Preview:
The events that led to this game have been nothing short of entertaining.
Philly find themselves in the playoffs for the third straight year after reclaiming the NFC East last week against the Giants, while Seattle, on the other hand, had a chance to skip the Wild Card round entirely if only they’d beaten the Niners (and the refs) at home.
Looking ahead, this has the makings to be the most entertaining game of the weekend, if not the entire playoffs.
Made up of second stringers and Carson Wentz, the Eagles are a bag of bones right now that nobody – not even the bookies – are giving a chance. And as for the Seahawks, well… what can you say about a team that has now lost two straight games?
Philadelphia has opened as +2 underdogs with home-field advantage, but you might want to go all-in on the Eagles to win this game outright for one simple reason: their tight end game.
Seattle’s defence was shredded last week by the Niners, and we should see the same happen again this week if Wentz can hook up with Zach Ertz or his replacement Dallas Goedert.
The Seahawks have allowed the second-most yards to opposing tight ends this year, while Seattle’s run defence will also have its hands full with emerging stars Boston Scott and Miles Sanders.
Say what you will about the Eagles and their injuries, but like 2017, this team has a distinct underdog feel to it. With four wins from their last five, it’s worth backing Philly to keep the momentum rolling.
Odds:
Tip: Seattle Seahawks at $1.94
