The Philadelphia Eagles initially opened as 2.5-point highway favorites in opposition to the New Orleans Saints in Week 3.
That was earlier than the Eagles choked and misplaced to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night time.
The Birds are actually 1.5-point underdogs to the Saints, in keeping with FanDuel.
Actually, it’s stunning that the Saints aren’t favored by extra. And I really feel like I’m not simply saying that as an overreaction to the Eagles’ unhealthy loss.
The Saints’ offense has principally been unstoppable by means of two video games, producing 91 factors mixed in wins over the Carolina Panthers and the Dallas Cowboys. New offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak clearly has that operation clicking.
It’s not straightforward to consider within the Eagles happening to the Superdome and instantly stifling that offense. Not with how they’ve been so susceptible on the bottom (315 dashing yards allowed on 49 makes an attempt, 6.4 common). Or with how they’ve been unable to generate stress.
The Eagles’ offense will seemingly be tasked with successful in a shootout. And with A.J. Brown apparently set to overlook at the very least another recreation, that a lot might be simpler stated than completed.
This simply isn’t a great spot for the Eagles coming off a deflating loss and taking part in on brief relaxation. Taking the Saints feels too straightforward. One would think about the road will solely enhance of their favor as this week goes alongside.
