Philadelphia Eagles: 3 keys to victory over Seahawks in Week 13

The 10-1 Philadelphia Eagles get set to travel cross-country to take on the 7-4 Seattle Seahawks, as the Eagles look to inch closer to a number No. 1 seed.

By the time the Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks kickoff on Sunday night, Doug Pederson’s squad could have the NFC East clinched. If that is not the case, then the Eagles could clinch the division with a win over Seattle. Regardless of that, the Eagles focuses are no longer on winning the NFC East, but in getting a first-round bye and trying to lock up home-field advantage.

The Eagles will continue their quest for doing just that as they head into a loud Century Link Field looking to move to 11-1.

The last time these teams met was just last season, when Seattle controlled most of the game en route to a 26-15 victory. That game will be most remembered for Russell Wilson`s touchdown catch and Nelson Agholor`s costly mistakes.

Last year, it would have been seen as a massive upset if the Eagles went into Seattle and won. This year, the story is a whole lot different. As one of the best teams in the NFL, the Eagles are expected to go into Seattle and possibly pull out a win. This game should not be close to as intimidating as the matchup last season was to the Eagles.

The Seahawks are missing some key contributors in Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor, while the Eagles are clicking on all cylinders and flying high on both sides of the ball. This game has the looks of being a great matchup.

What will it take for the Eagles to go into Seattle and pull out their tenth win in a row, and how will they fare in the hostile environment of Century Link Field? Continue on for three keys to an Eagles victory and this author`s expert prediction!
