Of course this applies to Seattle in their matchup with the Eagles. I did some searches on this and came up empty.

I am looking for the number of times between teams not in the same division...I know that some divisional opponents have faced each other 3x in a year and one team has won all 3 games in a year but Seattle and Philly are not in the same division...

It must be an oddity for a team to beat another team twice in their own house in one year?

Well, there is a limited number of games because it rarely happens. We know that if teams play 3 times in a season and team A won the first 2 games, then they win the third game, too most times. We would need to figure out how many times the third game was on the road out of those games, but it suggests it’s not difficult to beat a team twice on the road; the harder part is the schedule lining up to play the same team twice on the road in one season.

Hey partner, hope you're well and long live The Duck!! Don't have the exact scenario you seek of just the single regular season road game but there is this.

Since 1990, there have been sixteen times when a team was swept in the regular season and then met that opponent a third time in the playoffs. The team that swept the regular season went 11-5 (8-7-1 ATS) in the postseason

So teams have zero issue beating a team for a third time that they beat twice in the regular season. From this we can take away that it is no big feat at all to beat a team on their home turf for a second time in a season.

it’s an oddity for them to be matched up twice in the same venue; especially since the NFL didn’t realign to 4 divisions in each conference until 2002, meaning if teams met in the playoffs it is likely they were in the same division.

Ok PB...thanks for finding that stat...the Duck will probably have a happier life far from the madding crowd living a simpler life far away from the NFL.

I simply can't bet the Eagles in this one...ha... I had them in their first meeting with Seattle. I will layoff that game more than likely.

I'm glad you made me look at this because I already like Seattle and what I like even more is if Seattle wins Sunday, I like them going to San Fran and upsetting the Niners. This just adds more fuel to that feeling.

Why yes they did... an_light

Jacksonville is the only team that has beaten the Steelers twice in Pittsburgh in the same season...and the Jags have now done that twice (2007-2008 and 2017-2018 seasons).

1st of all, the stat being from division rivals makes it totally different. Not least because losing to a team twice in the reg season would be a lot different psychologically, and point to a more complete 'bad matchup' than one win.

Concluding that that stat applies to this is bad capping imo. You just WANT it to apply cuz you like Seattle, it's textbook confirmation bias

2nd, they are not going to SF and beating them. Despite having a chance to come back they had no answer for the 9ers offense especially Kittle. Seattles defense is like 27th in yards allowed 9ers are best in the conf.

Penny had 129 yrds vs Philly last time. Lynch is over the hill and Homer is a rook. And all those stats about Wentz 0-3 and Russ 4-0 that is along espns bottom line all day is just sucking people in.

It's gonna be a close game. Eagles are banged up, but Seahawks are thin at RB and their D isnt that good.

I lean to Seattle but I wouldnt be surprised if Philly pulls it out. If they can win the SB against the GOAT with Nick Foles then they can do anything. Pederson is the better coach. Carroll had the chance to beat Brady, he took the ball out or Lynchs hands.

Dougie Doug called Philly Philly. And theyre playing with house money at this point with all those injuries to win the division is remarkable. Seattle lost 3 of 4 to end the year only beating Carolina who stinks.

JAGS did to PIT in 2017 - badly in regular season and shootout in playoffs - good call NBL.

The example of a team sweeping isn't so relevant as mostly if you swept regular season you are at home in 3rd game - think NE vs any of the shitty AFC Easts that sneak into playoffs every so often. Think GB vs crappy DET team (just giving example, not sure this did happen).

Maybe this will be a shootout too. Despite a lot of weapons missing for both teams, and the first game being low scoring, the total is in the mid 40s.

And since the RBs for both teams are banged up they might try to throw more. Seattle D isnt that good and Philly gave up some big plays the 2 games vs NYG, long passes to Slayton game 1 and Barkley game 2.

Both teams are good in the red zone, phi 3rd seattle 9th in TD percentage. Philly 15th seattle 26th in red zone defense.

Which gives philly an edge also but they are much better with Ertz in there. Goedert has kind of tsken over that role hes a big targer down there and Arcega Whiteside has a good catch radius.

Clowney hasnt practiced and Seattle doesnt have much pass rush even with him. The key to beating the birds is getting pressure on Wentz. He hasnt thrown a pick in a while but he does fumble.

In fact, Philly leads the league in fumbles and is 2nd in fumbles lost.

Seattle and Philly are not in the same division. Clearly you misunderstood everything. I was not referring to anything statistically regarding Seattle and San Fran. Go back and read the posted article. The article is about teams who are able to beat a team twice on the road going to have success in the playoffs, meaning if Seattle beats Philly they will have accomplished just that, and teams that do that have a history of winning again after that. Check your reading comprehension, maybe you didn't read the article being referred to? I stopped reading after textbook confirmation bias lol. Goodluck with whatever you're doing this weekend
