Pick and Pointers

Philadelphia Eagles (4-7) @ Seattle Seahawks (4-7)

Line: PHI by 3.0

Pointers:

> Maclin and Vick are both rules out for this contest for the Eagles, and Nnamdi isn't healthy

> Seattle has the 5th ranked rush defense (giving up 3.6 YPC)

> 85% action on the Eagles

> Seahawks are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games

Pick: I hate Philly in this spot. They are injured, they are on the road, they are coming off a big loss, their season is over, and they are facing a team that has been covering the spread really well lately. I like the Seahawks to bounce back at home against the Eagles and win this one 24-21.

Key Injuries: Maclin and Vick are out as mentioned earlier. Nnamdi is hurt real bad and is questionable. Sidney Rice is hurt and doubtful for this game.

Fantasy Advice: I would still play LeSean McCoy because of his touchdown potential, but I like a lot of Seahawks in this game. I like Doug Baldwin because the Eagles have struggled against slot receivers. I like Marshawn Lynch, because the Eagles suck against the run. However. I also like Vince Young and DeSean Jackson. If the Eagles are going to win, they have to do it through the air, and DeSean really needs to bounce back after being benched last week.
