NFL's Week 14 Marquee Match-up: Seattle vs. Philadelphia. How is each team preparing for the big game?

This game may set the stage for a first round bye in the playoffs.  8-4 Seattle goes on the road to face 9-3 Philadelphia.  Here is the latest from BleacherReport.com

In a matter of two weeks, the 8-4 Seattle Seahawks have gone from looking like an also-ran in the to NFC to a team on the brink of taking control of its division. The Seahawks knocked off the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers in back-to-back games by the same odd score of 19-3.

In doing so, they have now positioned themselves as the NFC's fifth-ranked team, winning tiebreakers with the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys. Sitting a game behind the slumping Cardinals, the schedule doesn't get any easier this week, as the Seahawks head across the country to face the 9-3 Philadelphia Eagles.

Fresh off a big divisional win over the same Dallas Cowboys that knocked off the Seahawks in Seattle, this game has all the makings of a possible NFC Championship Game preview between two major Super Bowl contenders.

Seattle's defense is healthy and looks every bit as stout as it did a year ago, albeit in a different way. The offense continues to take strides toward becoming more efficient by utilizing their running attack to spark the passing game. Russell Wilson appears to have made it through his rough patch unscathed and is in prime form for the home stretch as well.

The Eagles are 6-0 at home, while the Seahawks have had the majority of their struggles on the road, posting a 3-3 record so far. According to Odds Shark, the opening lines for this week's matchup opened up with Seattle being 1.5-point underdogs but have since shifted to pick 'em.

On Defense 

There were a lot of Mark Sanchez skeptics when third-year quarterback Nick Foles suffered a broken collarbone, but an Eagles offense that averaged 29.6 points per game only got better under the former New York Jets first-round draft pick.

The Seahawks have dealt with injuries along the offensive line all season, giving them something in common with their Week 14 opponent.

As the Eagles offensive line has healed up, the team's running game has improved significantly, and LeSean McCoy has rushed for 289 yards over the last two weeks.

Though the Seahawks run defense has been perhaps the team's greatest strength throughout the year, they face a difficult challenge in stopping Philadelphia's improving run game. The pace at which the Eagles offense plays will put significant strain on the Seahawks' thin defensive rotation. 

None of the team's current defensive tackles has played more than 41 snaps in a game, with two of the three members seeing their highest totals in the loss to Dallas. The Cowboys ran 77 plays against Seattle; the Eagles have averaged 79 offensive snaps per game over the last five weeks. 

The Seahawks will need to put added strain on the Legion of Boom to stop the passing game while stacking the box to crush the Eagles run and screen game. Darren Sproles and McCoy present significant threats in the passing game, too.

On Offense

Oft-injured starting center Max Unger has missed the majority of the season for Seattle but could make another return to the lineup this week. Seattle's offensive line has been better of late, especially in the run-blocking department, but the pass protection is still hit-or-miss most of the time. 

They will face a major test in Philadelphia, as the Eagles are second in the league with 42 sacks. The right side of the offensive line in particular will need to step up their play to keep Russell Wilson upright. Justin Britt and J.R. Sweezy have been the weakest links along the offensive line on pass plays.

Everyone will expect to see plenty of screen passes from Seattle, but any lapses in pass blocking could result in even more screens and the team's tight ends being left in to block. The Seahawks must get their league-best running game going with Wilson chipping in earlier than normal to help get the Eagles pass-rushers out of rhythm.

Marshawn Lynch is VERY Talkative and VERY funny

Marshawn Lynch scene from The League on FXX

Marshawn Lynch scene from The League on FXX

Marshawn Lynch punks the crew of The League and his agent.  Apparently Marshawn was shooting a scene for The League and the only day Beast Mode could shoot the scene in LA was his off day on Tuesday.  He told his agent he would be in LA to shoot the scene and they sent him a car that would pick him up at his hotel at 10:30 in the morning. When the morning of the shoot came, no one could get a hold of Marshawn...not his agent, not the crew...no one.  Keep in mind that production was all set up and ready to shoot this one scene with Marshawn and it costs a lot of money for one day of filming for a network show. Executives from The League called Marshawn's agent asking where he was? Would he even show up?  The only thing Marshawn's agent could say was I haven't heard from him.  Then just as the production was ready to shut down the shoot.  Beast Mode's agent called and told The League's producers he had just heard from Marshawn and that Beast Mode was in a car accident on the way to the airport and wouldn't make it to the set. This is what Marshawn told his agent...and his agent had to pass on the bad news.  It turns out that Marshawn was messing with his agent...he was NEVER in a car accident and just as the crew was ready to pull the plug on shooting the scene, Marshawn walked on to the set all smiles and ready to shoot his scene.  This story was told by the producers on The Rich Eisen show.  Beast Mode is one funny dude.  He doesn't need to talk to the media...he does all his talking on the field.  But when he wants to talk...it is so memorable!! He does a brilliant job of marketing himself with very few words, until he has something to say! Here is the clip.
