Eagles (4-1) at Saints (4-1)
Against the Cowboys, the Eagles made plays in every facet, from offense to defense to kicking. That was a great game.
Philadelphia is coming off two emotional contests, first on a Monday night against Green Bay, then against Dallas. The Eagles are due for a letdown – they’ve been under a lot of pressure. Philly might have lost against Dallas without hitting on a couple of big pass plays.
That all sets up to be good news for the Saints. They know they can make it competitive if they can stop the Eagles’ big plays.
Philadelphia will try to rely on Brian Westbrook more, but New Orleans’ underrated defense will contain that offense.
The Saints are putting things together – I like how they are using Reggie Bush and Deuce McAllister to form a lethal one-two combo.
Pick: Saints.
