With bye weeks officially over, the NFL Week 15 odds slate is jam-packed with games, including this battle of the birds between the Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks.
After starting the season 10-1 in their first 11 games, the Eagles have lost two consecutive games, losing their grip atop the NFC standings. With the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers closing the gap, the margin for error is shrinking.
On the other side, the Seahawks are sitting at 6-7 and fighting for their playoff lives. Losers of four straight games, can they get back on track in a must-win game?
Will they have quarterback Geno Smith in Week 15? He sat out last week with a groin injury, and his status for this week remains in question.

Eagles vs Seahawks Predictions
Score Pick: Eagles 31, Seahawks 24
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is coming off his worst single-game performance of the season. Not to mention, the Eagles are coming off two straight losses to teams they hope to face down the line in the NFL playoffs and lost both mercifully, so they should be looking to exact their revenge in Week 15 against the Seahawks.
Smith should play for the Seahawks this week since he was close to suiting up last week, in which case the Seahawks offense is in a prime spot to put up points against an Eagles defense that’s allowed at least 33 points in three straight games.
Expect the Eagles to get back on track with a much-needed victory in this game, but the Seahawks will have a chance to keep things close in front of their home crowd.
Eagles vs Seahawks Best Bets & Props
Seahawks Over 21.5 (-114)
FanDuel Sportsbook • WAGER: 2 Units
The Eagles’ defense is susceptible to giving up points in bunches. They rank 28th in the NFL in opponent points per game (24.7), with the defensive struggles heightening in recent weeks.
As long as Smith suits up, the Seahawks shouldn’t have any issues eclipsing this total. And even if he sits, Drew Lock looked formidable in his spot start last week against the 49ers and now has a much softer matchup here, making this my NFL bet of the day.
Eagles Win Both Halves (+100)
FanDuel Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
The Eagles desperately need a bounce-back win, but they need a convincing victory to get back on track and re-establish themselves as a premiere team in the NFL just as much. Head coach Nick Sirianni is going to make sure his team is prepared to return to form on Monday Night Football against a team whose last win happened a month ago.
Alternate Over 50.5 (+122)
FanDuel Sportsbook • WAGER: 0.5 Units
While the Eagles rank 28th in the NFL in opponent points per game, the Seahawks rank 27th (24.5). Neither of these defenses has proven they’re capable of containing opposing offenses and now faces talented offensive units. Plus-money odds feel like a great value and a bet worth making.

- Eagles (-196)
- Seahawks Over 21.5 (-114)
Despite the two-game skid, Hurts has a 24-4 record in his last 28 starts. In other words, betting the Eagles to win this game outright feels like a safe pick in a primetime matchup that the Eagles need to have.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks offense will have success moving the ball against an Eagles defense that has not been able to replicate last season’s dominance.
