ESPN Picks SEA @ PHI: Jaws reverse psychology edition

[Cartire]

Even picks across the board. I only posted these though because of Ron's pick. Something is eerie here.

I noticed most sites, the picks for this game are split pretty even. Sometimes if there is an odd number of choosers, the Hawks are often getting the extra selection, but this is really a pick 'em game for the experts.

I think on a neutral field, this game is easily ours, but playing back to back road games after two huge victories is the only reason this game is a toss up.

we almost never play well after a bunch of time off. If its a prime time game we usually rise to the occasion.
Eagles have won 12 straight home games.

7-0 over past 2 years with 7 or more days to prepare for an opponent.

...? Nope?

Their first home win in a 413 day span was last year against the Redskins. Definitely can't have a 12 home game streak. Continue to be constantly negative though.

The Seahawks are 5-0 over the past two years when they’ve had more than a week during the season to prepare for the next opponent....

The Eagles are 6-0 at home this season, but all six of those victories came against teams with losing records. And Philadelphia is 2-3 against teams with a winning record.

That is absolutely true...unless by playing well you mean winning the game.

Good Lord Jaws too?

Dammit.

8-5.

Tom Jack's pick gives me hope. He's black enough!

 

[hgwellz12]

Eric Allen and Key DEFINITELY are not black enough.
Mark Schlereth could pass for black, I guess.

Jaws is a senile Aborigine, so...I don't know what to make of his picking us....TANZANIA don't fail us now!

As others have pointed out, the Hawks have an excellent record after extended time off. Also this isn't a prime time game, it's an afternoon game. And the Eagles have won 10 straight regular season home games not 12. Of those 10 wins only one of them was against a team with a winning record. The Eagles have had the cream puffiest of cream puff home schedules over that stretch.

Otherwise your post was spot on. :sarcasm_off:

Not true. We lost to San Diego this year after a 10 day break. http://www.seahawks.com/schedule/season-schedule.html We also lost twice in 2012 after 10 day and 14 day breaks to the Lions and Dolphins. http://www.seahawks.com/schedule/season-schedule.html (2012)

Regardless, we have a good shot this weekend if the D keeps playing like they have the last couple weeks. As for Jaws' pick, that's peculiar but he may just not want to look like a total Philly homer... Or he really thinks our D is back and we're going to win. Hoge too.
