Philadelphia has been ridiculously good this season. The Eagles have won two games in a row, have won 11 of their last 12 games and only have two losses on the season. Those two losses came to the Kansas City Chiefs and the Seattle Seahawks. This team rarely loses ball games.

Oakland is obviously not as fortunate. The Raiders have lost two games in a row to fall to 6-8 on the season. Before that, the Raiders had gone 4-2 to stay in the AFC playoff mix until this week. Oakland hasn’t won a road game since beating the Miami Dolphins back on Sunday Night Football back in Week 9.

There’s really no way around this. It will take a Christmas night miracle for the eliminated visiting Raiders to beat the hometown playoff-bound Eagles on Monday Night Football. The Silver and Black are getting 10 points to play in a frigid one where at least it won’t be snowing. This is the NFL. We have seen crazier things happen.
