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.
