Eagles-Seahawks stats that pop: Philadelphia's trouble begins on the plane image

Winning in Seattle is tough enough. Add a rookie quarterback and a team that has struggled on the road this season to the equation, and you understand why the 5-4 Eagles initially were given 6.5 points against the 6-2-1 Seahawks.

The all-time series between these birds is tied at seven, and both are flying high off a Week 10 win.
