Thursday night Football comes to the Pacific Northwest this week as the reeling Philadelphia Eagles, losers of three of their last four games, take on the improving Seattle Seahawks who have won two of three. <\/p>\n
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (4-7) vs. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (4-7)<\/strong> Both teams are essentially out of the NFC playoff race but each have things to prove as the season winds down.<\/p>\n The most disappointing team of the season pays a visit to Seattle on Thursday night. The Philadelphia Eagles are inexplicably 4-7 and are the picture of dysfunction. They are banged up, they are playing poorly and the coaches can\u2019t seem to get along. Ahhhh \u2013 the City of Brotherly Love isn\u2019t looking so Brotherly at the moment.<\/p>\n The Eagles bring their 10th ranked passing game to town on Thursday (260.73 yards per game) on the heels of a 400 yard effort from Vince Young on Sunday. Vince Young will get the start again this week as Michael Vick continues to recover from broken ribs. Jeremy Maclin is also in danger of missing Thursday as well \u2013 thank goodness for Jason Avant and Riley Cooper. DeSean Jackson will play despite being benched on Sunday on an Eagles team that looks like they\u2019ve checked out on this season.<\/p>\n Philadelphia has the leading rusher in the NFL although last Sunday\u2019s game was no indication of what this guy can do. He has rushed for 1050 yards this season and has 13 total touchdowns (11 rushing). The Hawks\u2019 good run defense will be in for a tough test against an Eagles rushing attack that the coaches have vowed will be more involved this week. <\/p>\n Phili\u2019s defense is surprisingly a middle of the pack unit \u2013 16th against the pass and 15th against the run. The may be without Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie this week \u2013 he is nursing his own injury and is highly questionable to play.<\/p>\n The Seattle Seahawks let another one slip away in Week 12 \u2013 16 unanswered points with 12 minutes left in the game sunk them to 2-3 SU at home on the season. Despite the loss, Seattle has proven competitive to say the least in the last six weeks with wins over the Giants, the Ravens and the Rams. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n Seattle\u2019s offense has been the Marshawn Lynch show. Lynch was money again on Sunday at home against the Redskins – 111 yards on the ground and he added a 20-yard touchdown reception. Lynch now has three 100+ yard games in his last four games and he has scored a touchdown in seven straight. He and the Hawks 27th ranked rush offense figure to be a huge part of the game plan against Philadelphia on Thursday.<\/p>\n Lynch\u2019s role becomes even bigger with Seattle\u2019s 25th ranked passing game likely having to operate without Sidney Rice who sustained a concussion against Washington. Mike Williams, Doug Baldwin and Ben Obomanu on paper are a mismatch for the Eagles secondary. But as we\u2019ve seen this season, they are an adequate receiving corp. Tarvaris Jackson hasn\u2019t been great this season but he hasn\u2019t been horrendous either.<\/p>\n Seattle\u2019s defense suffered a major letdown last week in the fourth quarter but they are decent for the most part. The Hawks rank 21st versus the pass and 11th against the run. They may be forced to play without arguably their best linebacker this week \u2013 David Hawthorne suffered a knee injury in Week 12.<\/p>\n Betting Prediction:<\/strong> The Philadelphia Eagles are 4-10 SU and ATS in their last 14 games but they are 5-2 SU in their last seven on the road. The Eagles are 4-1 SU in their last five trips to Seattle. The Seattle Seahawks are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games but are just 2-4 SU in their last six. The Hawks are 5-1 ATS in their last six games versus NFC teams, are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games at home but are just 2-4 ATS in their last six home games versus Philadelphia.<\/p>\n The Philadelphia Eagles certainly are not who we thought they were. They are talented but dysfunctional while the Hawks are less talented but play with heart and passion. In one of the toughest buildings in the NFL to play in, expect the dysfunction to continue and the heart to win out over talent. It\u2019s gonna be loud in Seattle \u2013 I hope the Eagles are prepared!<\/p>\n Pick:<\/strong> Seattle Seahawks +2 \u00bd<\/p>\n What are you waiting for?
