have not covered the spread in their last two games.
The reeling Seahawks fell below .500 (6-7) in their last game losing their fourth in a row in a 28-16 road loss to the San Francisco 49ers. They did cover the spread as a big 16.5-point underdog and while dropping four straight they have covered in three of those games including the last two.
On the season the Eagles are 6-4-3 ATS with an O/U record of 7-6 and the Seahawks are 6-6-1 ATS with an O/U record of 6-7.
These teams have not met since the 2020 season.
Have to Get Back on Track
Ok, so the Eagles have played two tough teams in the last two weeks in the 49ers and Cowboys, but they were outscored 75-32.
In the loss to the Cowboys the Eagles fell behind 24-6 at the half, were outgained 394 yards to 324 yards, and committed three turnovers while only forcing one.
In the bad Dallas loss Jalen Hurts passed for 197 yards with no TD and no INT before leaving the game when it was a blowout. D’Andre Swift led the team with 39 yards only averaging 3.5 yards per carry and A.J. Brown had 94 receiving yards.
Hurts (3,192 yards 19 TD 10 INT) ranks eighth in the league in QBR and while he has not been picked off in the last two games, he only has one TD. Swift (822 yards 4 TD) has only totaled 52 yards in the last two games and Brown has 17 catches in the last two games for 208 receiving yards but not TD.
There is a chance the Eagles’ offense will get back on track facing a Seattle defense that only ranks 26th in the league in points against (24.5 ppg), 25th against the pass, and 23rdagainst the run.
Desperation Time
A few weeks back it looked as if the Seahawks would be playoff bound for the season straight season. However, with their four-game skid they are on the outside looking in and need a strong finish in their last four games to make the post-season.

Geno Smith (2,918 yards 15 TD 9 INT) missed the last game with a groin injury and if he cannot go Lock (335 yards 2 TD 3 INT) will make his second start of the season.
