Eagles-Raiders: Staff picks, betting odds, and more for the Birds' quest to catch a break

Eagles in Free Fall, Raiders Looking to Get Back on Track as They Face Off at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Philadelphia Eagles are struggling, having lost three consecutive games. Jalen Hurts' performance against the Chargers was particularly dismal, with the quarterback throwing four interceptions. The team's offense has been struggling all season, and now they'll face off against a Raiders team that hasn't won in eight weeks.

The Raiders' offense is one of the worst in the NFL, ranking 32nd in points per game and averaging just 257.2 yards per game. Quarterback Geno Smith is struggling to find his footing, and the team's overall performance has been inconsistent.

While the Eagles are not looking their best, they still have a strong defense that could give the Raiders trouble. The Eagles' defense has been solid all season, ranking near the top of the league in several categories. They'll need to be at their best if they're going to stop the Raiders' offense and secure a win.

However, the Raiders have shown an ability to stay competitive against some strong teams. In their last five games, they've lost to the Broncos twice, the Bears once, and the Jaguars once, all of which were close games. They also tied the Chargers 7-7 at halftime in Week 13 before ultimately losing.

The game is expected to be played on a short week for both teams, with the Eagles facing off against the Raiders just days after their own bye week ended. This could make things difficult for Jalen Hurts and his offense, which has struggled with consistency all season.

Nick Tricome of PhillyVoice Sports is predicting a low-scoring game in favor of the Raiders, 13-9. He notes that the Eagles' offense has been struggling to find its footing all season and that the Raiders' defense could be able to shut them down. However, he also acknowledges that the Eagles have a strong defense and that the game should be competitive.

On the other hand, Geoff Mosher of PhillyVoice Sports is predicting a closer game in favor of the Eagles, 23-16. He notes that the Eagles are still a better team than the Raiders, despite their recent struggles, and that they have the talent to pull off a win. However, he also warns that the Eagles' offense can be inconsistent and that the game could be close until the end.

Ultimately, it's difficult to predict which team will come out on top in this matchup. The Eagles are struggling, but they still have a strong defense that could give the Raiders trouble. The Raiders, on the other hand, have shown an ability to stay competitive against some strong teams and could pull off an upset if their offense can get going.

One thing is certain, however: this game should be an interesting one to watch. Both teams are struggling, but the Eagles' defense has been solid all season, making them a formidable opponent for the Raiders' offense. Will the Eagles be able to secure a win and end their losing streak? Or will the Raiders pull off an upset and get back on track? Only time will tell.
 
I'm so over these NFL teams struggling right now πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ’¨ The Eagles are like, lost three games in a row already! Can't they just string together some decent performances for once?! And don't even get me started on Jalen Hurts' throwing stats – four interceptions against the Chargers? That's just not what you want from your quarterback πŸ’₯πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

And the Raiders, man... Geno Smith is really struggling to find his groove πŸ€”πŸ’¨ They can't even average 257.2 yards per game?! That's like, next level bad 😩. But hey, at least their defense has been decent-ish? Can they just bring that to this matchup against the Eagles?!

I'm so sick of these short week games too πŸ™„πŸ•°οΈ It's like, can't we all just have a normal schedule for once?! The Eagles' offense is gonna struggle even more with less prep time πŸ’”.

Prediction-wise, I don't know... Geoff says 23-16 for the Eagles, but Nick says 13-9 for the Raiders πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. Can someone just give me a straight answer here?! 😩
 
OMG u guys I'm so hyped for dis game!!! 🀩 The Eagles r really struggling rn but they still got dat solid D 🚨 which is gonna give the Raiders fits! Geno Smith's QB skills are whack πŸ˜‚ and if Jalen Hurts can't get it together, we're in 4 more quarters of agony πŸŽ₯. But on da flip side, da Raiders r still competitive and they've been close to some top teams already! πŸ’ͺ I'm thinkin maybe da game goes into OT because both teams are just so unpredictable 🀯. What do u guys think tho? Should Eagles pull off da win or does da Raiders' offense finally turn it around? πŸ€”
 
Man I'm still thinking about the 49ers game last week πŸ€”, they got destroyed by the Chiefs, but it was close till like the 4th quarter or something... Anyway back to this, the Eagles gotta step up their game, Jalen Hurts can't keep throwing those interceptions πŸ’¦. But at the same time, I think the Raiders offense is just not good enough to take down the Eagles defense πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. I'm still rooting for the Eagles, they're my squad πŸ’―... but if they lose, it's all on Hurts πŸ‘Š
 
I got chills thinking about Jalen Hurts struggling against the Chargers 🀯🏈... like, I know he's still got it in him, you feel me? πŸ’ͺ The Eagles' defense is solid, for sure, but they need their offense to step up and be consistent. And speaking of consistency, I love how Geno Smith is still out there trying to find his groove πŸ”„... it's like, don't give up on him, fam! 😊

You know what really gets me? These teams are both struggling, but they're not giving up. That shows heart and determination, right? πŸ’• And let's be real, this game could be a total snooze-fest or an absolute nail-biter 🀯... either way, I'm here for it! πŸ˜„ The Raiders' ability to stay competitive against strong teams is actually kinda inspiring πŸ™Œ. Let's just hope both teams can come out on top and get back on track πŸ’ͺ
 
Ugh, short week for both teams is gonna be brutal 🀯. Hurts is already struggling and now he's gotta face Geno Smith? Not exactly the most inspiring QB matchup. And yeah, Eagles' defense is solid but Raiders have been close to some strong teams lately... it's anyone's game at this point πŸ˜’. I'm thinking 3-4 point margin either way, one team just needs to get on a roll πŸš€. Can't trust PhillyVoice Sports predictions, always split down the middle πŸ€”.
 
πŸ€” just saw that the philly eagles are in a bit of a slump atm πŸ“‰ they've lost 3 straight games and jalen hurts is strugglin' big time 🀯 on the other hand, the raiders have been strugglin too 🏈 but geno smith is lookin pretty meh πŸ‘Ž anyway, think the eagles defense is gonna come through for 'em this week πŸ’ͺ it's gonna be a low-scoring game, prob 13-9 or somethin πŸ“Š [link to phillyvoice sports article](https://phillyvoicesports.com/...).
 
So I'm watching this game and it's gonna be super tough for both teams... πŸ€” The Eagles are struggling, but they've got that solid defense which could give the Raiders a run for their money. Meanwhile, the Raiders' offense is really not doing it for them, but they have shown some resilience against strong teams lately.

I'm a bit skeptical about PhillyVoice Sports' predictions, tbh... πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ I think both teams have a lot to prove and it's gonna be a close game. The Eagles might be able to pull off a win if their offense can get going, but the Raiders could definitely upset them if they can contain Jalen Hurts' mistakes.

One thing I'm keeping an eye on is how both teams perform on a short week... ⏰ It's gonna be a tough one for both coaches and players. Overall, it's gonna be a really competitive game, and I'm excited to see which team comes out on top! 🏈
