The Eagles and Seahawks have met six times since 1998 and the home team has never won.
Not that these two struggling teams are concerned with that stat, given they both come off humbling losses and play on a short week here in Thursday night. Michael Vick won't play and a handful of injured Eagles may return for this game, which would sway the Eagles Seahawks point spread.
Of note, the OVER is 9-2 past 11 home games for the Seahawks, while the Eagles are 9-1 SU, 8-2 ATS in their past 10 December road games.
No line had been posted early in the week, but iit opened at -3 for the Eagles over at Sportsbook. The total settled in at 43 and dozens of player props have gone up today at Sportsbook.
