NFL Week 12: Seattle Seahawks at Philadelphia Eagles odds, picks and predictions

In the Russell Wilson era, the Seattle Seahawks have owned their bird mascot rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Since Wilson's 2012 rookie year, the Seahawks are 5-0 against the Eagles, with the closest matchup being a pair of 17-9 victories. The Eagles offense hasn't scored 20-plus points against Seattle since 2008 — their last victory over the Seahawks.

Sitting at 3-6-1, and somehow just a win out of the NFC East division lead, the Eagles will look to change their recent fortunes and top Wilson for the first time on "Monday Night Football" in Week 12.

Seattle Seahawks at Philadelphia Eagles Picks

1. Russell Wilson will show out in primetime against a mediocre Eagles secondary, topping 400 passing yards for the first time this season.

2. Eagles rookie QB Jalen Hurts, a backup who is sometimes used in special packages and trick plays, will throw over five times Monday for a season-high in passing attempts and completions.

3. The Seahawks secondary and defense will have their best game of the season (albeit against a struggling offense) turning the Eagles over twice and holding Philly to under 350 total yards.

While Carson Wentz is still expected to start for the Eagles vs. the Seahawks on Monday, second-round pick Jalen Hurts has reportedly received an increase in first-team reps at quarterback.Check out the latest news and notes from around the NFL ⬇️ https://t.co/kUUdrt97Dd
