Head-to-Head: Philadelphia Eagles vs Seattle Seahawks
Neither team in this matchup enters the weekend with positive momentum. The Eagles are coming off a pair of losses – a 13-33 loss on the road against the Dallas Cowboys last week and a 19-42 loss to the San Francisco 49ers the week prior – that dropped them out of the lead in the NFC playoff race and on the wrong side of the tiebreaker against both of their main competitors. The Seahawks have lost five of their last six and are coming off three straight losses at home against the 49ers, traveling to play the Cowboys, and traveling to play the 49ers again.
Disclaimer
Granted, it’s entirely possible that this recent history says more about the Cowboys and 49ers than it does about either team in this matchup. The Eagles’ offense ranks eighth in yards per game (358.8) and sixth in points per game (26.3), and the team has won five of seven road games thus far this season. The Seahawks don’t measure out nearly as well metrically on either side of the ball, but they’re 4-2 at home this season and have beaten all three of the out-of-division opponents they’ve hosted.
The series between these teams has gone heavily in the Seahawks’ favor over recent years, with them winning each of their last 7 meetings with the Eagles. The Eagles’ last win against the Seahawks happened in Seattle on November 2, 2008. The Seahawks have covered in all but one of those last seven wins, and the teams have stayed under the point total in each of their last six meetings.

Philadelphia Eagles vs Seattle Seahawks Predictions
Projecting a team to win this game is difficult. It’s not either team’s fault that they’ve played the Cowboys and 49ers for the last couple weeks, but the fact remains that we haven’t seen the best version of either of these teams emerge from a game victorious in a while. Both of these teams enjoyed multiple-score victories on October 22, in Week 7 of this season. Entering Week 14, neither have had one since.
If there’s one thing to take, it’s the points. Both teams have been eviscerated on defense over the past few games, but their seasonal averages in yards and points allowed are still glaringly bad. The Eagles rank better in yards allowed per game at 22nd (353.9), while the Seahawks rank better in points allowed per game at 27th (24.5). It’s not a matchup that bodes well for the Under’s streak of six games in meetings between these teams.
