Week 15 expert picks for “Monday Night Football” and what they mean for the playoffs: Hawks vs. Eagles
There are only three games left in the regular season, but the Lions already have a three-game cushion in the division.
They need just one win, and a Vikings loss, to clinch the division and a playoff game at home. That could happen right away as this Sunday.
So, you might want to root over Seattle if you don’t mind waiting until they’re sure of a playoff spot with bigger goals in the future.
With an Eagles (and Cowboys) win, their record would be 10-4, exactly like the Lions’. This would make it possible for them to get a better seed in the playoffs.
The Eagles are favored by a field goal at DraftKings Sportsbook, and the Pride of Detroit team agrees.
They are additionally backing Philadelphia against the moneyline, though some staff members have different opinions on the spread.
Two sides in Week 15’s Monday Night Football are the Philadelphia Eagles along with the Seattle Seahawks.
Both are trying to end long losing streaks. If both teams want to make the NFL playoffs, they can’t afford to lose this game. It should be very intense.
In our Week 15 Eagles vs. Seahawks picks or predictions against the spread, our experts look at this game and tell you how to bet on it.
With a win, Seattle moves up to the No. 2 place in the NFC. The Lions will continue to do their work, but getting there will be a lot easier.
Weeks 13 and 14 of the season were different from the first 12 weeks for the season. They played pretty badly in some early games, but not nearly as badly as they performed in “big boy” games against the Niners and Cowboys.
The offense failed to make a play last week, and the defense looks worn out and bad. That’s tied over the longest run of straight wins for dogs on NFL since during the initial six weeks during the 1985 season.
A former coworker at ESPN told me this interesting fact: in the last five weeks, underdogs have won all six games in Monday Night Football. Last week, the Giants along with Titans were two big favorites.
Most of the last three weeks, the Seahawks have let the San Francisco 49ers along with the Dallas Cowboys score 33.3 points per game. In this game, the Eagles’ attack should be able to beat the Seattle defense just as well.
Even though Philadelphia has had less rest in the last two games, that doesn’t explain why they let the Bills score 34 points in Week 12.
Geno Smith should be back for the Seahawks’ offense. He can be very dangerous against the Eagles’ defense.
But the Eagles’ defense hasn’t been much better either. It doesn’t matter how successful they are if they don’t make the playoffs, which is still possible since they’ll be only 8-6.
It looks like this game will come down on the last possession if Hurts can play. If the line was still four points, I would vote for the Seahawks to win against the spread. The line will stay at 3 or 3.5, though, so I’ll just look at picking the over.
One-game teasers that put the Seahawks at +9 and the total at 41.5 would be an interesting play here. You would have odds of -110 or bet on both the amount spread and the sum with some peace of mind.

In the NFC, the Eagles already had a spot but didn’t play. Should the Eagles beat the Seahawks tonight, they will earn a playoff spot, which is the only playoff-related thing that could happen.
Six teams are no longer in the running for the playoffs. You might want to learn about what free agency will be like in 2023 if you enjoy the Jets, Titans, Cardinals, Commanders, Panthers, or Patriots.
I have to say yes, even though it sounds crazy. The Ravens, Dolphins, and Chiefs are the top three teams across the AFC right now.
The Bills already beat the Dolphins badly, and they just beat the Chiefs. If they faced the Ravens tomorrow, I’d expect Buffalo to win.
