Betseeker’s expert tipsters have you covered for the best NFL tips and predictions for every game of the NFL season.
Fitness queries over the starting quarterbacks for both teams leaves this as a particularly difficult game to predict.
Best Bet
Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is dealing with injury while Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is dealing with illness.
Given the poor play of both defences of late the over has plenty of appeal in this one.
Philly have given up 33 or more points in each of their last three, and while those were against three excellent offences in Buffalo, San Francisco and Dallas, there are vulnerabilities in this version of the Eagles defence, particularly in the secondary, that the Seahawks should be able to exploit.
As for the Seahawks defence, they are one of the most disappointing units in the NFL this season, ranking in the bottom for four points allowed and seventh last for yards allowed. They are particularly poor on third down, ranking 30th in the league.
The total here has come down with the injury concerns over the QBs and could come down further if one or both is ruled out.
For the Seahawks, Drew Lock was decent in his first outing of the season last year and for the Eagles, Marcus Mariota is one of the more accomplished backups in the league.
The beauty of Lock is that he is capable of producing points for both teams.
Whoever ends up starting under centre, the over looks a strong bet in this one.
Same Game Multi
The Eagles secondary has struggled to deal with fast, vertical receivers and DK Metcalf fits the bill perfectly. He’s had four scores in the last two weeks.
Value Bet
This is a bet I am only interested in with Smith at quarterback, but if he does then I think the Seahawks are primed to upset a Philadelphia team that has been particularly poor of late.
