I have a strange feeling the Saints will lose this game.
venue: Superdome, New Orleans, LA
line: ?
time: 6pm MT
thoughts: Eagles playing scrappy and home field really lifted them over the Giants. Saints should be rested and ready to go. Good match ups in this game as Saints O goes against a solid Eagles D and an improving Saints defense tangles with Garcia and the resurgent Eagles O. but this one is in New Orleans...
prediction: Saints 27 Eagles 16
I have a strange feeling the Saints will lose this game.

35-20 N'Awlins
24-13 Who Dat?

Go SAints Go!!!
Go SAints Go!!!
Go SAints Go!!!
Prediction:
Saints = 1093284710938741234
Eagles = -6
The Eagles were fortunate enough to squeak by a bad Giants team. At home.
Now they will have to beat the Saints who have a week's rest, Drew Brees, Reggie Bush and what will be an insane home field advantage in all likelihood.
I give the Eagles -134% chance of winning.
i like those odds and analysis. nicely done.
The loss of Lito Sheppard is huge. Brees will have a field day if there's no pressure from the defensive line. Methinks my Eagles lose a close one.
well, i think what your team has done, already, is mighty impressive. of a way to turn around a team...amazing. i just think you are going to run into a team thats playing great ball right now and things seem to be going their way. i do expect about a 10 point win though, i think the Eagles were a bit shaky against the Giants. if they play much better, then of course, i think it will be closer.

Eagles 30

I don't expect an eagles win on Saturday, but don't judge them by the Giants game. That was the third time the Eagles and Giants played this season, and some how most of the Eagles-Giants games turn out pretty evenly matched regardless of the other teams record.
Math was never my strong suit.
I want the Saints to win, but this just has the feeling of the big set up. Carolina going to the Super Bowl kind of set up. As much as I don't want it to happen - something tells me the Saints are going down. Just one of those feelings.
I was gonna post something similar but you beat me to it. That was a division rivalry that was playing out for the 3rd time this year. When that happens, you have two teams that know just about everything there is to know about the other. The end result is usually something like we saw Sunday night. It definitely wasn't pretty. But last I checked, style points don't count for much.
i'll make my predicition after the game is over
You haven't missed one yet!
thats a good point, and i agree that when teams continually match up it evens things considerably if one team is better than the other.
that being said, and i know you said you don't expect a win so i am sure i'm not telling you anything knew, i think the Saints offense will be too much regardless of whether Lito was there or not. plus, i love that Thomas will be back from suspension.
Sean Peyton will gameplan the Eagles out of the game. They will spread 4 wide and completly pick apart the Eagles. I think it might get ugly. The only way the Eagles have a shot are turnovers and Westbrook. Sidenote I ing hate Jeff Garcia more than any player ever in the history of all sports. Wait a minute, its official, eagles have no chance, Saints re-re-signed Billy Cundiff, game over man, game over
Sigh just as I thought everyone against my Eagles...oh wait most of you are in Texas never mind, that means you are filthy Cowpie fans...not you though Samikey, you are one of the few good Cowpie fans, anyways, I wouldn't be shocked if the Eagles lose, after winning our division and beating the Giants, everything from here is gravy. But I think the Eagles can pull it out, The 'Aints are gonna be rusty and not really play off seasoned, besides they are 4-4 at the dome, so we shall see..

Expect a post now from GrandeDavid...he is a Texan and a filthy Houston Texan fan!
The Saints will have about 5 games they can look at to study the Eagles tendencies.
That's a rather small sample. Since Reid handed over play-calling to the OC they run a completely different style of offense since they last played the Saints earlier in the year. The key is for the Eagles to use that ball-control offense to sustain long drives,
and keep the Saints offense off of the field. They have been vulnerable over the last few weeks. They started at 5 and 1 and finished at 10-6. That's .500 ball over the last 2/3 of the season. Their defense is scrappy, and has a lot of heart, but they don't have too many outstanding defensive players.
The Saints fans at saintsreport sure are a confident bunch. A lot of them are already looking past this game, past the NFC Championship, and are already talking about winning the SuperBowl. I know that they're the crippled kid in the wheelchair when it comes to experiencing playoff games, but damn. SuperBowl talk?
reggie bush will get 20 td's and colston will get 10
