Eagles Vs. Raiders Predictions For Week 15 Of The Nfl Season

Eagles vs. Raiders predictions for Week 15 of the NFL season originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

Here are our Eagles-Raiders predictions for Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season.

The Eagles (8-5) are hosting the Las Vegas Raiders (2-11) at the Linc on Sunday afternoon.

Let’s get to the predictions:

Reuben Frank (9-4)

This game reminds me so much of Arizona in 2023. The Eagles had lost three of four to fall from 10-1 to 11-4 and the season was slipping away. They desperately needed a win, and one of the worst teams in football was on its way to Philly. The Cards were 3-12 under rookie head coach Jonathan Gannon, the Eagles were 12-point favorites, the game was at the Linc, and we were all convinced the Eagles would rebound with a lopsided win over the Cards. And despite taking a 21-6 halftime lead, they did not. They lost 35-31, the only time in the franchise’s 94-year history they’ve blown a two-touchdown halftime lead against a team with a winning percentage of .250 or worse. Great stat, isn’t it? So here come the Raiders, who look for all the world like the 2023 Cards. They’re 2-11, they’ve lost seven straight games by an average of 13 points and, yes, once again the Eagles are double-digit favorites. And I admit I won’t be shocked if the Eagles lose this one, too, and I really am tempted to pick Oakland, as Buddy Ryan called them 10 years after they initially moved to L.A. But I’m going Eagles because at least this team has a defense that should be able to shut down a Raiders offense that’s averaging 15 points per game and has scored seven touchdowns in its last six games and will likely be starting Kenny Pickett at quarterback.

Earlier in the season, we gave the Eagles credit for finding ways to pull out wins. And it’s true that good teams seem to find ways to win. But the flip side of that: Bad teams find ways to lose. And the Eagles have found some unique ways to stumble upon this three-game losing streak. They desperately need to get a win and they shouldn’t be overlooking this two-win Raiders team. I don’t have a ton of confidence in a blowout win and I’m not even sure the Eagles are capable of scoring enough to cover an 11 1/2-point spread. But this Raiders offense is horrible and even though I think Kenny Pickett might actually be better than starter Geno Smith, I don’t think he’ll be able to jump start that offense. I expect the Eagles’ defense to lead them to a win and the offense to do enough this time.

Barrett Brooks (7-6)

The Eagles’ offense looked different from the past month. Play calling took a step forward. I saw a lot of different personnel packages and plays under-center. This has a definite effect on how you defend the Eagles. I believe it helps Saquon Barkley a better path to the line of scrimmage. He looked more comfortable going downhill and setting up blocks for the offensive line. The running game allowed the play action pass to be more of a threat and take the top off the defense. Play action is also a solid protection, meaning you keep more blockers, like TEs and RBs, in the protection. It also allows the offensive line to fire off and be more aggressive on their pass sets.

The defense played their best game on Monday. The defensive line hunted and made Justin Herbert uncomfortable all night. DC Vic Fangio’s pass coverage seemed more aggressive and the DBs rerouted WRs all game. The defense played so well that there should have been no way they lost that game.

I know the Raiders are the worst team in the NFL, but I don’t know what team will show up on Sunday.

Eagles 3, Raiders 2

Mike Mulhern (8-5)

Let’s hope Monday night was rock bottom for the 2025 Eagles. If it’s not, everything is on the table this offseason. They simply cannot drop a game to a two-win Raiders team that has lost seven in a row and has Kenny Pickett under center. Vic Fangio’s defense should put together another dominant performance against one of the worst offenses in the league.

The question remains: what will we see from the Eagles when they have the ball? After a brutal five-turnover performance from Jalen Hurts, they might have to dial things back a touch, especially given the expected forecast. It was nice to see downfield shots and under center success, but now they must limit the mistakes. In an ideal world you win Nick Sirianni’s famed double positive of explosive plays and the turnover battle. That shouldn’t be a problem on Sunday, given the opponent. Their magic number to clinch the division shrinks to two.

Eagles 27, Raiders 13

Ashlyn Sullivan (7-6)

This losing streak has been brutal for my predictions! During this three-game losing streak, I kept going back to talent that would outweigh that lack of production we are seeing on offense. And guess what … I am doing it again. The Eagles are better than the Raiders at every single position on the football field. Yes, the Raiders have a wrecking ball on the defensive line with Maxx Crosby that will make the offense look worse than it already has. The Eagles’ defense will be able to handle the Raiders’ stagnant offense with Kenny Pickett at starting quarterback with little issue. That will win the Eagles this game and get them back on track. Especially with the weather playing a factor, I think this is a lower scoring, ugly football game. That goes perfectly into what the Eagles were doing right at the beginning of the season when they were winning football games.
