Seattle Seahawks vs Philadelphia Eagles 11/30/2020 NFL Odds and Prediction

The Seattle Seahawks travel to the Lincoln Financial Field on Monday night to take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Seahawks have won just twice in their last five games but they still have a share of the lead in the NFC West division. Meanwhile, the Eagles are coming off a loss to the Cleveland Browns who at 3-6-1 on the year, are on top of the woeful NFC East division. The Seahawks have won the last six head-to-head meetings between these two teams and the last time they played was in the playoffs last January which Seattle won 17-9. The Seahawks lead their all-time series against the Eagles 10-7.

Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks kept a share of the lead in the NFC West after winning over the Arizona Cardinals last week. The 7-3 Seahawks won their first five games of the season before taking a bye week. Upon returning they lost three of their next four games before returning to the winning column against Arizona.

Seattle’s defense played a key role in the win over the Cardinals. The Seahawks limited Arizona to only 314 yards of total offense and got a late safety to secure the victory. That defense has allowed 28.7 points per game but they held down the Cardinals to just 21 points, a season-best for the Seahawks’ defense.

There have been no issues with their offense as Russell Wilson has completed 70.7% of his passes for 2,986 passing yards with 30 touchdowns against only 10 interceptions. Wilson also leads the team with 367 rushing yards as the team has been saddled with injuries to their running backs. Chris Carson has rushed for 323 yards but has missed the last four games due to injury. He is listed as probable for this game.

Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles came up short in Cleveland the last time out. The Eagles came to within five points with 30 seconds left in the game but ran out of time. Carson Wentz completed 21 of 35 passes for 235 yards with two touchdowns. However, he was intercepted twice and got sacked five times.

Wentz has been able to stay healthy this season and he has played all 10 games. He has thrown for 2,326 yards but has 14 interceptions and only 14 touchdowns. He has been sacked 40 times this season and the Eagles have fumbled the ball 10 times this season and have turned the ball over 23 times which isn’t a good sign.

Philadelphia’s defense has looked good this season. The Eagles are giving up only 25.4 points per game this season,16th in the league. Defensively, they have conceded 30 or more points only twice this season. Their offense has been an issue though as the Eagles are scoring just 22 points per game. Philadelphia has yet to score at least 30 points in a game this season.

Who Wins?

Seattle is 7-3 SU in their last 10 games played. The Seahawks are 2-3 SU in their last five games played on the road, 5-2 in their last seven games against the NFC, and 7-2 SU in their last nine November games. Philadelphia is 2-4 SU in their last six games played. The Eagles are 2-2-1 SU in their five games played at home, 1-4 SU in their last five November games, and 7-13 SU in their last 20 games played against the NFC West division. Head to head, the Seahawks have won their last six meetings against the Eagles.

The Seahawks ended a two-game losing skid against the Cardinals and won by seven points as three-point betting favorites. Russell Wilson is coming off a strong game with 197 passing yards and two passing scores while also adding 42 rushing yards.

Sunday’s loss to the Cleveland Browns was Philly’s first since 1944. People around the team called for Carson Wentz’s benching after the loss. Wentz threw two interceptions including a pick-six against the Browns. Overall, he’s thrown 14 touchdowns with 14 interceptions. Despite Wentz’s struggles, the Eagles are still one-half game up in the dismal NFC East. A loss here could prove to be costly.

The Seahawks had a long week to prepare for a team as bad as Philadelphia. Protecting Wentz has become more difficult with the loss of Johnson. On defense, they have struggled against the run, which should be to the advantage of Seattle which will have Carson back. With Carson and Hyde both healthy, the Seahawks’ offense will be much better. I’ll eat the chalk here and go with Russell Wilson and his crew.

What are the Spread Odds?

Seahawks

-6 (-118)

Eagles

+6 (-102)

Odds from BetOnline as of 11/30/2020

Seattle’s recent road woes are concerning but this isn’t really a very good Eagles team that has struggled to cover the spread this season. The Eagles are 2-9 ATS in their last week 12 games, 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games played at home, and as we mentioned earlier, 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall. I don’t see the Eagles slowing down Wilson and the Seahawks’ offense. Give me the road team to cover the spread here.

Prediction: Seahawks -6

The total has gone over in six out of the last 10 games played by the Seahawks. Seattle has seen the total hit over in four out of their last six games played on the road. The total has gone under in four out of the last five games played by the Eagles. The under is 10-2 in Philadelphia’s last 12 games played at home. Head to head, the total has gone under in each of the last five games played between these two teams.

The Seahawks have piled up the points this season and they are second in the league in scoring. Seattle’s defensive woes are not a secret and they are near the bottom of the pile when it comes to scoring defense. But the Eagles’ offense has struggled to put together a cohesive offense this season and they have hit the over just four times this year. They have been held to 17 points in their last two games and while I think the Seahawks will get their points, the Eagles won’t help them beat the total.

Prediction: Under 49
