The NFL has decided to flex the Week 15 matchup between the Seattle Seahawks (6-5) and the Philadelphia Eagles (10-1) to Monday Night Football.
It will replace what will likely be a dismal matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs (8-3) and the New England Patriots (2-9), who were originally scheduled for three consecutive primetime games. That game will be moved to the 1:00 p.m. Eastern time slot on Sunday.
💪 💪 The first Monday Night Flex ever: The #Eagles and #Seahawks will now play on MNF in Seattle in Week 15. The game moves to Dec. 18, from Dec. 17.
Meanwhile the #Patriots–#Chiefs game will be played at 1 pm on Dec. 17. pic.twitter.com/zGxG4dh3zP

Pete Caroll’s teams have done extraordinarily well against the Eagles over the years, going 7-0 against them since he became Seattle’s head coach. However, this current version of Philadelphia is far superior to any they have faced before. Our best guess is that the Eagles will be favored by at least a touchdown despite playing on the road.
On the bright side, the Seahawks have the best Monday night record in the NFL, now 30-12 after they pounded the New York Giants in Week 4.
