Thursday Night Football: Eagles at Seahawks

The Game: Philadelphia Eagles (4-7) at Seattle Seahawks

The Line: Seattle +2.5

News: Vick Not Expected to Play for Eagles, Sidney Rice Out for Seattle

Analysis: The question in this one really is what Eagles team will show up. The team has been a major disappointment all season and now Andy Reid's job in jeopardy, and having to travel to the West Coast on a short week to face a team that has a strong home-field advantage. The Eagles rank in the Top 10 in most offensive stats, but also near last in turnovers. Seattle has won 2 of its last 3 and as turned to the running game with Lynch. The Eagles are clearly the more talented team, but games are won on the field, not on paper.

Bet Trends: The public continues to love the Eagles with 67.3% of the action. Eagles are 4-10 ATS last 14 games, but 7-2 ATS last 9 after a double digit loss at home. Seattle is 6-2-1 ATS last 9 and 5-1 ATS last 6 versus NFC teams.

The Pick: Eagles -2.5 - Eagles should turn focus back to McCoy to win this one, and Seattle will have trouble on offense with Tavaris Jackson looking shaky at best.
