Wide World of Women

Out of all four Wild Card Weekend matchups, this is the only one that is a rematch from this regular season. The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Philadelphia Eagles on November 24, 17-9; a road win for Seattle. And because of their finale against the 49ers ending in such controversial fashion, they'll have to start on the road this postseason. Some would say that it worked out in the Seahawks' favor, as their 12-4 record included going 7-1 on the road this season. The Eagles, well, I'll say this, they have been fun and interesting. We all have enjoyed laughing at the circus known as the NFC East; the division nobody wanted to win. We watched the Eagles and Cowboys both lose games week after week, but they both picked things up late, as they entered their head-to-head matchup tied at 7-7. A second loss to Dallas this season would have ended their season, but they would defeat the Cowboys in Week 16 and beat the Giants in Week 17 to win the NFC East at 9-7. And all with Carson Wentz actually staying healthy at QB.

Notes: The last team to win the NFC East at 9-7: the 2011 New York Giants. We all know how that ended. This could be interesting. A Saints win would send the winner of this game to Santa Clara, meaning a possible third matchup between the Seahawks and 49ers. A Vikings upset would send the winner of this game to Lambeau. The only road team to win in Lambeau this year? The Eagles. All very interesting scenarios, but when the dust settles, I expect Seattle to take this.

Prediction: Seahawks by 10

#1

Seahawks 17, Eagles 9

Exact same score as their Week 12 matchup; Seahawks move on to Lambeau.
