Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on the Seattle Seahawks?
There is no doubt that the Seattle Seahawks have been a disappointment so far this season, as they are third with a negative record in the Western Division of the National Conference.
Seattle is coming off a 28-16 loss to the top-seeded San Francisco 49ers. It was not a standout performance for quarterback Drew Lock, who suffered two interceptions. When Geno Smith is not available, Lock takes the reins, but his work has not been good at all. In three games, he has only advanced 335 yards, with two touchdown passes, but with three interceptions.
The good news for the Seahawks is that the recovery times put Geno Smith ready to return in this matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, which could well mean a way to try to salvage the season down the stretch.
Seattle has a 6-7 record and four games left to look for heroics to qualify for the postseason. It’s complex but not impossible.
In addition to Geno Smith, Frank Clark, Dee Eskridge, and Tre Brown are currently injured. Devon Witherspoon is questionable.
Why Bet on the Philadelphia Eagles?
The Philadelphia Eagles were the best team in the NFL two weeks ago, one that was unchallenged by any team in the league. Now, they are not even the leaders of their division.
They lost the honor of leading the National League East with the setback suffered in the visit to the Dallas Cowboys, who won the duel by 33-13. In this way, they evened the records at 10-3. Jalen Hurts was far from his best night, as he completed 18 of 27 passes with 197 yards, but did not assist for a touchdown, and did not have an interception. He did manage five carries, but this did not end in the touchdown zone either.
When Hurts does not play well, it shows, and it has been two nights where his game has not been convincing enough to lead his team to victory. The quarterback is one of the best in the league, as confirmed by his 3,192 yards and 19 touchdown passes.
The Eagles will be in the postseason, but this bump in the road may create insecurities that did not exist before.
For now, the Philadelphia franchise has only one player who appears to be questionable, and that’s Reed Blankenship.
Final Betting Analysis: Seahawks vs. Eagles
At home, the Seahawks have a positive record of four wins and two losses. We’re not thinking their streak of four consecutive losses is going to stop anytime soon. This win will go to the Eagles, who are hungryto regain the top spot in their division.
Top bookies have the Eagles as the favorites on the Moneyline at 1.64, while the Broncos have 2.27.
The last game between these two franchises was on November 30, 2020, and Seattle took that one, just shy of a touchdown 23-17.
Go for a win in the Eagles’ Moneyline. If you bet $100 at 1.64, and you’ll pocket $64 for a total payout of $164.
