I have a good read on this team watching every game they play at least once and have predicted almost all their matches bar 1 or 2 so far. Eagles haven't been blownout, they have been in all their games and mainly lost due to turnovers, bad coaching plays or not enough production on the offence.
They will have continued pressure against Seattle's offensive line and Russell Wilson wont get much time at all in the pocket. Saying that he is obvious used to this and great at moving but that is not ideal to say the least.
Weakness is obviously the Eagles cornerbacks. Nolan Carroll is likely out but he is nothing special anyway. In a game like this Wilson just won't get the time to take advantage of them. They will have to settle for quick passes, screens, draw plays. They won't be able to run the ball with success. I doubt they will score more than 1 touchdown all game if that. It's going to be a bit of luck involved - They will blitz Wilson, he will attempt some deep balls to one on one receivers and if they are going to win they will have to make some of these huge plays or at least get pass interference calls.
Bad spot for Seattle going on the road and beating the Patriots, potential let down spot here.
Seattle is probably the hardest place to play for an offense especially a rookie quarterback due to the huge noise. The eagles haven't played well on the road this year compared to where they are undefeated at home. This isn't going to last forever and they are due for a road win. So how will they score on offense? Their offense will benefit after playing a bad defense in Atlanta last week which is obviously much worse than Seattle's. It will help them in the way that they will have more confidence and better relationships for Wentz to throw to, more rhythm. Ryan Matthews is healthy again and sproles has been a slimy little guy that defenders constantly miss. Seattle has given up an average of 29 points per game over the previous 3 games.
The main reason the eagles are going to be able to put up some points is because their defence is going to keep Seattle of the field.
I expect the eagles to put up around 21-28 points here however i think Seattle will only have a maximum of 16-21 points. Betting against the spread is for chumps just take the money line in all games, always shop around for the best price especially for dogs, money line where you will get considerably more value if you shop around, be sure to have at least 10 bookie accounts for this it makes a huge difference in the long run.
