Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles
Sunday afternoon the Philadelphia Eagles head to the Pacific Northwest to take on the Seattle Seahawks at Qwest Field. With All-Pro Brian Westbrook back in the lineup and Donovan McNabb scrambling and making plays, odds maker are calling the Eagles a 6 ½ point favorite on the road in Seattle.

This Sunday Westbrook and McNabb will try to lead the Eagles to their third straight victory when they visit Seattle. Westbrook missed two of Philadelphia's past three games with broken ribs, but looked very good in the Eagles' 27-14 win over Atlanta last Sunday. He rushed for 167 yards and two touchdowns.

The injury still bothered Westbrook throughout last week's game, but he said, "Those are things you have to play through."

McNabb also looked solid against the Falcons as he threw for 253 yards, ran for another 25 and scored his first rushing touchdown 2006.

"It makes
all the difference when you have a guy back there with the arm that Donovan has, but also has the ability to scramble and to make plays when there's no receivers open," Westbrook said.

Seneca Wallace is expected to make his third straight start for ailing quarterback Matt Hasselback. The Seahawks signal caller has been sidelined by a leg problem stemming from a bulging disk in his back.

Wallace was 15-of-25 for 222 yards and two touchdowns, but most importantly, he had no turnovers in last Sunday's 34-13 win over San Francisco.

Seattle will probably need to air it out again this week as they face a Philadelphia team that has been stingy against the run. The Eagles limited the Falcons to 77 rushing yards on 24 attempts last week.

The Seahawks have struggled in the run game, they have not been able to stay consistent at the quarterback position and the Philly defense has proven to be tough. Take the Eagles on the road and give the 6 1/2.
