Jalen Hurts QB vs. Geno Smith QB
Jalen Hurts is having an MVP-caliber season, using his dual-threat abilities to lift Philadelphia’s offense. He’s passed for over 3,100 yards with 19 touchdowns and added another 747 rushing yards. Hurts needs just 53 yards to break Michael Vick’s team record for rushing yards by a QB. With weapons like A.J. Brown at his disposal, Hurts should thrive against a porous Seattle defense allowing the fifth-most passing yards per game (252.2).
Meanwhile, Geno Smith has been one of the biggest surprises. The veteran is posting career-bests in completion percentage (64.4%), yards (2,918), and touchdowns (15). While he protects the ball well, Smith will be tested by an Eagles defense allowing the NFL’s fewest passing touchdowns (11). The absence of breakout rookie Kenneth Walker III only makes his job harder.
Eagles’ Offensive Prowess: Ground and Air Domination
The Eagles backfield belongs to undrafted rookie D’Andre Swift. Scott brings veteran savvy as a runner and receiver, while Swift offers explosive open-field ability. Together, they help form one of the NFL’s most efficient rushing attacks. Swift is averaging 4.6 yards per carry and Scott 5.3 yards per touch. They should feast on a Seattle defense ranked just 25th against the run (135.5 yards allowed per game).
Seahawks’ Balanced Offensive Approach
The Seahawks offense, led by Kenneth Walker III and DK Metcalf, is a well-balanced force. Walker has 634 rushing yards and six touchdowns for Seattle while Metcalf has amassed 864 receiving yards and seven touchdowns to be an important component in their passing attack. Their effectiveness will be key when facing off against Philadelphia Eagles defense.
NFL Betting Odds: Philadelphia Eagles -210, Over/Under: 47.5
The betting odds favor the Eagles, reflecting their superior season performance. The over/under set at 47.5 points suggests expectations of a relatively high-scoring game, acknowledging the offensive capabilities of both teams.
