Seahawks +whatever Thursday night

[No coincidences]

phily is gonna make a run for the playoffs. when they lose tonight next week they will make another run for the playoffs. when the season ends they continue to make a run.

And by "run" you mean the piss streaming down their leg....

[dontazeme1]

Pound the living dogshit out of the eagles

[t-wizzle]

Seahawks TT is 20.5 at Pinnacle. I think if the books didn't like them, they'd be 20 or even 19.5

[firehoyt]

Teased Seattle +10 and under 50.

That too.

I'm not sure if Seattle is a strong play here by any means or even a play at all, but you're bat-shit crazy if you lay points on this Eagles' squad right now on the road vs. anyone -- I know that much.

[thebestthereis]

i actually like the over here, i see special teams and defensive impact on points. the eagles will score. weather a non factor.

Agreed. I don't know if it's the smartest thing I ever did but I took SEA straight up. Reasons against PHI are numerous and I do think at least SEA is playing as a team, with some heart. Cheers

Agree. Seems too easy to take the under.

[k13]

Riley Cooper o/u 3 Receptions

Worth looking at.

[paco]

Are they gonna give up more 50 yard td bombs on 3rd and 19 again?

Punt fest tonight in my opinion. These teams are not deep threats by any means ( maybe if SEA had Rice and PHI's young could reach Jackson on the long bomb. So the ground game is what both teams hope to get going early. I see Lynch putting on a performance tonight carrying the load with at least 25 carries. McCoy will get his fair share as well which will prove to chew up the clock every drive unlike an aerial attack type offense( NO, PATS examples)
Dropped passes i can also imagine being an issue tonight for both teams, which will halt drives for both teams. I like Seattle in this spot as well, BUT they do also get penalized a bunch which will also set up poor field position. Qwest Field is a thunderous crowd for games like this and will make it hard for Young and company to hear play calling/ audibles making penalties and mis-communications with drives going 3 and out. Just some opinions..

SEA +3 or no play
Under 44 or no play for me

BOL to ALL tonight!!

seattle isn't exactly a monster team at home

[GenosPicks]

Seattle is a no-brainer Thursday night. A reeling Eagles team comes into one of the toughest places to play on a short week and they will somehow still be a small fave.

Disagreed with you buddy in my picks tonight so that goives YOU a 62% chance of being RIGHT!! I am sooo lousy thus far...

But my thoughts were Seattle GM John Schneider, especially selected Tavaris Jackson as his starter and, when you consider your backup is Charlie Whitehurst-- i'm not saying those two guys are terrible but I’ve overheard better choices at a women’s shelter.

PHI -3

Hey Geno's picks John Skeleton already led a team pass the Eagles in the Cardinals. So if you think Tavaris Jackson and Charlie Whitehurst can't you are a buckin fool

[t-wizzle]

Isn't Seattle's rush defense pretty stout?

[suicidekings]

Isn't Seattle's rush defense pretty stout?

In general, yes. The Seahawks are #8 against the run, but the Eagles are the #2 rushing team, offensively.

Demarco Murray ran for 139, Mendenhall/Redman put up 125. Young will be passing enough that they can't load the box against Philly, so McCoy is still a concern.

[mh217]

I think.the play here is 7 point teaser seahawks +10/under51

its so funny you say this because i despise teasers overall but last night i played that exact teaser.. i had it at sea +10, and under 50...layed $1200 to win $1000..but this morning i had a bad feeling about the under, so i called up heritage and they were nice enough to cancel it for me..

[mighty maron]

I wonder how much from the tank this Phila team is willing to give. I would take Seattle or no play..

[Carseller4]

HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE

Everyone knows that Seattle is the hardest place to play in. Loud with the 12th man... i know what you are thinking... "no there are other places to play that are much more difficult".... and yeah i bet there may be in your eyes but they constantly draw the most false start penalties in all the stadiums in the NFL. And having a stadium that loud and having the fans on your back knowing that there team has a chance to win this game i can't see Seattle having any problem with moving the ball.

IMO

I guess that is why Seattle is 2-3 at home this year.

Eagles win.

[t-wizzle]

Eagles TT Under juiced, Seahawks TT Over 20.5 juiced at pinnacle.

