Saints by 17 (unless the weather is bad?) The Eagles are not a good football team. Hypebeast.

I rarely groan, like Hannibal, I find it tasteless, but even Hannibal needs to do it occasionally.

If this game comes down to the run game, the Birds win.

Supposed to get up to 6 inches of snow on Friday. Not sure how the field will be when they start up on Saturday. Regardless this will be a shoot out, and with the way the Saints have been on the road this year I see the Eagles winning by 3.

I think Rob Ryan is going to look at how the Cowboys were able to get pressure on Foles and adjust his gameplan accordingly. The Saints offense will cut through the Eagles defense like a hot knife through butter. Not sure how this one is within 21 points unless there is some kind of blizzard and then all bets are off. I'm pretty sure the Saints were hoping to play the Cowboys if for no other reason than to play indoors.

yah; lets see Nick Foles beat Breeze in a Playoff Shootout game.......
Saints are too physical and the Eagles already won their "Superbowl game" against a lame Cowboy team.

Nailed my colours to the mast - Saints ML +146

Over Under on this game is now + - 124 points.

Eagles team is a fraud. Brees is having a terrible night and that's why this is close. I'm not sure either of these teams can win next week to be honest.

The Saints are a better team than the Eagles. Slightly less fraudulent, the main difference is their defence is not a train wreck. They are a solid wildcard team who probably won't make a deep run but if the stars align ... the Eagles on the other hand would get blasted by a contender.

the saints have been proven to be a fraud on the road. although they are playing well in philly tonight

 

[dave]

Season over ... but if you would have told me 10-6 this season with a division title and home playoff game when the season began, I would have been thrilled ... so I guess it's a satisfying season.
Oh well, there's always next year.

 

[Maynard]

i feel bad for philly fan. that had to be a gut wrenching loss.

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Weather is the best defense. In the back of my head I wanted Philly to win so Jerry Jones can feel a little shittier about his fuck face coach. But Eagles losing in painful fashion is a decent substitute.

Maybe I'm alone on this one, but it really wasn't that gut-wrenching to me. Two good teams, great game, nothing controversial. Honestly, Saints deserved to win that game. Eagles' offence only got going when the corner went down.
Eagles need another off-season, better safeties, Maclin back.

I honestly saw nothing gut-wrenching about the game. We had two timeouts and couldn't stop their top 5 to 8 offence with our mid-level D that needs some draft and free agent help. Not to mention our special teams that killed us all season. Not Henery's missed FG, the fact that our kick coverage was brutal all year and Henery can't kick the ball out of the end zone ... ever.

Philly isn't a good team. You have Patrick Chung as your safety and were clearly exposed.

gut wrenching at the end when they had that sinking feeling knowing they cant stop the clock and in the end the saints would run it down and kick the FG. clinging to the hope of a blocked FG and knowing full well that they were going to lose.
