Key factors noted: Everyone talks about riding streaks in a money line sport like baseball but, it is funny because most bettors in ATS sports like football like to play against a streak. There really is no difference. When a team is hot they are hot and no one is hotter than the Eagles right now. Philadelphia has covered 8 straight games and one of the top offenses in the league gets to face a defense that is hurting with key injured players including safety Kam Chancellor and cornerback Richard Sherman. Other defensive players are hurt too so it is not as if those two are the only important pieces. As for the other side of the ball, the Seahawks definitely have a talented offense but the Eagles have one of the top ranked defenses in the league. At some point the Eagles are sure to have an emotional letdown and this will impact their level of play but that is more likely to come 2 or 3 weeks from now when they face a bad Giants team or a non-conference foe like the Raiders. Philadelphia is absolutely "up" for this game and wanting to prove on a national stage that they can win on the road in a tough venue. With the Sunday night cameras rolling, the Eagles will be at their best and that is bad news for Seahawks fans. Seattle is 1-4 ATS in home games this season and a long-term 34-51 ATS when off of a win against a division rival. The Eagles make is 9-0 ATS their last 9.
