Betting Trend to Know

Backing Seattle and the Under has been very profitable in the head-to-head, with the Seahawks going 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings and the Under going 5-0 in the previous five. Find more NFL betting trends for Seahawks vs. Eagles.

Against the Spread (ATS) Pick

Seattle is coming off an impressive win over Arizona and gets to enjoy 10 days off as a reward. The Seahawks are just 2-3 SU in their last five games and 2-4 ATS in their previous six but it's worth noting that those losses came against strong teams like the Rams, Cardinals (Week 7) and Bills

The Eagles are far from a strong team, going just 1-5 ATS against teams outside their terrible, terrible division. Their offense has been largely to blame for their disastrous start to the year, mustering just 22 points per game and ranking 30th in the league in offensive DVOA, according to Football Outsiders. On the other hand, the Seahawks attack has been terrific, ranking second in the league with 31.8 ppg and fourth in offensive DVOA.

As anyone who follows football knows, a good quarterback is integral to a team's success and the Seahawks have one of the best in the business in Wilson. The seven-time Pro-Bowler is having another MVP caliber season, completing 70.7 percent of his passes for 2,986 yards and 30 touchdowns through 10 games.

Philadelphia's Carson Wentz has arguably been the worst starting QB in the NFL, putting up a pedestrian passer rating of 73.3, which ranks 31st in the league. After reports surfaced that rookie Jalen Hurts has been taking snaps with the first team during practice it looks like he could see increased reps on Monday night.

Giving Hurts a chance to get on the field might be good for the Eagles longterm success but it won't help in the short term. Philly's offense won't be able to keep pace with Seattle in this one: take the Seahawks to win and cover. 

PREDICTION: Seattle -6.5 (-110)

 

Over/Under Pick

The Seahawks' high-flying offense and atrocious defense led to plenty of Overs early in the season but they've gone Under the total in their last two games. In those two contests, they held a pair of solid offenses in the Rams and Cardinals to just 351.5 yards and 22 points per game.

Now, the Seahawks take on a pathetic Philly team that has scored just 17 points in each of its past two games and is 4-0 to the Under in its previous four contests.

With the Eagles' offensive struggles and wet and windy weather expected for Monday night, we're leaning towards the Under. And if you're a fan of head-to-head betting trends they're leaning in the same direction, with the Under going 5-0 in the last five meetings—including two identical 17-9 Seattle wins last season (one during the wild-card game).

PREDICTION: Under 49 (-110)

Player Prop

One area where Philadelphia has excelled this season has been their pass rush, with the Eagles ranking second in the league in sacks with 34.

Seattle continues to have one of the worst offensive lines in the league and has allowed 33 sacks, third-worst in the NFL. After years of having a terrible group of blockers in front of him, Wilson is used to making things happen with his feet, scrambling for 42 yards last game and 60 the previous week.

Expect Wilson to take off when the pocket breaks down and bet the Over on his rushing yards. 

PREDICTION: Russell Wilson Over 27.5 rushing yards (-115)
