The Saints went 3-5 on the road this season, losing five of their last six outside the Superdome. If the Saints overcome their road loses against the Eagles, it will mark the first playoff victory in an opponent’s stadium in franchise history. Good luck on that one !!!! The Saints inability to win big games on the road is no secret, as New Orleans only went 3-5 SU on the road and managed just one point spread cover during that stretch. In that mix were losses to the Panthers, Seahawks, and Patriots – all playoff bound teams. The Saints are -37 in point differential and -6 in turnover differential away from the Superdome this season. Defensively the Eagles allow 23.9 points and a 29th ranked 394.2 yards per game but they are plus 12 in turnover ratio. The Eagles surprised a lot of people this season SBR members, but the reality of it is this is a roster loaded with talent. Without McCoy however Philadelphia may not be playing against the New Orleans Saints in Saturday’s NFC wild-card game. McCoy finishing the regular season with 1,607 rushing yards and nine touchdowns, plus 539 receiving yards and two touchdowns. His per game rushing average (100.4). But that’s not the biggest reason I believe they have a chance to make a run and win covering the -2 /1/2. their much-improved defense coordinated by Bill Davis. In the five games since the Eagles’ bye, the DeMeco Ryans-led unit limited opponents to an average of 74.4 yards on the ground and forced 12 turnovers. All good teams possess balance. And right now, the Eagles certainly have it. Eagles - 2 1/2 is my bet were Eagles at are home in the Eagles Nest with a very loud Philadelphia crowd.
