If there is any bright spot for the Eagles (3-6-1 straight up; 3-7 against the spread - ATS) in 2020, it’s the fact they have shined under the primetime lights.
The Eagles are 3-0 straight up and 2-1 ATS this season in night games this season. However, those three opponents were the 49ers, Giants and Cowboys. None of those teams have a record over .500.
Safe to say the Seahawks (7-3 SU; 6-4 ATS) are a step up in a class this week for the Birds. A lot of that has to do with Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson who is 5-0 (including playoffs) all-time SU and ATS versus the Eagles.
