Eagles Host Seahawks in Monday Night Football
Incredibly enough the Philadelphia Eagles lead the NFC East with a record of 3-6-1. Which illustrates as to why the division should be called the NFC “Least.” Somebody has to win the division and many analysts believe that Philadelphia is the best of four bad NFL betting options. Monday night the Eagles host the Seattle Seahawks in a matchup of opposites. To illuminate the Seahawks are all offense and no defense. While the Eagles have a solid defense but no offense. Last January the Seahawks scored a 17-9 playoff win at Philadelphia. Things have never been the same for either club since that day.

For this Monday night matchup of division leaders Seattle will draw the majority of sportsbook handle. If for no other reason than the recent performance of both teams. Of course, NFL MVP candidate Russell Wilson will generate gambling activity as well. By contrast the Eagles are becoming a very difficult sell to the masses. Gamblers have grown weary of their perpetual failures.
Seattle Sparked by Superman Wilson to NFC West Lead
A first-place tie in the NFC West with the Rams is Seattle’s current position entering this week’s game at Philadelphia. Last Thursday night the Seahawks beat Arizona 28-21 as 3-point home chalks with under the total of 56.5 paying as well. Seattle now stands at 7-3 straight up, 6-4 against the spread, with 6-4 over the total. Seattle ranks 4th in the NFL for offense and 2nd for scoring. Of major concern is a defense ranked dead last in the NFL and 29th for points allowed. Seattle has lost four of their last six to the spread. Public popularity and that bad defense have eroded wagering value.
Eagles Flop atop NFC Least
In recent action the Eagles have failed to cover three of their last four against the pro football betting odds. Philadelphia is coming off a 22-17 loss at Cleveland as 2.5-point dogs as under the total of 45.5 got the cash too.

Defensively they’re 10th in the NFL and 16th for points allowed. Because of an eyesore ranking of 30th for turnovers has the defense been under increased pressure. Also problematic is that the Eagles rank only 28th for takeaways.
