Week 15 winds down as the Philadelphia Eagles hit the road to face the Seattle Seahawks in a game with major playoff implications.
The Eagles are still vying for the NFC’s No. 1 seed, while the Seahawks are fighting for a wildcard playoff spot.
Additionally, this game is perfect for bettors looking to craft same-game parlays. Here’s a look at two SGPs we think are worth monitoring:
Plenty of question marks surround the health of starting quarterbacks Geno Smith (groin injury) and Jalen Hurts (illness). Should their backups play, or even if they play but not at full health, expect a heavy dose to their top targets.
Regardless of if backup Drew Lock or a hurt Smith play, Metcalf will still see a bulk of the targets.
Similarly, A.J. Brown has been Hurts’ top option in the passing game this season. If for some reason he’s unable to play, Brown’s status as the best receiver won’t change.
Brown boasts 90 receptions on the season, having secured four or more catches in all but one game this year. He’s coming off a nine-reception game last week against the Cowboys.
Finally, Philadelphia running back D’Andre Swift must total 50 or more rushing yards for this parlay to hit. Swift has been dynamic this season for the Eagles, with 822 rushing yards so far.
He’s averaging 63.2 yards per game and hit the 50-yard mark in eight games in 2023.
As mentioned, Brown is the best wideout on the team, and he’s the No. 1 target when the team needs points. Brown leads the Eagles with seven receiving touchdowns this season.
While he’s scored just one touchdown over his last four games, it’s wise to assume he’ll once again be a major factor in Monday’s game plan. The potential for a scoring boom is there, as Brown scored four touchdowns over a three-game span earlier in the year.
Additionally, another wideout must find success Monday: Seattle’s Tyler Lockett. Lockett is one of the most underrated receivers in the league and remains a steady option for the Seahawks.
He’s averaging 54.7 yards per game this season but flashed big play potential. Last week, Lockett totaled 89 receiving yards. He surpassed the 60-yard mark in four games in 2023.
For this long-shot SGP to cash, Seattle running back Kenneth Walker III will need to run for at least 40 yards. There’s value in this leg, as Walker comes off back-to-back weeks in which he failed to rush for more than 21 yards.
This year, he averages 57.6 yards per game and he’s reached the 40-yard mark in eight games. The Philadelphia run defense is solid, but it’s allowed eight different running backs to surpass 40 yards in the last seven games.
