The schedule has not been kind to the Eagles, who have had the misfortune of playing the Cowboys (twice), Chiefs, Bills and 49ers over the last five weeks. The good news is they managed to go 3-2 and will finish the season with a cupcake stretch that features the Giants twice and the Cardinals.
With that in mind, a rebound victory against the Seahawks — their last legitimate opponent — could be a nice confidence boost as they transition to the postseason.
The Seahawks are in a similar boat as they are wrapping up a tough stretch of games. Their last six contests have been against the Ravens, Commanders, Rams, 49ers (twice) and Cowboys. Seattle did not fare as well as the Eagles though, going 1-5 over this stretch of games.
The stage is set for primetime at Lumen Field, so let's get to our Eagles vs Seahawks same game parlay for Monday Night Football.

I was hoping to make an over pick, but the Seattle quarterback situation being in question makes committing to the game total difficult. Instead, we are focusing on the Eagles specifically and hoping for a rebound after their disappointing showing against the Cowboys.
The No. 1 reason to hope for a better Eagles performance is because they had four drives with critical self-inflicted errors. Three of Philly’s drives ended with a fumble in Dallas territory and the fourth was a crucial drop in the end zone by DeVonta Smith. If one or two of those things go right, we are thinking much more highly of the Eagles — they may have even covered the spread.
Focusing on MNF, Seattle’s defense has been terrible during this 1-5 stretch, allowing 28.6 points per game and 409 yards per game. Philly should be able to light up the scoreboard.
DeVonta Smith’s resurgence has been a pleasant surprise. In the last six games, Smith is averaging 87.3 yards per game and 6.2 catches per game. Teams have started giving additional attention to A.J. Brown, who lit the NFL on fire early in the season.
The defensive adjustments have opened the door for Smith to show he has the talent to be a team’s top receiver. Against the Seahawks, Smith will take advantage of whatever secondary is left after the Seahawks focus their resources on slowing Brown.

At its core, Philly is built to play and lean on arguably the best offensive line in the NFL. The Eagles have slowly drifted away from that in recent weeks and I expect them to reset and lean on their run to set up the passing game.
Seattle is the perfect team to reset a run game against. Seattle ranks 24th in yards per carry allowed and has allowed over 130 rushing yards to each of its last three opponents.
Early in the year, Swift was a major contributor, putting up 175 rushing yards against Minnesota and 130 against Tampa Bay. Since then, he has not exceeded 80 rushing yards in any game.
Sixty or more rushing yards should be easy to do for this electric back behind a top-two offensive line (per PFF).
