Eagles-Seawhawks predictions

Here is the rundown of prediction for tonight's Eagles-Sehawks game from the Daily News:
LES BOWEN
Who knows?
And maybe more pertinent, who cares?
If the Eagles still do, they should win, but anybody with any confidence in this team’s focus and desire coming off that New England loss is an optimist indeed.
The Birds’ defensive line, the most consistent part of the operation, ought to be able to get to Tarvaris Jackson, and key on Marshawn Lynch. If Vince Young can stop underthrowing DeSean Jackson, and Andy Reid and Marty Mornhinweg remember they employ LeSean McCoy, the Eagles should be able to score enough points to win, if that really means anything at this point.
An Eagles loss, on the other hand, might go further toward defining the future beyond this season.
Prediction: Eagles, 20-16
VEGAS VIC
Raise your hand if when the NFL schedule was released you thought this would be a matchup of 4-7 teams. OK, I see no one with a hand up. No one! What started out as a season with enormous promise for the Birds has turned into a nightmare. Right now the Eagles trail the Cowboys and the wild-card teams by three games, and with all the injuries, a fourth straight playoff appearance looks like a real longshot. Michael Vick will miss another game, Jeremy Maclin is out, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is gone, LeSean McCoy is questionable and who knows where DeSean Jackson’s mind will be tonight. Seattle ain’t exactly ripping the covers off the rest of the NFL, but the Seahawks have been a money-maker at home, covering nine of the last 15. And we’re thinking that Pete Carroll will look to pay back Vince Young for that crushing defeat in the National Championship game.
Prediction: Seahawks, 24-22
Also:
Ed Barkowitz: Eagles, 24-13
Bill Conlin: Eagles, 23-21
Paul Domowitch: Eagles, 27-17
Marcus Hayes: Eagles, 24-17
John Smallwood: Eagles, 24-17

Seahawks 42 Eagles 17— taxmanndumbeth- Here's what I dont want...I dont want us to eek out wins here towards the end. Finish super strong (which is tough to do w/ ur 100 mill QB on the bench ..mind u he will always be down this time of season..ALWAYS) or just stink it up. Lay down, pack it in ....force Luries hand in firing Reid.— RealizticFan
- Why any of the reporters on here are still picking the Eagles to bounce back and actually win a game is a mystery to me. The comparisons to the recent Eagles playoff teams and that this is just a down year need to stop. This is a bad, bad football team. And until the Eagles admit that much and start making changes, it's going to get worse.— Steve74
- My prediction??

nice predictions...- People you get what you pay for.I NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB OF PREPARING THIS TEAM FOR A LOSING SEASON— tobyjoe
- It is great to read this after the loss. Everyone was so wrong. Why do we all still believe in this team? My most fun weekend this season was the weekend I traveled to Chicago during the Arizona game. I wasn't able to see a second of the game, and just heard we lost afterward. Stress free, no yelling or cursing at the tv, no pulling my hair out over a bad play call or dumb timeout. It was a great weekend. I will not be participating in any more Sunday viewing of this team. I love the eagles, and I love the nfl, but this breaks my heart, and ruins my week. No more. Haha they were funny tonight tho, Andy even laughed while giving responses at the press conference because he has said the same thing for 8 weeks. Hahaha it's great.— Knock0ut12
- More evidence the sportswriters covering the Eagles are such "homers" they can't objectively analyze the teams and make a pick.....it's the usual blinded hope they win, very unprofessional analysis— morrisrh
