Conditioning program aside. Foles and Skip are in High Cotton.

Sooner or later Brees is going to go off on the road

Eagles #32 Defense vs. pass a good place to do it

If Orton can stay close- Brees will double his production

Watch the weather...

Saints are a different team when dealing with conditions.

Birds have NOBODY to check Graham.

The Linc will be ROCKIN'.

I was thinking OVER until I saw the number.  Another toughie but gotta go with the Eagles at home, especially if weather is crappy.  Foles is the diamond in the rough that seems loosy goosy enough to win this one.

Foles looked like a deer in the headlights, against Dallas. He has one week , not two weeks to prepare. I hear the weather may be below zero degrees. Think I'll enjoy watching this game. Total is ridiculously high.

How anyone can say Saints aren't a completely different team on the road is beyond me.  2013 Avg PPG on Road and Outdoors = 18.  2013 Avg PPG @ Home = 34.  Huge advantage for Eagles, especially with anticipated weather.  FLY EAGLES FLY.  Birds win by 6.

Yes, weather will be cold - but no wind, snow, sleet, rain.....

https://www.google.com/#q=weather+forecast+Lincoln+Financial+Field

It's Drew Brees and Sean Payton in the playoffs, against a rookie coach and (basically) a rookie QB. Just too much experience, and if it comes down to a shootout, just too much firepower, too.....

This is the only road team that wins this week. Good Luck All!!!

Ok here we go. Saints lost to all its playoff bound teams except SF & Car but both games were at home. My Eagles lost all its playoff bound teams except GB but that was an away game. Jimmy Graham and Colston will hurt us but I'm worried about Sproles catching the ball. That being said, Eagles win by 4.

NO +2.5 - i don't like the Saints road record, but i'll side with their D to keep Foles in check in his first playoff game as a favorite, not a good situation vs the veteran Brees.  Line seems fishy, i'll wait to see if it steams to 3 later in the week. SCORE: Saints 33-Eagles 21.

Sean peyton, Drew Brees, and the entire saints team is SICK  of hearing how they cant play on the road, watch them make a statement in Philly and win.   Saints + 2.5

dont over think this one, saints win by a touchdown, too much experience and the dfenc ofenc matchup is just too great.  saints might not be good on the road but they played a very tough schedule and the eagles had a very soft one.  Also the eagles are not a jagaunut  at home only winning three games and only one decent opponent

As long as it's not windy this total should still go over. Even though NO sucks on the road this year PHI going in with a QB and coach with no playoff experience meaning mistakes will be made by the Eagles. I'll take my chances with the experience of Payton and Brees.

You have to be a little retarded to bet against Brees and Jimmy Graham (plus a great defense which he has NEVER had backing him even in the Super Bowl year)...

And I'm getting points? Someone said it earlier...Foles was a deer in the headlights in the big game last week and that was against Orton!

Cmon people, don't dig up any excuses to derail one of the greatest qb/coach combos in the history of the playoffs and they now have a defense!!!

No reason to play any total hear....moneyline has way too much value
Proving is hard. Talk is easy.

I'm staying very picky on this bet. No play unless the line moves to New Orleans +3 and the weather isn't atrocious. Brees and company can get it done IF it isn't freeze your nuts off cold and windy. Brees is a different QB playing outdoors, the numbers don't lie. But he is a winner and I'll bet on him if it isn't super cold. That Philly defense is way worse than New Orleans right now, that has to play into my decision to lean towards New Orleans at this point.

Go figure. The Eagles are the best at running the football and the Saints can't stop it.

The Saints are second in the league in passing the the Eagles are #32 against the pass. 

The Saints will miss Jabari Greer and their rookie safety Kenny Vaccaro. They helped them out against the pass. That should help Foles at home. 

The weather is not supposed to be too bad so no advantage there. 

Saints kicker was cut and now they are relying on Shayne Graham who equally sucks. In a field goal game, going with the team with the better kicker.

Philly -2.5
