Philadelphia Eagles: Predicting wins-losses after bye week
Week 13 – at Seattle Seahawks
The Eagles have been in some close matchups this season that came all the way down to the wire. This will be the case in Week 13 when the Eagles play the Seattle Seahawks on the road. Perhaps one of the toughest environments to play in, the Eagles tend to struggle at Century Link Field. Since 2011, the Eagles have played the Seahawks twice on the road. Both games ended in a dominant win by Seattle.
Here is a crazy stat. The Eagles have been 1-6 against the Seahawks since 2005. The last time the Eagles defeated them was on the road in 2008. Obviously, these two teams are different this season, but history tends to repeat itself often. With a struggling Seattle team fighting for at least a wild-card spot, the Eagles will be walking into a very tough matchup.
It is tough to imagine an NFL postseason without Seattle playing. Clearly, this team has regressed since their last Super Bowl appearance in 2015. With key injuries to their defense and a weak offensive line, they will definitely see some struggles against the Eagles. The biggest factor that will play into this game will be the home field advantage and the scrambling abilities of Russell Wilson. He may see a lot of pressure from the Eagles defensive front, but he will most likely pick up a ton of rushing yards that put them in solid field position. The Seahawks may give the Eagles their second loss of the season in a heartbreaker.
