Seahawks vs. Eagles Point Spread: Fantasy Spotlight - Mark Sanchez, Russell Wilson
The Seahawks vs. Eagles point spread had Philadelphia as a -1 home favorite though some books were now offering this one at -2.
60% of those betting this game liked Seattle as a +1 underdog. That percentage increased to 62% with the line moving up one point.
The Seahawks enter this game with an 8-4 record and have paid out in six of those games. The Eagles were at 9-3 Straight Up and looked to capture the NFC North division. They have paid gamblers in eight of those games.
The Eagles are running a play every 22.8 seconds of possession, which is the fastest in the league, according to ESPN.com. Since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule in 1978, that would be the fastest by any team over a single season.
The Seahawks WR are averaging 10.9 yards per reception, the 2nd-lowest rate in the NFL this season.
Mark Sanchez has been gelling with Philadelphia since taking over for injured Nick Foles. This week, fantasy owners should sit Sanchez as Seattle features the stingiest defense to opposing QBs, allowing a mere 11.5 fantasy points per game.
Russell Wilson should fare much better as the Eagles defense has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing signal callers.
