Seattle @ Eagles Preview

The Seattle Seahwaks, leader of the NFC West at 7-4, come into Philadelphia to face an Eagles team who is in a must win scenario, and will be in a must win scenario for the rest of the season. The Eagles will be without Mcnabb for the second straight game and AJ will get his second straight start in as many games. The Eagles are coming off that heartbreaking loss against the Patriots but will hopefully be able to carry on the momentum.
With Mcnabb being out again, like always the Eagles will rely on Westbrook. The Seahawks do have the potential to let up big plays on the grounf but overall have a good run defense. AJ will need to play just like he did against the Patriots, but will have to limit the turnovers in order to get his first win of the season.
The Seahawks without Shaun Alexander have become a pass happy team. Hassleback has been averaging 38 passes per game over the last two games, but has been extremely successful. The Eagles will have to try and stop this and are capable with a heatlhy secondary.
I believe this will be a higher scoring game, with the eagles pulling it off 34 28. Keeping their playoff hopes alive in a dismal NFC.
