The NFL playoff schedule for 2020 brings a unique set of national TV broadcasts, with four networks presenting four games over the span of two days in the wild-card round. Today's Seahawks vs. Eagles game in Philadelphia, scheduled to kick off at 4:40 p.m. ET, will be shown on NBC.
As the home team and the No. 4 seed in the NFL playoff bracket for the NFC, the Eagles are slight underdogs (one point) against the No. 5-seeded Seahawks, basically making this wild-card matchup a toss-up game.
Philadelphia enters the playoffs having closed the regular season with four consecutive wins, tied for the NFC’s second-longest active streak behind Green Bay (five). The Eagles, though, are being impacted by an absurd amount of injuries, which will be a factor in the wild-card game.
SEAHAWKS vs. EAGLES PICKS:
Against the spread | Straight-up predictions
Though the Seahawks are dealing with injuries key of their own, they are less depleted than the Eagles. Those injuries also are the reasons viewers will get to watch Marshawn Lynch play in another playoff game for Seattle.
The running back the Seahawks brought back a couple weeks ago now has a chance at a playoff milestone. Lynch has recorded at least 100 rushing yards in six of his 11 career postseason appearances. With at least 100 rushing yards against Philadelphia, he would tie Pro Football Hall of Famers Terrell Davis and Emmitt Smith (seven games) for the most career postseason games with at least 100 rushing yards in NFL history.
