Why the Eagles can cover the spread

Even though Philadelphia has been stronger at home this year, the team has not lost a road game by more than seven points, either. Three of the four road losses for the Eagles have come against divisional opponents, while the other loss was versus an NFC North foe.

This will definitely be a tough game at Seattle for rookie quarterback Carson Wentz and first-year head coach Doug Pederson, but both of them have shown a lot of poise this season and should not be rattled by the raucous crowd.

Why the Seahawks can cover the spread

The Seahawks have won four of the past five meetings with Philly straight up and against the spread, and they flexed their muscles in a 31-24 win over the New England Patriots as 7.5-point road underdogs in Week 10.

Seattle has seemed to play to the level of its opponents this season, with seven of nine games decided by seven points or fewer. But the Seahawks certainly have the potential to win by double digits like they did in two of their first three wins this year.

Smart pick

This is an intriguing matchup because nobody knows what to expect from the Eagles here. They surprised doubters last week in a 24-15 win over the Atlanta Falcons as one-point home favorites and back in Week 7 when they knocked off the Minnesota Vikings 21-10 as three-point home underdogs on the NFL lines. But they have also disappointed as road chalk in losses to the Detroit Lions and Washington Redskins.

Philadelphia obviously is not the favorite here and will struggle to score against a highly motivated Seattle defense that has a ton of confidence right now after upsetting New England. Look for the Seahawks to win this one by double digits again.

Betting trends

The Eagles are 1-4 SU and ATS in their last five games against the Seahawks.

The visiting team is 7-1 SU and ATS in its last eight games in this matchup.

The total has gone over in five of the Seahawks' last seven games.
