Seahawks vs. Eagles Week 15 Preview
The Eagles have one of the most manageable remaining schedules, and they can clinch a playoff spot in their visit to the Seahawks. Their wings have been clipped in the past two weeks, and there are now shouts of "fraud" directed at last year's Super Bowl finalists.
They will arrive in Seattle to battle a team that is on their fourth straight defeat, including one at home against the San Francisco 49ers.
Seahawks losing a fifth straight game is probably improbable, but if one will base their game prediction on consistency, the Eagles dropping a third straight is more impossible to imagine.
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni remains confident with his team despite the recent setbacks.
"We're not hitting a panic button as far as, 'we've got to do everything.' We didn't play well and we didn't coach good the last two weeks," Sirianni said after last week's stumble against the Dallas Cowboys.
"We didn't play good enough and we didn't coach good enough the last two weeks to win the games. It wasn't up to our standard, so we're pissed and we're looking for ways to fix that."
Over at the Seahawks, a discord is brewing between coach Pete Carroll and his players. He particularly called out his players for not executing well enough.
"We didn't execute well enough to stop those opportunities," he said.
"That's the stuff we practiced, and we needed to come through and make those plays. We didn't do it."
There are also rumors that players are tired of Carroll's old-school approach to the game.
They are only 17th in points and 20th in yards despite having a big-time offensive cast of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Geno Smith, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Kenneth Walker, and Zach Charbonnet.
Both teams might be struggling, but the Eagles deserve the benefit of the doubt as they faced strong teams in those two losses, while the Seahawks' performance dipped after a 6-3 start.
Carroll's boys will have their hands full when they host the Eagles, who are 8th in the league in terms of offense yards average and rushing yards.
Seahawks vs. Eagles Week 15 Pick
The Eagles are due for redemption, which will come at the expense of the Seahawks. Bettors should watch over the spread, though, as the Eagles don't cover it well.
Final score: Seahawks 13-36 Eagles