[Goat Milk]

good luck wizzle. give me a second half bet. i will check in @ half to see what to take

[bigsmitty]

Wow, can't ask for better if you're on SEA. Decent game to see. Cheers

[krk1030]

Hopefully the defense can hold and we go to the half with the lead.

[zsr]

No surprise so far. Philly backers probably shocked but the power rankings!

[lakerboy]

I guess that is why Seattle is 2-3 at home this year.

Eagles win.

[Dougie_Fre$h]

Does anyone still seriously bet on the Eagles. I'll cash my 250 ML Hawks!

[bigsmitty]

Lynch's TD run has to be one of my fave ten moments of this year. Whatever your bet or team you have to respect that desire.

Compare Lynch with PHI's Jackson. Guy should be horsewhipped, ankles broken and promoted to manager at your local burger joint. Bitter post but I had to say it...Cheers

[TR88]

eagles still win

[spurginobili]

Teased Seattle and the under

Need some stops

[zsr]

The funny thing is, these eagles backers will be right back on them next week because they think there better then there record says

[Westcoast0]

You may be right... but I do not let that affect my wallet. If I think I have an edge with them, I bet them... just as I would any other team. Only spot it affects me is when I like the opposite, like this past week, where I chose not to bet the Pats though I loved them -3. I rarely will bet against them, esp when I am going to the game... but definitely do not bet on them every week, just as I dont bet on any team every week. I cap the games and pick my spots... 3-2 on their games so far this year, and am looking to make it 4-2... Suicidekings explains my reasoning perfect:

I'm confused by the Seahawk support... I really like the Eagles to take this game and like the current PHI -3 (+110) available.

Looking at the Seahawks, they really don't have much available on the ground. Lynch gets the majority of the carries, but he's more of a power back than a speed/agility guy that's more suited to be a #2 RB. In the air, Tavaris Jackson is one of the worst starting QBs in the NFL. Additionally, Sidney Rice will almost definitely not play this week as he just suffered another concussion on Sunday. The short week will keep him out of the lineup, IMO. Their defense looks good on paper, but when you consider who they've faced, their "solid D" makes more sense. They really only have one win against a quality team this season and that was against a Baltimore team who were themselves coming off the most important game of their season (which virtually guaranteed them the AFC North division win).

People make WAY too much of the loss to the Patriots. New England has hit their stride and are a much superior team to the current Philly team. A lot of much better teams that the Eagles have been picked apart by Tom Brady. It shouldn't be viewed as an unexpected loss, and shouldn't detract from the matchup issues for this game. Philadelphia is a much better team than the Seahawks and presents matchup issues that will make this a tough game for Seattle to be competitive.

Specifically, Tavaris Jackson will get sacked no less than 4 times in this game. Short on receiving options and range while facing a depleted (but still quality) PHI secondary is going to expand the time he'll need to work, while being harried by an aggressive Eagles pass rush. Philadelphia is one of the best teams at bringing pressure and I really don't consider Lynch to be sufficiently dangerous that he'll be able to take advantage of the spacing of the wide 9 in the interior. Philadelphia will prioritize applying pressure to Jackson to help out their depleted secondary, and Seattle is vulnerable to sacks (particularly from pressure coming off the ends and corner blitzes)

On the other end, Vince Young has another game under his belt and looked pretty good early on against the Patriots. His completion rate is low for that game because the Eagles had to pass a lot when trailing in the game. He was only sacked twice, but pressured a lot in that game and still managed 400 yards. Seattle is very weak in their pass rush and VY is going to have the time to work. The one element that Seattle is very good at is run defense, but McCoy is extremely versatile and should challenge the Seattle defensive line enough that he will still probably get 70 rushing yards. I would expect him to get a few productive touches receiving out of the backfield as well.

Finally, in the second half of the last game, Andy Reid was taking a lot of abuse from the Philadelphia "faithful" and the one element about this team that often goes unmentioned during all the dream team talk, is that Andy Reid is very well respected by his players. This trash talking of Reid is a powerful motivator to this group to perform and given the matchup issues mentioned above, I expect Philly to win this game soundly. Something in the 24-10 range.



--- what suicidekings said sums it up pretty well... seattle is beat up, and without their top wr, and tavaris is beat up...

The key is the portion that I bolded..
