Pros
- This game’s line suggests a throwing game script for the Eagles, who are -6.5-point underdogs.
- The model projects the Eagles as the 3rd-most run-heavy offense among all teams this week with a 49.9% run rate, accounting for their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.
- Our trusted projections expect D’Andre Swift to notch 15.3 carries in this contest, on balance, putting him in the 86th percentile when it comes to RBs.
- After comprising 25.3% of his offense’s run game usage last season, D’Andre Swift has been more involved in the run game this season, currently comprising 48.4%.
- This year, the tough Seahawks run defense has given up a feeble 4.64 adjusted yards-per-carry to the opposition’s running game: the 24th-smallest rate in the NFL.
Cons
- The model projects the Eagles offense to be the slowest paced team in football (in a neutral context) right now, averaging 28.45 seconds per snap.
- D’Andre Swift’s 4.5 adjusted yards per carry this year shows a substantial decline in his rushing skills over last year’s 5.4 mark.
- With an atrocious record of 2.49 yards after contact (15th percentile) this year, D’Andre Swift stands among the least effective running backs in football.
