1. The Philadelphia Eagles defense will force two turnovers.

Stop laughing. This is a serious analysis following some careful study. If any team knows what the Birds are going through as far as injuries it’s the Hawks, especially along their offensive line.

Brandon Shell is out. Jordan Simmons and Kyle Fuller are both questionable. Duane Brown, Mike Iupati, Damien Lewis, Ethan Pocic, and Jamarco Jones all appeared on Seattle’s final injury report ahead of Wek 12’s game.

If Philly can make Russell Wilson uncomfortable, seemingly an easier task with so many offensive line issues for Seattle, ‘DangerRuss’ will throw picks as evidenced by the seven interceptions he threw between Week 7 and Week 10.

2. Darius Slay gets his first pick as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.

As good as he is, Darius Slay has yet to register his first interception as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles. Tonight’s the night. Russell Wilson will throw a pick in this one. Philly’s defense will score another turnover by causing and jumping on a fumble.
