Philadelphia Eagles at Seattle Seahawks NFL Betting Odds

The 12th man is not what it used to be in Seattle, but the Seahawks will need their crowd to be rabid to upset the Eagles in the Philadelphia Eagles vs Seattle Seahawks match-up. Seattle will be challenged by a well-rounded Philadelphia team that is in the thick of an NFC East divisional battle. Seattle is beat up on defense and are expecting to get a heavy dose matrix-like Eagles RB\WR Brian Westbrook. This will be a game of gifted minds too, with Eagles head coach Andy Reid facing his mentor Mike Holmgren. The NFL betting odds for the Philadelphia Eagles vs Seattle Seahawks game is at 6.5 to 7.0 points.

The Seattle offense is not nearly dynamic with leader Matt Hasselbeck on the sideline but backup QB Seneca Wallace played well in last week’s 34-13 win over San Fran as +5 dogs. Seneca is strong-armed athletic and throws fairly accurate. “I told Seneca, I told our receivers … ‘Hey, look it, instead of being so careful about everything and almost calling the game defensively, we are going to kind of let it go a little bit. Everyone’s getting paid in the room. So you have a responsibility, too. And let’s play,’” said coach Mike Holmgren, who is in his 10th and final season leading the Seahawks. “And they responded to that. Wallace will need to use his football brain more than his athleticism when he faces Philly’s blood hound blitzes. Wallace knows how to scramble, but the Eagles send blitzers from all directions. Seattle’s playmakers RB Julius Jones (4.45 40-speed) and TE John Carlson (6′6″ 255) will be key factors to getting steady play from what has been an erratic offense. The Eagles have shown a vulnerability in their pass-coverage against tight ends. Holmgren will need to keep the offense opened up and let the playmakers earn their paychecks. The NFL betting odds for the Philadelphia Eagles vs Seattle Seahawks game is at 42.5 to 43.5 points.

The Philadelphia Eagles top-10 offense is a little misleading when you consider their inability to sustain drives. The Seahawks 22nd ranked run defense could give up a bundle of yards to All-Pro Philly RB Brian Westbrook (4.35 40-speed) but they may keep the Eagles from converting some TD’s in the red-zone. The blocking up front has been spotty and the Eagles will need their top red-zone threat WR Reggie Brown to step up. Despite their offensive inconsistency’s, Philadelphia has thrived under the excellent play from McNabb and Westbrook. “It makes all the difference when you have a guy back there with the arm that Donovan has, but also has the ability to scramble and to make plays when there’s no receivers open,” Westbrook said.”We need to get on the run right now,” said Westbrook, who rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles’ 28-24 loss to the Seahawks last Dec. 2. “We need to have the opportunity, we have the opportunity to go up to Seattle and play a pretty good team and have to go out there and try to handle our business.” Westbrook (4.8 YPC 500 ttl. yds. 6 TD’s) is playing at MVP level and the Seahawks will have to focus their defensive efforts on him. The Eagles offense is averaging 27.7 points on offense against 26.3 points allowed per game by Seattle’s offense. The NFL betting odds MONEYLINE for the Philadelphia Eagles vs Seattle Seahawks game is Philadelphia -300.
