Seahawks VS. Eagles Predictions
From the time the lines were first released, Philadelphia has gone from being -4.5 point favorites to their current line of -3 (-118). Conversely, Seattle is currently +3 (-103) point underdogs at home.
I’m going with Seattle on the spread, with the line sitting at +3. I anticipate the Seattle rushing offense capitalizing on the vulnerabilities of Philadelphia’s defense, as they struggled against Dallas. Lock in Seattle at +3.
