1. The Eagles run for over 200 yards

Like I said before, Philly has the best run defense in the NFL. However, Seattle is also solid. They are currently ninth in the NFL and have only given up 1,082 rushing yards on the season. That is good enough for just 98.4 rushing yards per game. Philly is going to double that average on Sunday.

They have the stable or running backs to do it, and they will. The most prominent scare for the Eagles is that the Seahawks have caused five fumbles this year, so after a three fumble performance against the Bears in Week 12, the Eagles running backs needs to hold onto the ball in Week 13. I believe they will, and they will all have big games.

It all starts with LeGarrette Blount. He is the guy that can wear down a defense throughout a game. Look for him to go for 100+ on Sunday Night football and score a touchdown. Then there is Jay Ajayi. People can say he is upset with his touches, but I do not buy that. I think he was upset with his fumble. In Week 13, that will all be put in the past when he runs for 50+ and a score. Rookie undrafted free agent Corey Clement will also add 50+ on the day, giving the Eagles 200 or more yards against one of the best run defenses in the NFL.

The Eagles offensive line will make a statement on Sunday. And the statement will be that they are built to win the Super Bowl because they can run the ball against anyone.
